I use a wrapper sql method called UserSettings. Any calls to data are wrapped in a call to UserSettings eg. <dtml-in UserSettings> ... </dtml-in> UserSettings SQL is : "select * from online where username=<dtml-sqlvar "_.str(AUTHENTICATED_USER)" type=string>" The online table has columns for data (user name , etc) as text and memos and permissions (is_super, edit_media...) as logicals (True/False) I use the returned information to decide whether an item is displayed or how it is displayed. __________________________________________________________________ Jim Sanford .
