[Zope-CMF] listing members with custom properties

[Kristina Quimson Buenafe]

Hi,

I am working with Plone 0.9.9 and CMF 1.3b1, and am trying 
to customize the member roster and create a page that lists 
all the members and their properties in a table.  I found 
the following message when I searched the Zope-CMF archive, 
but am not sure how call the new getMembers script that I 
created in portal_skins/custom.  Do I call it from 
portal_membership?  

thanks,
Kristina

Christopher,

first look at getRoster() in CMFDefault.MembershipTool

second create a python script called getMembers in portal_skins/custom with
something like::
roster=[]
for member in context.portal_membership.listMembers():
    roster.append( { 'id':member.getUserName()
                            , 'email':member.email
                            , 'property': member.property })
return roster

and make this script proxy (Proxy Tab in Managemetn screen) as Manager, then
call getMembers instead of portal_membership.getRoster()
