Hi There;
We are constructing a Nav bar that includes a link to "Members". Ideally
once a member logs in this label would change to their given name (as per
Amazon).
We are thinking about tackling this in one of the 2 ways described below. It
seems to us this might be a useful feature so we have a couple of questions
for the list. Is anyone aware of this creating a problem for backwards
compatibility? Is this worth submitting as a feature request? Perhaps it is
already covered by functionality we have not discovered.
Cheers
Pete

Subject: Action Name TAL Expression
Hi Pete,
A CMF action name is currently a simple string.
It would be a nice and relatively simple enhancement to have it support
TAL expressions. Note: This would need to be backward compatible, so we
need to identify when/how to interpret the name as a tal expression.
A couple of schemes of the top of my head...
preceed tal expressions with a tag/market ie. tal:
or
evaluate an expression enclosed in backquotes (as in the bourne shell).
