Wrong URL in advanced search results

[fschulze]

It seems like the query part for the creation date in the url is wrong, because I get the following error when trying to click a link in the batching bar.

Error Type SyntaxError Error Value [DateTime('1970/02/01')]

This is probably just an issue with a wrong :record or something.

Actually it's a pretty nasty problem. The Date query given as a record {'query':Date, 'range':'min'} actually requires a list as the 'query' parameter (pass it a date and you get "argument 2 to map() must support iteration" from DateIndex. So you need to pass created:record:list:date=date, which is perfectly valid and works as expected. However, ZTUtils.make_query is a bit naive and assumes that the elements of a record are simple types and ends up marshalling the list as a string. We could go back to using highly the deprecated created_usage style query I guess.

Issue and patch filed with zope  http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1871 ideas for workarounds gladly accepted.

Went back to using _usage. The patch is now in zope svn but we probably won't have releases any time soon. The _usage thing isn't so bad because queryCatalog automatically converts them to proper record queries anyway.
