Very nice idea. But I keep having the same problem with the method
FormatDate and with that line you give above: When I try to use them (for
the method I created a python script and have this DTML: <dtml-var
"FormatDate(date_column, '%d/%m/%Y')"> ), a message box pops up telling me
my permissions are not good enough. I get the chance to re-enter my
authorization, but it doesn't work. Although I have a "Manager" account and
the Manager role has all permissions that is has by default (seems like
that's actually all there are, apart from "Take possession"), I get an
Unauthorized exception sooner or later. What funny kind of additional
permission setting is needed for this function?

Thanks a lot, Brad, for your help!
