Patch: Customizing Date(Time)Field displays

[Manuzhai]

In the admin interface, dates are displayed as July 11, 2005, 8:39 p.m., while I'd at the least prefer to have a 24-hour format for the time. I think there should be options DATE_FORMAT, TIME_FORMAT and DATETIME_FORMAT which take care of the default formatting for these fields.

Setting the default datetime-formatting

Ahh, sorry, that second patch also contains my other changes to the global_settings. Oh well, you get my drift, it's quite a trivial patch anyway.

Please comment on this?

(In [1115]) Fixed #109 -- Created DATE_FORMAT, DATETIME_FORMAT and TIME_FORMAT settings.

Please keep in mind that these need to be translateable - the problem is, they depend on the language the user chooses, not on some base setting. That's why I changed the code in i18n to have date:_("DATE_WITH_TIME_FULL") in there, so that the actual date format was pulled from the .po (and I added the english default format to the en-.po and the d.m.y format to all other languages).

Any progress with this? When DATE_FORMAT, DATETIME_FORMAT and TIME_FORMAT will be translatable?

You could try to use gettext_lazy('DATE_TIME_FULL') (or any other technical message IDs for which you need to put in translations into the translation file) on them. gettext_lazy constructs a translation promise that is realized (= translated) when the value is used as a string. This works quite often automatically.

I use the same technology for translating model names and field names. If that works, please update the ticket so I know that I can do the needed work. I am a bit out-of-the-loop due to my hotel not having net access, but will be able to check into this after the weekend.

(In [1208]) fixes #109 - added translation possibilities for date and time formats (and updated translation files for the new message IDs)
