Year dropdown in Django admin

[grimmus]

Hi,

I have a car model that contains many fields including a 'year' field. I need the dropdown for this field to display the current year as the first option and also display the previous 25 years as individual options.

I was thinking i could create a list object and then populate the list based on the current year and work my way back to 25 years earlier.

I am not sure how to implement this so it would work in the Django admin area.

Could someone please point me in the right direction with this ?

Thank you in advance.

I was in the same situation as you and I found this solution...
in your models.py:

import datetime
YEAR_CHOICES = []
for r in range(1980, (datetime.datetime.now().year+1)):
    YEAR_CHOICES.append((r,r))

so, your field can now use YEAR_CHOICES:

year = models.IntegerField(_('year'), max_length=4, choices=YEAR_CHOICES, default=datetime.datetime.now().year)
