2.3.0 bug in fmt=?

Nevermind. As usual, as soon as you post you figure it out. The value of the var was a string and not a float... Sorry for wasting bandwidth. Although, come to think of it, should it throw an error rather than silently eating the value? --RDM

<dtml-var somevar fmt=dollars-and-cents> produces a blank, no matter what the value of somevar. I could swear this works in other versions of zope, but it seems like an awfully fundamental bug to have slipped through the 2.3.0 release process. Can anyone tell me what stupid thing I'm doing wrong? --RDM

Changing Ownership
by Andy McKay 01 Feb '01

I have a folder inside a user_info_folder that allows users to store data (these fabled session snapshots of earlier posts). When I create it I want to set the Ownership of that folder to the user. Since a user is created by someone else (only admin can create users), the admin person is becoming the owner. Simple I thought, in python when the object is created, set the ownership obj.changeOwnership(user) where user is: user = self.acl_users.getUser(id) The error I get back is Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: aq_inner ... File d:\Zope23\lib\python\AccessControl\Owned.py, line 168, in changeOwnership (Object: Traversable) File d:\Zope23\lib\python\AccessControl\Owned.py, line 302, in ownerInfo AttributeError: (see above) It would seem ownerInfo is looking for the User context to find the path to the object. Anyway the end result is I can't seem to set the owner. Is there a simpler way to do this. Is getUser actually returning the wrong thing? Cheers. -- Andy McKay.
