db.bookings.start_date.default = ('%s-%s-%s') % (start_day, start_month, start_year)

[Stefan van den Eertwegh]

Hi all,

I have the following code:

db.bookings.start_date.default = "%s-%s-%s" % (start_day, start_month, start_year)

The problem is that when i uncomment this line above, i get the following error:

'str' object has no attribute 'year'

This is de database model:

Field('start_date', 'date', default=request.now, requires=[IS_DATE(format=('%d-%m-%Y')), IS_NOT_EMPTY()]),

Field('end_date', 'date', default=request.now, requires=[IS_DATE(format=('%d-%m-%Y')), IS_NOT_EMPTY()]),

I still not get what it could be.

I hope to hear from any of you soon!

Best regards,

Stefan van den Eertwegh

Try the following:

import datetime
db.bookings.start_date.default = datetime.date(start_year, start_month, start_day)

Since start_date is the 'date' datatype, it's expecting a python datetime object.

I have rewrited the code to a hidden input with the default value start_date.

Thanks for you're response!
