I had a similar problem and your post helped me a lot.

But if I try to output my date (e.g. '2002/12/15 12:45:00') with

<dtml-var dateStart fmt="%d.%m.%Y">
<dtml-var dateStart fmt="%H:%M">

I'm getting the following traceback.

[...]
__traceback_info__: ('dateStart', '2002/12/15 12:45:00',
			 {'fmt': '%d.%m.%Y', '': 'dateStart'})
TypeError: an integer is required

Any Ideas?
