Using the fancy date/time widget with newforms

[Dave]

Hey All,

Is there a simple way to re-create the fancy admin date/time widget
(with the 'Today'/'Now' buttons and the pop-up calendar) with
newforms?
I can see how to do it by creating a custom widget, but I thought
perhaps there was an easier way.

Thoughts?

A custom widget would be the correct approach. In fact, the widget has
already been written - it is in the newforms-admin branch in
django.contrib.admin.widgets as AdminDateWidget and AdminTimeWidget.

These admin widgets won't be directly usable in a trunk-based project
- they make use of Media defintions, which have been added in the
newforms-admin branch. However, you should be able to use them to give
you ideas on how a custom date widget should be written.

Yours,
