One way to store such information can be like this:
Create a model "Day". This will hold entries for each day i.e. from Monday till Sunday
In the UserProfile model, create a ManyToMany relation to the above defined Day model through an intermediate table (say WorkingHours) which can hold the "from" and "to" time.

Partial example below:

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    working_hours = models.ManyToManyField("Day", through="WorkingHours")

class WorkingHours(models.Model)
    profile = models.ForeignKey("UserProfile")
    day = models.ForeignKey("Day")
    from_time = models.TimeField()
    to_time = models.TimeField()

While creating the forms, take input from the user for the WorkingHours model. This way, the days of work will not be hardcoded, and user can select mutiple choices.

Hi

I am developing an event app which has users who publish events , other users also.
Now users have their profile info for which i have made a very common UserProfile Model with all the necessary details in it.

I have a requirement where in UserProfile model i need to display a field institue_hours_of_operation( no. of hours that an institute works)


class UserProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, blank=True, null=True, unique=True)
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
    last_name = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
    gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=GENDER_CHOICES, blank=True)
    birth_date = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
    street_address = models.CharField(max_length=75, blank=True)
    city = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
    zip_code = models.IntegerField(max_length=7, blank=True, null=True)
    country = models.CharField(max_length=30, blank=True)
    mobile = models.CharField(max_length=15, blank=True)
    home_phone = models.CharField(max_length=15, blank=True)
    primary_email = models.EmailField(max_length=60, blank=True)
    secondary_email = models.EmailField(max_length=60, blank=True)
    institution_name = models.CharField(max_length=100,blank=True,null=True)
    institution_website = models.CharField(max_length=100,blank=True,null=True)


# Field to be added

It will be displayed in html like this

Insitutue hour of operation :       Monday  9.00 - 17.00 (Monday will be hardcoded,Time will be filled by user)
                                              Tuesday 9.00 - 17.00 (Monday will be hardcoded,Time will be filled by user)

                                               and so on

# Note the weekdays like monday,  tuesday they are all hardcoded as requirement but i don't want that to be hardcoded.
Also i am using a django forms  to display this.


How can i design this form field as well in models or What should be the type of this field both in models and forms such that weekdays remain dynamic(i can simply generate them from loop) and the user can fill the time  and when he hits submit it will get saved.


Thanks in advance.
