Re: [Zope-dev] Want to test if User Equal to a Property

18 Mar 1999

      Yes Gabe, my dents are healing now.  To evaluate the page based on login
I use this code:

<!--#if expr=_['owner']==AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()"-->
  <!--#var foo-->
<!--#else-->
  <!--#var bar-->
<!--#/if-->

Provided the parent folder or any aquirable folder has a property named
'owner'  which stands for the peron you want to "own" the document, it
will evaluate just fine.

Hope that helps,

I would expect that you need the single quotes. When you say _[object]
you are looking up the result of object. That is, if object is a
property containing the string 'test' then _[object] is identical to
_['test']. If you have a property "object" containing the string 'owner'
then you need to use _['object'] to evaluate to 'owner'. That is,
_['object']=='owner', while _[object]==_['owner'].
Good luck.

Zopsters,
I am attempting to tailor the way information gets viewed based
on a
        person's login.  When the user get's to the page described by
the
        following code, I would like the page to look one way if the
'owner'
        property in the parent folder is equal to the user, and look the
other
        way if they are not equal.  The following code makes sense, but
does not
        work.
<!--#var standard_html_header-->
        <!--#if expr="AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()==_[owner]"-->
          <!--#var candidate_edit-->
        <!--#else-->
          <!--#var candidate_noedit-->
        <!--#/if-->
        <!--#var standard_html_footer-->
The _[owner] property is stored as a string.  And
        AUTHERNTICAED_USER.getUserName() returns a string if I'm not
mistaken.
        The look-up for _[owner] without single quotes is because I'm
not
        looking up an object, but a property, right? The document is a
DTML
        Method.  Do I have to reference the Parent in the lookup?
All the best,
