[Zope] Formulator - TALES problem

[Derek S. Wilson]

I don't know if this will help you or not, but here's what I had to do
to get my form controls working with the date...

<dtml-var "_.DateTime().mm()">/<dtml-var "_.DateTime().dd()">/<dtml-var
"_.DateTime().year()">

...of course you can swap around the mm/dd/year as appropriate.

Thanks,
Derek Wilson

Subject: [Zope] Formulator - TALES problem

Hello,

I tried to set the End Datetime for an datetime Formulator object to
the current time.  I uses TALES and started with

     python: form.DateTime()

This failed with

     Error Type: AttributeError
     Error Value: DateTime

Now I created a Python script named 'jetzt' which just does

     return DateTime()  and alternatively I tried
     return str(DateTime())

moreover I tried several different formats.  The error.log of Test
method of the Formulator object was always like:

Traceback (innermost last):

Any hint which kind of value I have to return as a valid TALES?

Kind regards

          Andreas.
