Hi

ZOPE newbie alert:

I am trying to get ZOPE to publish dates in UK format. I am fine with getting todays date formatted as required by calling a dtml-var, but the problem is with putting up 'future-static' dates such as the example in the Content Managers Guide, where you want to do something like "This site will go live on..." using 'expected_date' which is a property with type date. This automatically formats 20 June 2000 to 2000/06/20 and I can't figure out how to change it.

Any ideas welcome!

I recall finding http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/CustomDateFormats helpful to sorting this one out. Paul -- The Library, Tyndall Avenue, Univ. of Bristol, Bristol, BS8 1TJ, UK E-mail: paul.browning@bris.ac.uk URL: http://www.bris.ac.uk/
