Zope Dates
Hello all

Hoping there is a quick fix for this - I'm trying to change how Zope
formats dates. I want dd/mm/yyyy but Zope is forcing yyyy-mm-dd. I've
changed the format in zope.conf to 'international' but this makes no
difference. I know dates can be formatted at the front end (i.e. fmt=)
but it would be really useful to have Zope sort this out for me without
having to do any string formatting. Any ideas?

Thanks
Richard

'international' only affects the format for parsing dates as far as I
can recall. Using strftime() gives you full control over the output
format. Your application should not rely on the default format. If you
need a custom date output format then define it explicitly in your
application.

Re: Zope Dates [ In reply to ]
Thanks Andreas - so there is no way to set a date format at an
intermediate layer so that all dates are rendered a certain way without
string formatting? Am I naive in thinking this could possibly be done at
the db adapter level?
Thanks
