Answer 1

Look at the last line:

In

/var/www/mywesbite/src/mywebsite/../mywesbite/shop/models.py

in the __unicode__ method you have a line:

return ", ".join((str(self.account),self.date.strftime("%b. %d, %Y, %H:%M %p")))

and that self don't know about the date attribute. Maybe there is none defined. If you're unsure, change this particular return statement to return something meaningless but correct for the moment and see, if it was the only error.

Answer 2

The significant piece is in the last few lines (remember that the most recent call, ie: the one that cause the error, is always printed last in a stacktrace):

  File "/var/www/mywesbite/src/mywebsite/../mywesbite/shop/models.py", line 1105, in     
  __unicode__
  return ", ".join((str(self.account),self.date.strftime("%b. %d, %Y, %H:%M %p")))
  AttributeError: 'PasswordResetRequest' object has no attribute 'date'

What this means is that, in the file mywebsite/shop/models.py on line 1105 (which is in your def __unicode__(self): method), you are calling self.date.strftime(), but the model has no property called date.

Answer 3

Well the problem is in the unicode method of the PasswordResetRequest model defined in shop/models.py. You try to access self.date on this object and it doesn't have a date attribute.

Maybe if you paste your model I could help more...

Answer 4

there was no reference of date is should of been issued
