Hi all - I've got a couple problems (so, what's new? ;-) First, how do I test against the value of the AUTHENTICATED_USER? I'm creating files and folders through a DTML interface, and taging them with a property set to the result of REQUEST.get('AUTHENTICATED_USER') as a 'string' (see my previous emails about REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] not working directly) Now, I want to retrieve that property, and test it againt the current AUTHENTICATED_USER, so if they are the same, I offer rename and delete functions. The following DOESN'T work, although the string representation of both addedby and REQUEST.get('AUTHENTICATED_USER') look the same when rendered farther down: <!--#in expr="objectValues(['File'])"--> <tr> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="16"> <!--#if "addedby == REQUEST.get('AUTHENTICATED_USER')"--> <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="ids:list" VALUE="<!--#var id-->"> <!--#/if--> </TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"> <A HREF="<!--#var id url_quote-->"> <IMG SRC="/NSBRI/misc_/OFSP/File_icon.gif" ALT="[File]" BORDER="0"></A> </TD> <td class="smallclean"><a href="<!--#var id url_quote-->"><!--#var title_or_id--></a></td> <td class="smallclean"><!--#var size thousands_commas--> bytes</td> <td class="smallclean"><!--#var bobobase_modification_time fmt="Date"--></td> <td align="center" class="smallclean"> <!--#var addedby--></td> </tr> <!--#/in--> Second problem: I deleted the top level acl_users folder, replaced it with UserDb, then moved my UserDb into a sub folder, so I recreated a 'standard' User Folder at the root, but now I can't authenticate against an users I create in there. Is there a bug with adding a User Folder at the top level? this is all with 1.11.0pr1 on Win32 Thanks, Ross -- Ross J.
