[Zope] AUTHENTICATED_USER (or something) making me crazy

[Phil Harris]

Dennis,

try:

<dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName() == 'Anonymous User'">
    Guest
<dtml-else>
  <dtml-var AUTHENTICATED_USER>
</dtml-if>

Zope is 'celver' enough to realise that you must mean the username when you
do:

  <dtml-var AUTHENTICATED_USER>

but 'stupid' enough not to realise when you do:

<dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER=='Anonymous User'">

Basic rule of thumb is that anythin in quotes is Python, and since AU is an
object, it must be treated as such.

btw, if you haven't yet got the Zope Quick Reference, get it now!

you still here, what you waiting for! - go get it now!  8¬)
