All
1.My application consist of two part.Part I - Settings page //just like
settings selection in iphone or mobile phone
Part II - Event
creation page
So,in settings page ,in my app a page called datetime_format.html is for
selecting date and time formats.This contains only two formats namely
dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy.In forms.py i had mentioned 0 and 1 for
respective format.If user selected mm/dd/yyyy format in database,the value
is stored as 1.Depend on the value in database i am process to change the
format of date in my event creation page.Based on the format selected,the
date format takes effect in event creation page.
My problem is,if the user selects the format as dd/mm/yyyy and click
save,no problem appears.
If the selected format is mm/dd/yyyy and if user tried to change the
date,the date and month gets interchange,for example if the date is
02/03/2013 (3rd feb)in mm/dd/yyyy format after form post(after save in
database) the values become 03/02/2013 that is 2nd march.
But if the given date is 02/26/2013 that is (26th feb) after post it is
saving as such and no format interchange issue.
I want to know why this is happening and how to solve this.
Thanks
