First, thanks for the help these last several days. I'm glad to report that I have a useful Zope site up and running that is the envy of the law firm. Now its time to get a little fancy. Unfortunately, after having read the DTML Reference, and the Zope Quick Reference, I still haven't been able to figure out how to get today's date into a dtml-var. Case in point: I want to put a table of dates and hyperlinks. If the day has already passed, I want to shade the table cell (<td bgcolor="gray">). In this case, the object has a date property called event_date. <table> <tr> <dtml-if expr="event_date < DateTime()"> <td bgcolor="gray"> <dtml-else> <td bgcolor="white"> </dtml-if> </td> </table> The above code gives me a NameError. Another example would be to simply get the integer value of the year so that it can be included in a copyright statement. E.g., Copyright © <dtml-var Year()>, All rights reserved. Unfortunately, this doesn't work either. Can someone point me in the right direction?
