So tackling the first issue I've got something working, but I'm not
particularly proud of it. To get a "DatePicker" on a
models.DateField, I had to kind of hack things up a bit with custom
Model Field:
from django import forms
from django.db.models import DateField
class CSSDateField(DateField):
def formfield(self, **kwargs):
defaults = {'widget' : forms.TextInput(attrs={'class':'date'})}
defaults.update(kwargs)
return super(DateField, self).formfield(**defaults)
Then in my Model I do something like
class MyModel(models.Model):
starts_on = CSSDateField()
Then in my form template, I use jquery and do something like:
$("input.date").datetimepicker()
Like I said, I don't really like this solution, and I'm hoping there's
a better one. My thinking is that the best way would be to hook this
kind of thing into a ModelForm Meta class. Specifically, the
ModelForm would know to add this css class to DateFields based on some
configuration in the Meta class. Maybe this already exists, and I
just don't know it.
The other thing I thought is that if I'm going to create a custom
model Field just to add a css class, then it would be better to just
add an argument like widget_attrs={'css' : 'some_class'}. Maybe a
purist would say, oh, you've coupled your model with your view, and I
kind of agree, so I think the ModelForm magic would be better, but end
the end, there was already a coupling so I really don't care, but want
to define this in one spot.
Thanks in advance.
