In Django humanize naturalday filter, you could not get the time part since a programming issue, If you apply it like: {% load humanize %} {{ response.date_submitted|naturalday:"Y/n/j H:i" }}

You can get 'today', 'yesterday', 'tomorrow' or empty, but you can not get such as '2009/9/10 11:56'

So I change it like above code. Now you can get 'today', 'yesterday', 'tomorrow' or '2009/9/10 11:56'
