[Zope-CMF] portal_membership.checkPermission('List portal members', member)

[Antwan Reijnen]

Hi all,

I have a little problem, which I do not understand. I cannot find this in the archives, either (hope I searched well!). My Zope: 2.3.3, windows98.

It is about the following code in the standard_top_bar:

<dtml-let member="portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember()"               listMembers="portal_membership.checkPermission('List portal members', member)">

I mapped the permission 'List portal members' to role Anonymous in the security tab of the cmf-site. So, the 'members' link in the top-bar should appear, no?

But it does not. portal_membership.checkPermission('List portal members', member) evaluates to 0. I don't understand this, because:

When I force this link on in the top-bar, and click on it (as anonymous user), I get the roster without problems.

So, still trying, I turned this permission off again for anonymous user. The above expression still evaluates to 0, and clicking on 'members' as an anonymous user does'nt work anymore: a logon is forced. This is what I expect to happen.

So: any ideas on this? Why does the checkPermission evaluate to zero, whereas it works correctly when displaying the member roster?

Mmmm... Greetings, Antwan.
