[Zope] Using French date format

[Alexandre Ratti]

Hello,


I want to use French date formats. Here is what I have understood so far 
about international date formats. If anything is wrong, please say so. I 
use Zope 2.0.1.

I'll write up an howto to summarize the story.


1) OK, if I want to enter the edit time for an objet, I just enter

   <dtml-var bobobase_modification_time>

The result is a long time stamp in GMT format. Eg. :

   1999/10/22 13:01:33.059 GMT+1

2) If I want another format, I can use C-style format strings. Eg. :

   <dtml-var bobobase_modification_time fmt="%d/%m/%Y - %H:%M">

I get the following results : "22/10/1999 - 11:01". Fine, but it's two 
hours off because it is GMT based.

I can also use :
	
   <dtml-var "bobobase_modification_time().strftime('%d/%m/%Y - %H:%M')">

Same result.

3) Someone suggested using the "toZone('myTimeZone')" method. Eg.:

   <dtml-var 
"bobobase_modification_time().toZone('US/Indiana-Starke').strftime('%d/%m/%Y 
  - %H:%M')">
