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

[Eric Kamm]

David,

Here's a DTML Method using the year method of a DateTime object:

    <dtml-var standard_html_header>
    <dtml-var "_.DateTime().year()">
    <dtml-var standard_html_footer>

I can access this as "Anonymous User" with no trouble.  Are you sure
the variable you are working with is a DateTime object?  Without any
more details, I can't think of what is wrong except that your role
does not have the permission which allows access to the year method
on the object in question.

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.
