DateFormat in Django and Appengine

[Peter Newman]

Guys -

I have a slight issue with dates in Django and appengine:

I have the following class because i want date input in the form of DD/
MM/YY

class MyForm(ModelForm):
  mydate = forms.DateTimeField(input_formats=['%d-%m-%y', '%d/%m/
%y'])
  class Meta:
  model = MyObject

This works for entering into the datastore.
However when i use a generic view to edit the data the form comes back
in the format of -MM-DD. Any ideas on how to change that?

Thanks
Peter

Re: filter on entries from a certain user

[Peter Newman]

Ok i am a bit further. The above only works with Google's
authentication. However I want to use Django authentication. Is there
a way to add the current user to the model during creation of the
entity? There must be something similar as auro_current_user_add you
would think?

filter on entries from a certain user

[Peter Newman]

Guys -

I have
class Contact(db.Model):
person = db.ReferenceProperty(Person)
contact_date = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True)
remarks = db.TextProperty()
owner = db.UserProperty(auto_current_user_add=True)

and a simple form
class ContactForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Contact

but when i add a record owner remains None??? what am i doing wrong?
