How do I create a read only datatime field with a custom admin?
Here is the psudo code from what I've done:
-------------------------------------
class myAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(myAdminForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
...
self.fields['Created_date'].widget.attrs['readonly'] = 'readonly'
...
class myAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
...
change_form_template= 'my_change_form_admin.html'
form = myAdminForm
...
#readonly_fields = ['Created_date', 'Modified_date']
usrAdminSite.register(myMdl, myAdmin)
-------------------------------------
For 'my_change_form_admin.html' I've started with the admins
'change_form.html' and tweaked it. Since I want to access the individual
fields I've removed:
---------------------
{% for fieldset in adminform %}
{% include "admin/includes/fieldset.html" %}
{% endfor %}
----------------------
and replaced it with code like 'adminform.form.Created_date'.
This worked fine till I tried to give 'Created_date' a read only
attribute. In myAdmin if I add <readonly_fields = ['Created_date',]>
then 'adminform.form.Created_date' no longer exists.
Next in 'myAdminForm' I added
<self.fields['Created_date'].widget.attrs['readonly'] = 'readonly'> but
this seems to be ignored. I also tried
<self.fields['Created_date'].widget.attrs['readonly'] = True> with the
same effect.
How should I create a read only datatime field? I'm using Django 1.3.
