Django : get entries of today and SplitDateTime Widget ?!

Question

hello

I used : SplitDateTimeWidget to split DateTime field ,

appointment = forms.DateTimeField(widget=forms.SplitDateTimeWidget)

In the template side i manage to use datePicker and TimePicker for each field , using jQuery .

When i try to filter the entries regarding to today date as in this code :

d = datetime.date.today()
entries = Entry.objects.filter(appointment__year=d.year ,appointment__month=d.month ,appointment__day=d.day )

It shows the entries of yesterday 17 aug :( which is really weird !

I Tried to split the Date and Time in the model , i got the same result as well !

Any idea how to fix this ?!

Answer 1

Fix your timezone settings, in settings.py TIME_ZONE

Default: 'America/Chicago'

Some excerpts of useful info from the docs:

A string representing the time zone for this installation. See available choices.

(...)

Note that this is the time zone to which Django will convert all dates/times -- not necessarily the timezone of the server.

(...)

Django cannot reliably use alternate time zones in a Windows environment. If you're running Django on Windows, this variable must be set to match the system timezone.
