I suggest adding a touch() method that lets you update the time stamp programmatically. Why? Well, in my case I have a front page which uses an SQL database for news, articles, and various things. Whenever an editor posts an article (through a Zope-built management interface), the front page should be "touched"; otherwise Zope will give the wrong Last-Modified date to the browser, and all users will see is the old
Are you saying that Zope sends the last-modified date to the browser based on the actual modification date of the dtml page? If so, it seems to me that Zope should have it's own time stamp which it uses for its own internal processes, and you should have an option of either using that date for last-modified, or for using a user defined variable. ------- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz
