[Zope] ZSQL Method & AUTHENTICATED_USER

[steve smith]

I have an approach that works for me, but it may be a bit awkward. I have a
SQL method (dbGetUserID) which takes AUTHENTICATED_USER as an argument and
finds the value from the "userid" field in the database:

select userid from users where shortname = <dtml-sqlvar AUTHENTICATED_USER
type=nb>

When I need to perform database ops on the user, I just call this method and
use the resulting id, eg,

insert into sometable (userid, otherfield) values
(<dtml-in dbGetUserID><dtml-sqlvar userid type=int></dtml-in>, <dtml-sqlvar
sequence-item type=int>)

I have AUTHENTICATED_USER in the parameter list for this SQL method as well,
though it may not need to be...

I'm pretty sure that all variables have to be passed in explicitly
with SQLMethods.  Namespaces are not passed in.

Try specifying username as an argument in the ZSQLMethods edit form
and pass it in like this:
   <dtml-in expr=
"lookup_by_username(username=REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()">

(Untested....)
