Show 'AM/PM' for Datetime edit

[Jim Baack]

I'm sure its easy - but not finding it. I need to show AM/PM - I see it is off by default in the Datetime widget. How do I set it on? Thanks.    Jim

Maybe this has improved, but I believe that this needs some
configurability in registry and control panel. An ugly hack, but you
can work around this by monkey-patching this per-install in a policy
product, like so:

We should at least make this do what the Archetypes and formlib widgets
do to arrive at a more reasonable default:

portal_state = getMultiAdapter((context, self.request),
name=u'plone_portal_state')
dates = portal_state.locale().dates
timepattern = dates.getFormatter('time').getPattern()
if 'a' in timepattern:
use_ampm = True
