It is not correct to say that Django does not support that format. That format is not one that is accepted by default as an input format for the DateTimeField form field. However, you can easily specify your own input_formats and then your form will accept that format: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/fields/#datetimefield > Also, I want to store this date in > the mysql database. > It does not make sense to say you want to store that format in MySQL. The value stored in MySQL is a DATETIME, independent of any particular format. Since you are using Django you do not need to be concerned with what format is used when Django stores the data to MySQL or retrieves it from MySQL. What you need to adjust is the input formats your field accepts, and the output format used by your form field's widget to display existing data (see the format parameter here, for example: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/widgets/#django.forms.DateTimeInput) Karen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
