-------- Original Message -------- Ämne: Re: [Zope-dev] DateTime formatting with strftime: patch Datum: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 16:56:52 +0100 Från: Steve Alexander <steve@cat-box.net> Till: zope-dev@zope.org Referenser: <397C3F55.8C7D1251@cat-box.net> This is now in the Collector, as bug number 1457. http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector/1457/view Incidentally, http://classic.zope.org:8080/Collector/1409/view is another patch to the same problem. However, that patch doesn't address the root of the problem, which is that DateTime instances are associated with a particular timezone, and users expect all formatting to occur with respect to that particular timezone. The fix in collector #1409 makes all strftime formatting happen in the local timezone of the Zope installation, not the timezone given in the particular DateTime instance being formatted.

Here's a working patch to make formatting of a DateTime instance work as generally expected, when you use
<dtml-var "_.DateTime()" fmt="%d %G %z">
or whatever.
It could be made more efficient by compiling the two regex (regexes? regexen? regular expressions :-) ) into class attributes.
There's a problem with this optimisation -- see my other posting to zope-dev today. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
