[Zope-CMF] Re: allow managers to use setMemberProperties() method

[David Bain]

It's working nicely now, but I altered the python script abit.
my version looks like this:

username = proxyuser
request = context.REQUEST


##just need to add some code that loops through the values
mapping = {'fullname': request['fullname']
            ,'email': request['email']
            }

container.setAMembersProperties(username, mapping)

request.RESPONSE.redirect('urltoredirectto')

Thanks alot
(I should probably put my recipe up at zopelabs)
