Using date picker from django admin

I'm new to Django and I'm trying to find the Django Admin date picker widget. I have search but got no results. Could anyone help me to use it on the project I'm working on?

I have a datetimefield in my model, like this:

fin = models.DateTimeField()

When creating a model from the admin is shows the widget but when I do it from the project it doesn't.

Solution

  • Specify the widget in your form as follows:

    from django.contrib.admin.widgets import AdminDateWidget

class YourForm(forms.ModelForm):
        from_date = forms.DateField(widget=AdminDateWidget())

    Don't forget to include the scripts and css in your template:

    {{ form.media }}
