I use a small dirty trick. It's dirty, but I feel it's easier and
quicker than building custom validators/manipulators.
I have a small function:
----------------------------------------------
def cadena_a_fecha(strfecha):
# Eliminamos todos los posibles separadores
strfecha=strfecha.replace("-","")
strfecha=strfecha.replace("/","")
strfecha=strfecha.replace(" ","")
strfecha=strfecha.replace(".","")
# Probamos varios metodos
try:
fecha=time.strptime(strfecha,"%d%m%y")
except ValueError :
fecha=time.strptime(strfecha,"%d%m%Y")
return datetime.date(fecha[0],fecha[1],fecha[2])
------------------------------------------
It takes a string, removes the usual data separators and try to convert
it to a datetime using the python strptime.
In the form view code I did something like that
--------------------------------
def formulario(request,visita_id):
<split>
if request.POST :
datos = request.POST.copy()
errores = manipulador.get_validation_errors(datos)
if errores.has_key('Fecha') :
# Error de fecha, vamos a intentar convertirla
try:
fecha = cadena_a_fecha(datos['Fecha'])
except :
pass
else :
datos['Fecha']=fecha.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
errores=manipulador.get_validation_errors(datos)
<split>
-------------------------------
I use the usual form stuff. But if I detect an error on the date field
(Fecha in Spanish) I just throw the string to the previous function. If
it doesn't raise an exception I use the return to build a sting that
django will accept and call get_validation_errors again.
It's not pretty, not very portable, prone to break when the main
manipulator code/system change, but... well it's easy.
