Re: Django date format issue

I'm not shore if what i did its fine or not but works, otherwise i see you put some twist to the problem... nevertheless what i do its:

In Settings set properly the time_zone and use_l10n=true... then in my model use something like ...models.DateTimeField('Creation Date', default=datetime.now())...

then in templates use a filter like ...|date:"D d/m/Y"... to render the date in format "day-name" dd/mm/yyyy.

In the form.py just use standard, exclude some fields, use some widget... but keep simplicity.

hope to help you a little.

Cheers

Any help is greatly appreciated.
