Hello all,
I'm trying to use the now template tag <
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/templates/builtins/#now >
with the predefined format DATE_FORMAT and the now tag seems to be
processing the predefined format as a custom format.
I tried...
{% now "DATE_FORMAT" %}
...and get back...

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
I'm using Django 1.2.x, have USE_I18N and USE_L10N set to True, and
LANGUAGE_CODE is 'en-us' in settings.py.
Toodle-loooooooo

This is very bizarre. Obviously, what's happening is that the string "DATE_FORMAT" is being interpreted as a literal date format, instead of a reference to your locale's actual date string.
What's even more bizarre is that it appears that the documentation is flat-out wrong: the "now" tag does not take the "DATE_FORMAT" parameter, like the "date" filter does. No idea why, or why no-one's noticed it until now. I've confirmed that this is the case in 1.2.4, and the code hasn't changed in trunk. It would be worth raising a ticket for this.

Hey Daniel,
I thought things were off somewhere. Just seeing if it was me
first! :-) I looked at the code for Django v1.2.4 and couldn't see
any signs that the now template tag and friends were even checking for
the predefined formats.

Thank you. I am aware of how to use the custom format. What I am
trying to do is use the predefined formats DATE_FORMAT,
DATETIME_FORMAT, SHORT_DATE_FORMAT or SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT as
specifically mentioned in the docs for the now template tag <
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#now >.
Toodle-loooooooo..........

You can take a look at the table with the custom datefilters:

Er... blush... I had a go at this myself last night, and have already raised a ticket. I'll mark yours as a duplicate (our fixes were pretty much the same). Sorry about that.
