[Zope] DateTime inside an in loop

[Neil Burnett]

Garry

My live example uses the variable LastModified, not adate. I tried to
simplify the dtml example so it would be clearer. The ZSQLMethod works fine
and I can put the actual date returned into the DateTime function and it
works.

Heres my dtml:


<dtml-in expr="get_log(PeopleID=9999)">
<dtml-var expr="_.DateTime(LastModified).strftime('%d-%b')">
</dtml-in>

I have tried many variations:
<dtml-var expr="_.DateTime('LastModified').strftime('%d-%b')">
<dtml-var expr="_.DateTime(['LastModified']).strftime('%d-%b')">
<dtml-var expr="_.DateTime(_['LastModified']).strftime('%d-%b')">
<dtml-var
expr="_.DateTime(['sequence-var-LastModified']).strftime('%d-%b')">
<dtml-var
expr="_.DateTime(_['sequence-var-LastModified']).strftime('%d-%b')">

All with slightly different failures.

Thanks for looking

Neil
