If it is an input field in your form, then using the CalendarDateTimePicker seems to be the easiest thing, since it will already convert the input to the right format for you. If you're doing it inside your code, you can set this in your create/update methods, inside your model and in your database. Doing it inside your create/update methods will require that you replicate this code everywhere you need to create/update records. Doing it in your model will concentrate this only there. If you're sharing this database with other applications written in other languages, then you definitely want to have it as a trigger in your database and you won't have to worry with this anywhere in any of your applications. How to do it? To get the current date and time: >>> import datetime >>> datetime.datetime.now() datetime.datetime(2006, 4, 26, 14, 36, 9, 119913) >>> datetime.date.today() datetime.date(2006, 4, 26) So, assigning the output of "now()" to a variable and using it to insert/update data in your code should do the trick, > Again I am a noobie in turbogears :) That's no problem at all ;-) -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
