[Zope-CMF] createMemberarea suggestion

[Antti Kaihola]

Hi,


It seems that the Home folder and index_html for a new Member are 
created when wrapUser (in CMFCore/MembershipTool) is called for the 
first time. Unfortunately any additional memberdata properties will not 
have been stored at this point. I have the member's real name as a 
property and would like to use it when generating the default Home 
folder and index_html instead of the member id.

I'll probably have to modify CMFCore/MembershipTool to get around this. 
I think others might face the same situation, so would it be wise to 
change the order of the registration process in future versions? That 
way it wouldn't be necessary to change CMFCore source code to use 
memberdata properties when generating default homepages.


The other day I asked for advice about how to modify the login name on 
the fly. I'm still interested in any opinions as I haven't found a clean 
solution. I'd like to be able to type my name (e.g. "Antti Kaihola") as 
the login name, and the logged_in mechanism should silently change it 
into "antti_kaihola" just like my register script already does. Any 
thoughts about how to do this?


By the way, I see the function getUserName() used in many places, but no 
support for actually providing the real name of the user so that it 
would be returned by this function. Do I miss something?
