Alastair,

I see from a message you sent to the Zope mailing list that you are an expert with Ty Sarna's Calendar.

Flatery will get you everywhere.;^) I figured it all out because Ty (as all of Zope is) made it Open Source! Thanks again Ty. Actually I consider myself a novice with the calendar because I still can't get it to change color.;) But the Catalog is something I've been working with for a bit.

What might I conceivably put into my DTML documents that would replace the lines in your exampe code that go:

<!--#in "Catalog(recruiter=AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName())"-->

This line only gets me the objects that "belong" (have a property named 'recruiter' that has the user name stored in it of the person who 'owns' it) to that person. Then I ask for only those objects that have a scheduled date equal to the date that the calender tag is displaying. hence,

<!--#if "calendar_date.dayOfYear()==date.dayOfYear()"-->

You might try to give the EventClass a property 'owner' and insert the name of the user who creates it, as in <input type="hidden" name="owner" value="<!--#var AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()-->, and you can ask for them by date using <!--#if "mydateproperty.dayOfYear()==date.dayOfYear()"-->. The "date" is a property of the calendar tag. Incidentally, the whole ownership thing will be *much* easierr and consistant when the Zope Portal Toolkit comes out in a bit. The Owner role already exists, but I haven't got around to messing with it. Happy Zoping, Jason Spisak webmaster@mtear.com
