To answer your question, bobobase_modification_time() is a function. So just referring to "bobobase_modification_time" will get you the function instance, not its return value. Try:: <!--#if "(bobobase_modification_time() + 60) > ZopeTime()"--> -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "QED?" said Russell. "It's Latin," said Morgan.

Its acting really weird. <!--#var "bobobase_modification_time.Date()"--> doesn't work (produces an attributeError) but <!--#var bobobase_modification_time fmt=Date--> does.

What I really want to do is <!--#if "(bobobase_modification_time + 60) > ZopeTime()"--> but that causes a type error. Doing ZopeTime(bobobase_modification_time) doesn't work either. I thought bobobase_modification_time was a ZopeTime object. Whats the story?
