Django: how to change the choices of AdminTimeWidget

Question

The AdminTimeWidget rendered in admin for a DateTimeField displays an icon of a clock and when you click you have the choice between: \"Now Midnigh

Answer 1

Overriding JS by DateTimeShortcuts.overrideTimeOptions function works only with one form ( bug: the change of time in child model affects parent model, so you can't change timefield in child model form by this widget)

If you want use custom time options with inlines:

in /static/admin/js/admin/DateTimeShortcuts.js replace:

quickElement("a", quickElement("li", time_list, ""), gettext("Now"), "href",    "javascript:DateTimeShortcuts.handleClockQuicklink(" + num + ", new Date().strftime('" + time_format + "'));");
quickElement("a", quickElement("li", time_list, ""), gettext("Midnight"), "href", "javascript:DateTimeShortcuts.handleClockQuicklink(" + num + ", new Date(1970,1,1,0,0,0,0).strftime('" + time_format + "'));");
quickElement("a", quickElement("li", time_list, ""), gettext("6 a.m."), "href", "javascript:DateTimeShortcuts.handleClockQuicklink(" + num + ", new Date(1970,1,1,6,0,0,0).strftime('" + time_format + "'));");
quickElement("a", quickElement("li", time_list, ""), gettext("Noon"), "href", "javascript:DateTimeShortcuts.handleClockQuicklink(" + num + ", new Date(1970,1,1,12,0,0,0).strftime('" + time_format + "'));");

by:

for(j=6;j<=23;j++){
    quickElement("a", quickElement("li", time_list, ""), j+":00", "href", "javascript:DateTimeShortcuts.handleClockQuicklink(" + num + ", new Date(1970,1,1," + j + ",0,0,0).strftime('" + time_format + "'));");
}
