Re: Update: Date formatting between model and form output
Found an error in the model code. It should be this:

Re: Update: Date formatting between model and form output
Hi Koen,
I'm using modelform, having tried the 'output_format' there does not seems to
work. In the mean time I figured out a solution within the model like this:
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(Product, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
if not isinstance(self.period_start_date, unicode):
self.period_start_date = self.period_start_date.strftime('%d-%m-%Y')
nb: the unicode test is for when a new empty object is invoked.
I'm not sure yet whether formatting like this belongs on the model or the form
side.
Anyway, thanx for the response.
Regards,
Gerard.

Hi Gerard,
the DateTimeInput widget already accepts a format parameter.
What I do is I have a subclass of ModelForm that in its init goes over
the fields and replaces the widget for Datefields with a datetimeinput
with the correct format. I also change the input format their (I
prefer dd/mm/).
something like:
for field in self.fields:
if isinstance(self.fields[field], forms.Datefield):
self.fields[field].input_formats = settings.DATE_INPUT_FORMATS
self.fields[field].widget = forms.DateTimeInput(format =
settings.DATE_OUTPUT_FORMAT)
as you can see, I put the formats in my settings file, but of course
you could just plug them right in here too.
I am not sure this is the best way to do this, but maybe this helps.
Koen
