I'm trying to change DateTime format for all date time objects in my project. I want to format :
21-06-2021 14:02:12
My settings
DATETIME_FORMAT = '%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S'
TIME_ZONE = 'Africa/Tunis'
USE_I18N = True
USE_L10N = False
USE_TZ = True
Result:
%21-%06-%2021 %14:%Jun:%st
The DATETIME_FORMAT setting [Django-doc] works with the formatting specifications like PHP does that.
So as format, you should use:
DATETIME_FORMAT = 'd-m-Y H:i:s'Note that the formatting is slightly different [PHP datetime specs]. PHP uses i for the minutes; and a lowercase s for the seconds:
| format character | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| … | … | … |
| i | Minutes with leading zeros | 00 to 59 |
| s | Seconds with leading zeros | 00 through 59 |
| … | … | … |
The Django documentation also has the format characters listed as @AbdulAzizBarkat says.
