Timestamp

#1 by otree

Hi all, 

I would like to store the date and time (hour, minutes and seconds) in certain pages. 
I use the code below and like this I can store the date and time in float format. 
How can I store the date and time in actual date and time format (string variable)?

This is my code: 

In models: 
currentTime = models.FloatField()

In html:
<input type="hidden" name="currentTime" id="id_currentTime"/>

<script>
   function record_current_time(){
        var current_time = new Date();
        current_time = current_time.getTime()
        document.getElementById("id_currentTime").setAttribute("value", current_time)
}
    window.onload = function() {
    record_current_time();
    }
</script>

Thanks so much in advance for your help! :)

Hey,
simply use a StringField instead of a FloatField ;)
