I'm in the process of working with Zope for the first time as a learning exercise.. So far, I'm rather impressed with the immense potential of what I can see myself doing without a great deal of difficulty.
The 'skeleton' index_html in / that provides a standard look for everything, and so on, and so forth... Its just nice.
Now i'm working on my first form, and am having just a bit of trouble. Perhaps its because I've never ended up using .real. HTTP authentication in any other website I've done :)
I want the form to insert the person's username into the form if they have logged in, otherwise, not enter anything and just print "Unregistered User" on the webpage.
Here's what I'm trying, which simply isn't working :) It prints 'Anonymous User' instead of 'Unregistered User' if my user isn't logging in.
<dtml-if expr="AUTHENTICATED_USER != 'Anonymous User'">
AUTHENTICATED_USER is an object. So you are trying to compare the instance of an object with a string. The AUTHENTICATED_USER object has a method called getUserName that returns the name as a string: <dtml-if expr="AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName() != 'Anonymous User'">
<input type="text" name="From" value="&dtml-AUTHENTICATED_USER;" size="36" maxlength="36"> <dtml-else> Unregistered User </dtml-if>
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help. :)
