<dtml-var date_posted>
What I want to do is recalculate the date_posted and shift the time back about five hours.
grep through the Squishdot source code and you'll see that date_posted is a method in Posting.py -- it returns a string, so you can't do any manipulations with it out of the box. I have a patch on Squishdot's Sourceforge site (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=502917&group_id=108...) that provides user-defined date formats, among other things. I may get it into a separate CVS branch of Squishdot once I'm done with some other projects. If you needed a one-off solution, you could edit Posting.py and change the date format to whatever you want, or change timezones, etc. If you don't have filesystem access, this probably isn't an option. -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- renfro@tntech.edu
