Question

I have a field in my model

    published_on = models.DateTimeField() 

on a Django template page and I want to show only the date instead of date along with time. Any idea how to truncate the time form date in the django model form?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use the date filter in your template, for instance:

{{ form.published_on|date:"D d M Y" }}

Or just:

{{ form.published_on|date }}

You can customize the output the way you want, or use the locale default. See this link for details.
