I have a Model with DateField. In Django admin when I try to enter the date in Django Admin in format %d-%m-%Y it throws error as Enter a valid date.. Since the default pattern is %Y-%m-%d

I tried the following but couldnt find a satisfied solution over the docs:

1. Change the format type with strftime in model.
2. Add DATE_INPUT_FORMATS in settings.
3. Change language code to "en-IN"

Is there any way to save the date in %d-%m-%Y format.

CodePudding user response：

class YourModel(models.Model):
    date = models.DateField('Date', null=True, blank=True)

Insert this in Settings.py

DATE_FORMAT = ( ( 'd-m-Y' ))
DATE_INPUT_FORMATS = ( ('%d-%m-%Y'),)
DATETIME_FORMAT = (( 'd-m-Y H:i' ))
DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS = (('%d-%m-%Y %H:%i'),)

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-us'

TIME_ZONE = 'Asia/Kolkata'

USE_I18N = True

USE_L10N = False

USE_TZ = False

You have to go into your model and add a couple of line:

import datetime
class yourModel(models.model):
    date = field etc
    def __str__(self):
        return date.strftime('%d-%m-%Y')
