Hello,

I'm trying to use the datetime picker widget from the admin widgets.

My form is displaying, but the datetime picker is not. When I check
the error console, I see the message:

Error: gettext is not defined
Source File: http://localhost:8001/media/js/calendar.js
Line: 26

And another in DateTimeShortcuts.

Searching this group I found:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/f0abe54d2d1e0313/3f975ec982c4cacc?lnk=gst&q=gettext#3f975ec982c4cacc

But I'm running the latest update from the trunk.

In my HTML output I see:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/js/core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/js/calendar.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/js/admin/
DateTimeShortcuts.js"></script>

The second two lines are coming from the media property of my form
object, and I inserted the first to quiet another JS error.

I've searched all the JS in my Django check out and I can't find
gettext described there. I turned internationalization off in my
settings file. Any one have any ideas?

The admin templates have this extra line:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../../jsi18n/"></script>
which refers to an actual Django admin view which renders Javascript,
rather than an included JS file. I think if you resolve the path it
ends up as /admin/jsi18n/ - would definitely be worth including that
before your other script tags and see if that helps.

Could you please let us know in a little more detail on how to set the
jsi18n path.
Where is "/admin/jsi18n/" referring to?

Thanks,
Yadu.

You have to do like that :

<script type="text/javascript" src="/jsi18n/"></script>

And define in you urls.py

(r'^jsi18n/$', 'django.views.i18n.javascript_catalog', {'packages':
'django.conf'}),

Let me know if it does works :)

I did it :D

Here are my <head> information :

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/media/css/widgets.css" type="text/
css" />

Here is my Form.Field definition :

dob = forms.DateField(label="Date of birth", input_formats=['%Y-%m-
%d'], widget=forms.DateTimeInput(attrs={'class':'vDateField'}))

And that's it :D
