Serge Spaolonzi Serge Spaolonzi "Add a new field option for localization in Model Fields in order to simplify the process of localization. It happens that activating the localization of a field in the Admin site from a model is a complex task now. Instead it can be done easily using only a parameter in the Model declaration, in order to archive this I had to modify three lines in the file django.db.models.fields.__init__.py '''Example:''' Expected result localization of a decimal field in a model according to the THOUSAND_SEPARATOR setting. '''Currently it is done this way''' {{{ import django class LocalizedModelForm(django.forms.ModelForm): def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs): new_class = super(LocalizedModelForm, cls).__new__(cls, *args, **kwargs) for field in new_class.base_fields.values(): if isinstance(field, django.forms.DecimalField): field.localize = True field.widget.is_localized = True return new_class class FooForm(LocalizedModelForm): class Meta: model = Foo django.admin.site.register(Foo, form=FooForm) }}} '''After improvement it can be done easily''' {{{ class Foo(models.Model) price = models.DecimalField(verbose_name='Price', max_digits=20, decimal_places=2, localize=True) }}} I have the patched code in my Github fork, I will update this ticket with the link to my github code."
