You can also create an external python script to call private methods. -----Original Message----- From: zope-cmf-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-cmf-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of John_Knutson@candle.com Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 12:53 PM To: Tres Seaver Cc: zope-cmf@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope-CMF] Access to other members properties Tres, That was one of the approaches that I tried. However, since that methjod is private, I needed to create a protected method in Membership to invoke it and when I called that, I got an Attribute Error from somewhere. Maybe I should just create something based on searchMemberDataContents without any security at all. I'll try that and see how it goes.

OK, I can now set my 'notify' property. Now I need to create a list of the email addresses of all of the members that have the 'notify'property set.

I've tried all sorts of things without success. This, for example returns the 'notify' property when 'member' is the logged-on user but returns Attribute Error for any other name:

<dtml-var expr="member.getProperty('notify')">

I've even tried adding new methods to the Membership and MemberData tools without success.

Can anyone direct me in the right direction?

CMFCore.Membershiptool.MembershipTool has a utility method which might give you a good start: security.declarePrivate( 'searchMemberDataContents' ) def searchMemberDataContents( self, search_param, search_term ): """ Search members """ res = [] if search_param == 'username': search_param = 'id' for user_wrapper in self._members.values(): searched = getattr( user_wrapper, search_param, None ) if searched is not None and string.find( searched, search_term ) != -1: res.append( { 'username' : getattr( user_wrapper, 'id' ) , 'email' : getattr( user_wrapper, 'email', '' ) } ) return res While this is hardly as general as it could be, it does sketch out the access method for searching memberdata.
