The date is a complex object not a string. Zope provides many ways to format it. Here is one:
<dtml-var "ZopeTime()" fmt=%Y/%m/%d>
I like this fmt thing... I tried a few things. My actual problem now is: I've got a form, which returns a date string in the form dd.mm.YYYY via REQUEST. some piece of code, still in use: <dtml-with "NewsItem.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)"> <dtml-call "propertysheets.Attribute.manage_editProperties(REQUEST)"> Before this last line I have to change my dd.mm.YYYY into Zope's YYYY/mm/dd. i. e. s. th. like <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('datum',?????)"> Of course I could do this by parsing the string and puzzling it newly together, but I think there must be a more elegant to do it, isn't it? I tried to use this fmt thing - didn't of course work because it is for the var tag. I also tried s. th. like <dtml-let datum="Verfallsdatum" fmt="..."> Didn't work either - of course, I know it can't. But I don't know how to do my task. I looked around in the How To's etc. but didn't find anything. Perhaps you could help me a last time for today. Have a nice weekend. Lars
