Found my way to do it too and still using the convenient 'form.as_p' function. Will blog about it later here when I finish up with this app.

I use something like this (after adding in the JS) to create a form with a date field that works like the admin:

from django import forms
from django.contrib.admin import widgets
class FooForm(forms.Form):
bar = forms.DateField(widget=widgets.AdminDateWidget)

Having a quick look at the code you need to add the following JS to the page;

ADMIN_ROOT/js/admin/RelatedObjectLookups.js
ADMIN_ROOT/js/calendar.js
ADMIN_ROOT/js/admin/DateTimeShortcuts.js

When you add DateTimeShortcuts.js it initilizes itself. It looks for input elements with classname of vTimeField or vDateField and stores them.

Then look at the href of the <a> surrounding the calendar icon;

javascript:DateTimeShortcuts.openCalendar(0)

The number there relates to the number of the input field. So if you only ever have one on your page it will be 0, the second one will be 1 etc.

I think thats all you need but I've not tested it ;) Let me know if it works
