+-------[ miah34@msn.com ]---------------------- | Hi all. Hey there. | It seems to me that a user can log on by a form and be authenticated by | LoginManager, for example. But that only gives them a role (I believe), | let's say authorized_user. But, what I need is a way to remember WHO they | are, not just what role they have. I'm very new to both Zope and web design | in general, so any help would be appreciated. There is a user object, available in most places called AUTHENTICATED_USER, sometimes you need to explicitly reference it as REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER To get the username, you simply call AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName() You don't need to set any variables to know who is logged in, Zope takes care of that for you. -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au|
