[Zope] date-time manipulation

[Marcus Collins]

Hi,

Your code is syntactically correct, but the ZopeTime() function has
sub-second precision. The result of subtracting one date object from another
is a floating-point number of days. Take the integer portion thus:

<dtml-if "_.int(ZopeTime() - created) == 14">
  <p>Time's up!
</dtml-if>

and you've got the number of full days that have elapsed.

There's a wealth of information on DateTime objects in
lib/python/DateTime/DateTime.html

hth,
