[Zope-DB] DMTL and DateTime or... mxDateTime

[David Wilbur]

hum... i've tried this before and what happens when i do this is i get a 
login prompt put up infront of me... and even if i do login using a 
valid account... it is in a loop of login.

<dtml-var "start_date.year()">

if i cancel the login i get:

Error Type: Unauthorized
Error Value: You are not allowed to access year in this context

and i truly have been disconnected too, since to do anything else at 
this point, i have to relog in.
