Django models and admin panel

Question

Hi guys I have this model

class Class1(models.Model):
    ....
    ctime = models.FloatField()  # I am storing date in timestamp here
    ....

Is it possible to display ctime field in admin panel not as float but as time field?

Why not declare the model field as DateField, when you are storing a timestamp there? https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#datefield — Sami N, Mar 18 '13 at 16:54
Because if i will declare this field DateField i will not be able store float timestamp here. — vovaminiof, Mar 18 '13 at 16:55

Check Django documentation. You can override default widgets for model fields -

from django.db import models
from django.contrib import admin

# Import our custom widget and our model from where they're defined
from myapp.widgets import RichTextEditorWidget
from myapp.models import MyModel

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    formfield_overrides = {
        models.TextField: {'widget': RichTextEditorWidget},
    }

Or, for a single model, as described in this answer -

class StopAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
  class Meta:
    model = Stop
    widgets = {
      'approve_ts': ApproveStopWidget(),
    }

class StopAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
  form = StopAdminForm
