Hi Steve, this works on my box: <dtml-call "manage_addProperty('myDate', ZopeTime(), 'date')">. Maybe the problem is that you're passing a string instead of a date value. You can try using DateTime() to convert your date string to a date object. Eg.: <dtml-call "manage_addProperty('myDate', _.DateTime('1999/12/03'), 'date')"> HTH.

When I replace the <dtml-var hbdate> with:

<dtml-call "manage_addProperty('date', hbdate, 'date')">

I get following Zope Error:

Error Type: Invalid Date-Time String Error Value:

In viewing the source of Zope frame I can see the values for the files, but I also see a blank double space before the first value as if the external method is evaluating some extra document that does not produce a value.

What have I done wrong?
