Hi everyone,
I would *really* appreciate some advice about a problem with a ZClass I
created. This product is a Job Board that our H.R. department can use to
post openings and the public can view. I began by looking at the very nice
"Build a Searchable Job Board" How-To at
http://www.zope.org/Members/mukhsein/job_board_howto and combined that with
the ZClass approach put forward in the Beehive ZClass documentation.
The problem lies in adding an instance of the job board ZClass at which
point Zope reports an "Invalid Date-Time String". At the risk of providing
too much information, I'm going to include some of the relevant methods and
the traceback. I would love it if someone could spot my error. (Why do I
have this feeling that it's something really simple and that I'm an even
larger moron than my friends and acquaintances assume me to be? :-)
Here the traceback:
