[Zope-CMF] get a members name / 'project' object into a member folder

[Grégoire Weber]

Just forgot (as allways) to cc that to the list:

Hi Flynt,

thanks for your quick answer! (question 1)

I've seen that method also, but what I search for is not method that lists
all members.
I am searching for *the* members name inside of the member folder. It
should be the same as is supplied by the DublinCore Creator attribute.

I've made some progress in extracting the name out of the URLPATH with:

<dtml-let anchor = "'Members'"
          pos    = "_.string.find(URLPATH0, anchor)"
          beg    = "pos + _.len(anchor) + 1"
          end    = "_.string.find(URLPATH0, '/', beg)">
<dtml-if "pos == -1">
   <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('member', '')">
<dtml-else>
   <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('member', URLPATH0[beg:end])">
</dtml-if>

So I get correct results whith this code:
   http://localhost:8080/up/Members/wwf/home/view             --> member is
'wwf'
   http://localhost:8080/up/Members/wwf/folder/news_in_folder --> member is
'wwf'
   http://localhost:8080/up                                   --> member is ''

But the question remains, if there would exist a more elegant (CMF built
in) method. 
It's only if you know anyhow!
