How to change the default Django date template format

0 votes
I have dates in ISO 8601 format in the database, %Y-%m-%d. However, when the date is passed on to the template, it comes out as something like Oct. 16, 2011.

Is there a way that I can manipulate the format to whatever I want?

Hello @kartik,

Within your template, you can use Django's date filter. E.g.:

<p>Birthday: {{ birthday|date:"M d, Y" }}</p>

Gives:

Birthday: Mar 05, 1998

hope this helps!!
Thank you!!
