The filter is specific to datetime objects and no allowance has been made to convert strings or epoch times. Also no type checking is performed so misuse will result in an error.

To use include the above snippet in a file called templatetags/customfilters.py or append to existing filters file then load:

{% load customfilters %}

in your template, then to use it:

{{ dateobject|adjust:"months=1"|date:"Y/m/d" }}

To push the dateobject forward by a month, or:

{{ dateobject|adjust:"weeks=-1"|date:"Y/m/d" }}

To push the dateobject back a week, or:

{{ dateobject|adjust:"years=1, months=2"|date:"Y/m/d" }}

To push the dateobject forward by a year and 2 months
