Hello- if I want to use bobobase_modification_time to tell me when another object has been updated, how would I format it?
For instance, in a index_html DTML document I want to list the last update of other objects in the same folder (other DTML documents and methods). I can't get bobobase to reference _other_ objects.
Is this possible?
In a word, yes. :-) Here's how I do it on my site. This line tells me when a particular object (a file object as it turns out) was last updated: <dtml-var "_['Bookmark.htm'].bobobase_modification_time()" fmt=Day>, <dtml-var "_['Bookmark.htm'].bobobase_modification_time()" fmt=pCommon> The output looks like (for example): Tuesday, Mar. 7, 2000 11:35am The extra '_' business in my dtml-var tag is necessary because my file object has a '.' in its name. I believe that <dtml-var "spamobject.bobobase_modification_time()" fmt=Day> should do it if you don't have a '.'
