conversion from django 1.4 to 1.5 errors

i an doing exactly the same Django admin datepicker calendar and clock img and i am suffering with the same problem but it was working perfectly fine with django 1.4 but when i updated it to django 1.5 it is giving me this error

'adminmedia' is not a valid tag library: Template library adminmedia not found, tried django.templatetags.adminmedia,django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.adminmedia,django.contrib.admin.templatetags.adminmedia,django.contrib.humanize.templatetags.adminmedia,jobpost.templatetags.adminmedia,crispy_forms.templatetags.adminmedia,tinymce.templatetags.adminmedia,haystack.templatetags.adminmedia

here is my code:

{% load adminmedia %}


{% load i18n %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %} 
{% block content %}

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/my_admin/jsi18n/"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/admin/js/core.js"></script>
{{ form.media }}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/forms.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/base.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/global.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/widgets.css"/>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/core.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/admin/RelatedObjectLookups.js">      </script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/admin/DateTimeShortcuts.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.__admin_media_prefix__ = "{% filter escapejs %}{% admin_media_prefix %}{%    endfilter %}";
</script>
<script type = “text/javascript” src=”../jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js”></script> 

<script>

by doing this i am showing image of calender widget from /static/admin/img/icon_calender.jpg. but admin media option is deprecated in django version 1.5 or later so then i replace this with static media option and here is the new code:

{% load staticfiles %}

{% load i18n %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %} 
{% block content %}

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/my_admin/jsi18n/"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/admin/js/core.js"></script>
{{ form.media }}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/forms.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/base.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/global.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/widgets.css"/>
<link href="{% static 'admin/css/login.css' %}" rel="stylesheet">

and it look like this:

my calender icon is gone. can anyone tell me whats the alternative of this problem in version 1.5

help will be appreciated

Solution

  • so django 1.5 was giving me nightmare so i resolved my problem by using direct jquery datpicker here is the jquery datepicker

    all i had to do is change the id which is a little bit tricky in django .for example if your date field name is start_date then id will be formtools_start_date . and for this kind of datepicker you don't even need any icon to show.. this helped me i hope this will help those also whoever upgraded their django version.
