I've been playing around with my settings file and have included a
DATE_FORMAT and a DATETIME_FORMAT setting.
DATETIME_FORMAT = 'j F Y H:i'
DATE_FORMAT = 'j F Y'
When using the date template filter on a date or datetime variable, I
get my dates formatted in the format set in DATE_FORMAT.
{{ myvariable|date }}
This outputs to something like '24 december 2008' independently if
this is a date or datetime variable.
Shouldn't this filter use the DATETIME_FORMAT if the provided variable
is a datetime one?
Is this the correct way to handle localized date and datetime formats
in django?
