Yes, I'm a zope newbie, but could someone enlighten me on the=20
following senario.
I use the following dtml to get a date time field....
<dtml-var ZopeTime>
<input type=3D'hidden' name=3D'dateposted' value=3D'<dtml-var ZopeTime=20
fmt=3D"%Y%m%d%H%M%S">' size=3D14>
... and it produces the following html source....
2000/03/22 15:34:29.4534 Us/Central
<input type=3D'hidden' name=3D'dateposted' value=3D'20000322213429' size=
=3D14>
As you can see, the plain ZopeTime products the proper out put of 3:34=20
(15:34) where the formated one to bring it down to what I want to=20
store in the system is showing 9:34 (2134) which is the time zone=20
offset of the time zone I am in (CST6CDT). Has anyone seen this=20
before or is there a known cause/fix? I looked on the zope site and=20
the archives for this list, but didn't find anything on it. I saw a=20
lot of hits on Google for ZopeTime about not returning proper values=20
and other 'weirdness'.
Any help would be appreciated.
