I am trying to use the SplitDateTimeWidget but want it to accept date in day - month - year format.
from django.forms.widgets import SplitDateTimeWidget
class EventForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Event
widgets = {'start': SplitDateTimeWidget(date_format='%d/%m/%Y')}
The SplitDateTimeWidget accepts a date_format
argument, which I expect to be used to validate the date input but it isn't.
The default widget is correctly replaced but it ignores the date_format and insists on validating against the default month - day - year.
I also tried setting the DATE_FORMAT and DATE_INPUT_FORMATS settings with no luck.
Thanks for any help.
