I'm quite new to Django Forms, and I'm facing a problem that I cannot solve. I've been googling and reading the docs, but I can't find the place where this is explained. My problem is that I have an Animal <code>Model</code> and a <code>ModelForm</code>: <pre><code>class Animal(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=300) age = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField() race = models.ForeignKey(Race) description = models.TextField() state = models.ForeignKey(State) pub_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) adoption_limit = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True) location = models.ForeignKey(Location) publisher = models.ForeignKey(User) def __unicode__(self): return self.name class AnimalForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Animal </code></pre> I render this info via urls.py, calling this view: <pre><code>@login_required def new_animal(request): if request.method == "POST": form = AnimalForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() return render_to_response('/') else: variables = RequestContext(request, {'e': form.errors}) return render_to_response('web/error.html', variables) else: form = AnimalForm() variables = RequestContext(request, {'form': form}) return render_to_response('web/animal_form.html', variables) </code></pre> It seems that I have an error introducing the <code>adoption_limit</code> field, so the data does not get saved in DB. This is because I just set a date and not a time into the text field displayed by the form. I would like to know how can I do two things: <ol> <li>How can I send the error message to the form again, so that I can add a text next to the field that I have not set correctly? I.e., like the admin does.</li> <li>How can I put the same input type for <code>DateTimeField</code> that I have in the admin interface? (with the Today and Now functions)</li> </ol>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
