[Zope] How to customize my date?

[Arno Gross]

Is 'lastmodify' coming from a RDBMS? If so,
you can/should customize your date format in your
SELECT statement. Or you can try to use the
DateTime modul and pass your 'lastmodify' and
then you can use the fmt attribute.
Try this:
<dtml-var "_.DateTime(lastmodify)" fmt="%d.%m.%y">
