[ilias@…]

the patch enables the dispaly of 'time' and 'changetime' fields (if available), otherwise the behaviour remains the same:

It is identical to the patch suggested by mgood within this thread

See line 140 of this patch

Thanks, though it looks preferable to do that based on type of the column.

...which is not yet defined.

I've 'back-developed' my patches to not affect the ticket api (as suggested by mgood):

http://groups.google.com/group/trac-dev/msg/61c2134c408c1296

So, at this point the field type definition does not exist thus looking for 'datetime' would not work. The suggested patch does the work fine (until the fields api is refactored/extended).

Note that I've checked directly the type of the value: isinstance(value, datetime)

Oh yes, I see (a little bit overworked).

This would be a more elegant generic solution.

Of course it should be prefered.

I've applied the patch and it works fine on the server, so for me it fine if it goes in trunk this way.
