django : using admin datepicker

Question

I\'m trying to use the admin datepicker in my own django forms.

Roughly following the discussion here : http://www.mail-archive.com/django-users@googlegroups.com/msg

No, it's not a bug.

It's trying to call the gettext() internationalization function in js. You can do js internationalization much like you do it in python code or templates, it's only a less known feature.

If you don't use js internationalization in your project you can just put.

in your top template so the js interpreter doesn't choke.

This is a hacky way to solve it I know.

Edit:

Or you can include the exact jsi18n js django admin references to get it working even with other languages. I don't know which one it is.

This was posted on django-users today:

Maybe it was you, anyway, just in case.
