Hi all, as a complete newby to Zope and Phyton (but with some background in (web) programming (-;) I spent the last week developing (to my great satisfaction and (Z)hope) my first Zope apps; it is up&running but I got stucked in a problem, that I am sure is a trivial one for you out there. I went through the docs (Zope, Phyton, FAQs, ZopeBook, HowTos, comments in phyton sources, you name it !!), I learned a lot, but the problem is still a problem (at least for me). Here is my Zope.problem.present: I want to use a date property to store a user entered date into a ZClass property; the date must be entered in "%d/%m/%&y" format (I am from Europe (-;)). Simple, isn't ? The idea was: 1. go to the management GUI and add a my_date property to the ZClass 2. use a format string as the value for the property 3. use name="mydate:date" in the relevant form 4. let Zope do the conversion ... The reality is: I cannot even accomplish step 2! Whatever I enter in the value field for the property for the ZClass (apart from an actual date which is readly converted in yyyy/mm/dd format), Zope complains about an 'Invalid Date-Time String'. For the time beeing, I can live with a string property and maybe some client-side Jscript, but I know it must be brain-dead simple... ... so, please, any pointer in the right direction would be _deeply_ appreciated. Thanks in advance, --peppo PS: I am really impressed about Zope/Phyton (or Phyton/Zope ...?)
