Re: How to use MMBase to save files onto the server

[Curtney Jacobs]

I am sorry, it is 4:00am and I am not thinking to straight. I was just trying 
to get MMBase context so I can dynamically build a URL path. I read the API 
and I am using MMBaseConetxt.getHTMLRoot(). It is working now. 

However, I do have another question. I am retrieving a node attrribute which 
is an eventtime, however the date does not match what is stored in the 
database. The following is a partial listing of my builder

<gui>
 
            <guiname xml:lang="en">publication date</guiname>
 
            <guitype>eventtime</guitype>
 
         </gui>
 
         <!-- editor related -->
 
         <editor>
 
            <positions>
 
               <!-- position in the input area of the editor -->
 
               <input>11</input>
 
                                                                                
...skipping 22 lines
            <type key="false" notnull="false" state="persistent">LONG</type>
 
         </db>
 
      </field>

I am doing something like the following in my code:

node.getStringValue ("publication_date");

However, the result does not match what I am seeing in the GUI.

Any suggestions?
