[Zope] Further info about ZopeTime() not returning correct values

[Alexandre Ratti]

Hello Bill,


Try this:

<dtml-with ZopeTime>
    <dtml-var "'%s/%s/%i - %s' % (dd(), mm(), year(),
      TimeMinutes())">
</dtml-with>

If this code returns the correct time, see this document:

<http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/CustomDateFormats>

C-style time formats such as %b are GMT-based. This may be the problem, 
though I'm not sure.


Alexandre
