Hi folks!
I'd like to have a generic index_html in every member folder showing up
news items. They should show only the news generated by the member. So I am
looking for a method returning me the members name so I can feed it in to
the catalog search.
So I have two questions concerning this:
1. Get a members name
---------------------
I'd like to have something like a getMember() (not getAuthenticatedUser()!)
but couldn't find that in the portal_membership interface. Should it be
there or can I get this information from an other place?
What I am doing now (as workaround) in the index_html method in the members
folder (Members/name/index_html) is:
URLPATH1[_.string.rfind(URLPATH1, '/')+1:]
which returns correctly the string 'name'.
But I am searching for a better solution which is independant of the
members folder structure because I want to include this into the standard
header to save the information in the REQUEST for further use!
Is there a better solution? Hints for search would help also.
2. 'Inject' or (better) 'project' objects into a (member) folder from
somewhere
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
I'd like to have a generic index_html dtml method somewhere (best in a skin
folder) which will be show up as index_html dtml method in every Member
folder (automagically). More generaly said: Is there a possibility (a
tool?) to project a whole folder tree into the member area? I don't like
the idea of having copies of the same file in every member folder.
As I remember there was a discussion about a similar topic, but I don't
have any idea how to search the mailing list for messages.
Thanks in advance, Greg
P.S.: Zope/CMF is a great and real powerful tool, thanks for all who made
it work!
