The Django administration has a couple of widgets that can be used in an user's form.

This is mentioned on the Django's documentation ( Media and Django Admin) but no practical example is given. Searching the web we find that a lot of people have tried to use them without success, specially the AdminDateWidget that provides a nice popup calendar for choosing the date.

This post show how one can use this widget, and explains why there have been so many missing attemps.

The information here presented is also valid for the AdminTimeWidget. Other widgets may be subject of future posts.
