[Zope] Zope Newbie needs help with DTML

[Laurie Nason]

You can't nest DTML you need to do the following:

<dtml-if "X in AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()">
Then execute code
<dtml-else> Permission Denied!
</dtml-if>

getRoles() returns a list and you want to see if X is in this list.
But you probably want to replace the AUTHENTICATED_USER with
_.SecurityGetUser() - something to do with more security

Hi all,

I couldn't get this code to work in Zope.  Can some one help me please?

#####################################################
<dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles() =='<dtml-var X>'">
Then execute code
<dtml-else> Permission Denied!
</dtml-if>
#####################################################

The .getRoles() method returns a string of more than one roles
('Manager','Owner','*******').  Assume that <dtml-var X> = Owner ,how do i
chop off the return of getRoles() to validate the above statement?

thanks,
