This module gives you a DateField same as Django's DateField but you can get and query data based on Jalali Date

• .jdatetime -- easy_install jdatetime
• .Django -- easy_install django

$ easy_install django_jalali

1. Run :

   $ django-admin.py startproject jalali_test
   

2. Start your app :

   $ python manage.py startapp foo
   

3. Edit settings.py and add django_jalali and your foo to your INSTALLED_APPS (also config DATABASES setting)

   django_jalali should be added before your apps in order to work properly

4. Edit foo/models.py

   from django.db import models                                                                                                                          
   from django_jalali.db import models as jmodels
   
   class Bar(models.Model):
       objects = jmodels.jManager()
       name =  models.CharField(max_length=200)
       date =  jmodels.jDateField()
       def __str__(self):
           return "%s, %s"%(self.name, self.date)
   class BarTime(models.Model):
       objects = jmodels.jManager()
       name =  models.CharField(max_length=200)
       datetime = jmodels.jDateTimeField()
       def __str__(self):
           return "%s, %s" %(self.name, self.datetime)

5. Run

   $ python manage.py syncdb
   

6. Test it

   $ python manage.py shell

   >>> from foo.models import Bar
   >>> import jdatetime
   >>> today = jdatetime.date(1390, 5, 12)
   >>> mybar = Bar(name="foo", date=today)
   >>> mybar.save()
   >>> mybar.date
   jdatetime.date(1390, 5, 12)
   >>> Bar.objects.filter(date=today)
   [<Bar: foo, 1390-05-12>]
   >>> Bar.objects.filter(date__gte="1390-5-12")
   [<Bar: foo, 1390-05-12>]
   >>> Bar.objects.filter(date='1363-08-01')
   []
   >>> from foo.models import BarTime
   >>> BarTime(name="Bar Time now", datetime=jdatetime.datetime(1380,8,2,12,12,12)).save()
   >>> BarTime.objects.filter(datetime__lt= jdatetime.datetime(1380,8,2,12,12,12 ))
   []
   >>> BarTime.objects.filter(datetime__lte= jdatetime.datetime(1380,8,2,12,12,12 ))
   [<BarTime: Bar Time now, 1380-08-0212:12:12>]
   >>> BarTime.objects.filter(datetime__gt='1380-08-02')
   [<BarTime: Bar Time now, 1380-08-0212:12:12>]
   >>> BarTime.objects.filter(datetime__gt=d)
   []
   >>> BarTime.objects.filter(datetime__year=1380)
   [<BarTime: Bar Time now, 1380-08-0212:12:12>]

1. You can use jformat filter to format your dates in templates:

   {% load jformat %}
   {{ my_date|jformat }} {# default formatting #}
   {{ my_date|jformat:"%A %d %B %Y %H:%M" }} {# specific formatting #}
   

1. Create foo/admin.py

   from foo.models import Bar,BarTime
   from django.contrib import admin
   import django_jalali.admin.filterspecs #you need to import this for adding filter in admin interface
   import django_jalali.admin as jadmin #you need import this for adding jalali calander widget
   
   class BarAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
       list_filter = ['date']
   
   admin.site.register(Bar, BarAdmin)
   
   class BarTimeAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
       list_filter = ['datetime']
   
   admin.site.register(BarTime, BarTimeAdmin)

2. Config admin interface and fire up your django and enjoy using jalali date !
