European date input in Django Admin

Question

Django has a DATE_FORMAT and a DATE_TIME_FORMAT options that allow us to choose which format to use when viewing dates, but doesn\'t apparently let me change the input forma

Answer 1

just beware not to write it as a string but as a tuple. eg:

DATE_INPUT_FORMATS = ('%d.%m.%Y',) 

if you want to have only one valid way of writing date in a form.
