Re: Initializing DateTimeField in django forms.

Hi.

If you want to display only date why aren't you doing it in template rather than trying to make form to just display value.

That did the job.But I would like to get rid of the 'Field' type view that surrounds the date. As I only want to display the date.
Is there a way to do it in the form itself or any way to change it in the templates?

Hi,

I am building a simple django application for user feedback. And I have created a form for that purpose.

Here is the snippet:

# my_app/forms.py

from django import forms
import datetime
class UserQueryForm(forms.Form):
    date = forms.DateField(initial=datetime.date.today) # need help
    username = forms.CharField(label='Username:', max_length=15)
    mobilenos = forms.CharField(max_length=10, label='Mobile Nos')

And here is my template:

<!--my_app/templates/my_app/form.html-->
<form action="" method="POST">
    {% csrf_token %}
    <h1>Date:</h1>
    {{ form.date }}
    {{ form.username.label}}
    {{ form.username }}
    <br />
    {{ form.mobilenos.label}}
    {{ form.mobilenos}}
    <br />
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
  </form>

I would like to initialize the date so that it is automatically set to today's date when the page loads.
All suggestions are welcomed.

Regards,

Rajkumar
