[Zope-dev] Want to test if User Equal to a Property

[Jason Spisak]

Yes Gabe, my dents are healing now.  To evaluate the page based on login
I use this code:

<!--#if expr=_['owner']==AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()"-->
  <!--#var foo-->
<!--#else-->
  <!--#var bar-->
<!--#/if-->

Provided the parent folder or any aquirable folder has a property named
'owner'  which stands for the peron you want to "own" the document, it
will evaluate just fine.

Hope that helps,
