Hi! I've discovered after some time fooling around, that the following works to generate a european date format: <dtml-with ZopeTime><dtml-var %d.%m.%Y></dtml-with> What I'm curious about is, that <dtml-var "_.getattr(ZopeTime,'%d.%m.%Y')"> generates an AttributeError. Now I'm wondering what magic dtml-with is using ;) Andreas -- Andreas Kostyrka | andreas@mtg.co.at phone: +54/1/7070750 | phone: +43/676/4091256 MTG Handelsges.m.b.H. | fax: +43/1/7065299 Raiffeisenstr. 16/9 | 2320 Zwoelfaxing AUSTRIA
