Question

def confirmemail(request,token):

    user = Users.objects.get(email_token = token)
    if user:
        user.email_token = ''
        user.email_token_expiry = ''
        user.email_verified = 1
        user.active = 1
        user.save()
    return render_to_response('confirmemail.html', {'user': user}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

I get error:

email_token_expiry is a datetime field in mysql table.

How can i set the email_token_expiry to null or empty or to the right formated null/0/empty datetime?

It will be highly appreciated if someone help me to fix this problem.

models.py:

class Users(models.Model):
    username = models.CharField(max_length=255,unique=True)
    slug = models.CharField(max_length=255, default='0')
    password = models.CharField(max_length=300)
    password_token = models.CharField(max_length=300, default='0')
    email = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)
    email_verified = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    email_token = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    email_token_expiry = models.DateTimeField()
    tos = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    active = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    last_login = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    last_action = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    role = models.CharField(max_length=255, default='0')
    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    modified = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.username

class UsersModelForm(forms.ModelForm):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(UsersModelForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields.keyOrder = ['username', 'email', 'password', 'passwordrepeat']


    passwordrepeat = forms.CharField(max_length=300, widget=forms.PasswordInput, label=u'Repeat Password')

    class Meta:
        model = Users
        fields = ('username', 'password', 'passwordrepeat', 'email')
        widgets = {
            'password' : forms.PasswordInput(),
        }

    def clean(self):
        cleaned_data = self.cleaned_data
        password = cleaned_data.get("password")
        passwordrepeat = cleaned_data.get("passwordrepeat")
        if password != passwordrepeat:
            raise forms.ValidationError("Passwords must match.")

        return cleaned_data

Specify email_token_expiry as @ArthurNeves suggests in models.py.

email_token_expiry = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True)

Then when you set email_token_expiry it must be:

user.email_token_expiry = None

Not:

user.email_token_expiry = ''
