How come my "date" field doesn't come up in the admin system?
In my admin.py file i have
from django.contrib import admin
from glasses.players.models import *
admin.site.register(Rating)
and the Rating model has a field called "date" which looks like this
date = models.DateTimeField(editable=True, auto_now_add=True)
However within the admin system, the field doesn't show, even though editable is set to True.
Does anyone have any idea?
Can be displayed in Django admin simply by below code in admin.py
@admin.register(model_name)
class model_nameAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ['date']
Above code will display all fields in django admin that are mentioned in 'list_display', no matter the model field is set to 'True' for 'auto_now' attribute
I wanted to create an editable time field that defaults to the current time.
I actually found that the best option was to avoid the auto_now or auto_add_now altogether and simply use the datetime library.
MyTimeField = models.TimeField(default=datetime.now)
The big thing is that you should make it's the variable now instead of a function/getter, otherwise you're going to get a new default value each time you call makemigrations, which will result in generating a bunch of redundant migrations.
