Question

I’m using Thauber’s lovely Django schedule app, but have run into a problem: I can’t figure out how to exclude the time portion of the datetime field.

My form class and lame exclusion attempt looks like this:

 class LaundryDeliveryForm(EventForm):
    start = forms.DateTimeField(widget=forms.SplitDateTimeWidget)
    end = forms.DateTimeField(widget=forms.SplitDateTimeWidget, help_text = ("The end time must be later than start time."))
    class Meta:
        model = LaundryDelivery 
        exclude = EventForm.Meta.exclude + ('active', 'start.time')

Ideally, I’d like to just store the day, or store the start.time as some arbitrary time like 8 a.m., but while the active field is happily excluded, the time field remains open.

Tried sifting through the documentation but couldn’t track what I needed down.

You can use, DateInput widget as widget for current form, or forms.DateField(), which has default DateInput widget.
