Use DateTime()
Thanks for your suggestion, but it didn't work. I tried: <dtml-let old_date=DateTime(date_posted) new_date="old_date - 0.25"> </dtml-let> And again, the server returned an error, although this time for the DateTime issue. Any other suggestions? Ron
It has all kinds of options you can use to offset and perform calculations on time objects.

My users are annoyed with the time shift of postings on a Squishdot site.
The
users are in the U.S. and the server is in the Netherlands (FreeZope.org, a truly wonderful thing). The DTML code in Squishdot that displays the date appears to be a date field in the posting object. E.g., the code is:
<dtml-var date_posted>
What I want to do is recalculate the date_posted and shift the time back about five hours.
I tried:
<dtml-let old_date=date_posted
new_date="old_date - 0.25"> <dtml-var new_date> </dtml-let>
But the server returned an error regarding the use of the minus sign. Does anyone have any hints?
Thanks in advance,
Ron
