django-jalali-date

Jalali Date support for user interface. Easy conversion of DateTimeField to JalaliDateTimeField within the admin site, view and templates.

Dependency

To use this module you need to install jdatetime(and of course you need django) and pytz module which you can install it with easy_install or pip

Version Compatibility

Python

python 3.8 and below is compatible with 0.3.2 and below
python 3.X and above is compatible with 1.0.0 and above

Django

I tested the latest version on some Django versions on python 3.8

django == 4.2
django == 3.2.8
django == 2.2.24

I think it will work properly on other versions as well.

If you plan to use it in Django 1.X, install version 0.3.2

Install

pip install django-jalali-date

Usage

settings.py

don't forget to make sure you've also added jalali_date to your INSTALLED_APPS.
any global settings for a Django Jalali Date are kept in a single configuration dictionary named JALALI_DATE_DEFAULTS
- you can change the default display of dates by override Strftime
- you can use your own date picker by override Static

INSTALLED_APPS = [
	'django_apps',
	
	'jalali_date',
	
	'my_apps',
]

# default settings (optional)
JALALI_DATE_DEFAULTS = {
   # if change it to true then all dates of the list_display will convert to the Jalali.
   'LIST_DISPLAY_AUTO_CONVERT': False,
   'Strftime': {
        'date': '%y/%m/%d',
        'datetime': '%H:%M:%S _ %y/%m/%d',
    },
    'Static': {
        'js': [
            # loading datepicker
            'admin/js/django_jalali.min.js',
            # OR
            # 'admin/jquery.ui.datepicker.jalali/scripts/jquery.ui.core.js',
            # 'admin/jquery.ui.datepicker.jalali/scripts/calendar.js',
            # 'admin/jquery.ui.datepicker.jalali/scripts/jquery.ui.datepicker-cc.js',
            # 'admin/jquery.ui.datepicker.jalali/scripts/jquery.ui.datepicker-cc-fa.js',
            # 'admin/js/main.js',
        ],
        'css': {
            'all': [
                'admin/jquery.ui.datepicker.jalali/themes/base/jquery-ui.min.css',
            ]
        }
    },
}

(Optional) If you want the names of the dates to be displayed in Farsi, please add the following command to the settings.

If you are on windows:

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'fa'

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "Persian_Iran.UTF-8")

If you are on other operating systems:

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'fa'

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "fa_IR.UTF-8")
