[Zope] what is my realname?

[Greg Conway]

Hi all,

Sorry, this has got to be stupidly obvious, but I just can't seem to work it
out... this is my first attempt at anything other than simple dtml
scripting!

I've set up exUserFolder so that I can log in and out, etc, and I've
restricted access to the "add new record" page (all this is working off a
MySQL Db).

So, I want to store the username of the user in the Db. I have a user
"greg", the user has a property "realname", surely I must simply be able to
at least display this? (using I would presume the <dtml-var var> tag).

I've tried the following syntax but had no luck so far!

<tr><td>Username:</td><td><dtml-var
expr="acl_users.realname.values()"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Username:</td><td><dtml-var expr="realname.values()"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Username:</td><td><dtml-var
expr="REQUEST.values('realname')"></td></tr>

But none of it works. I'm very much a "learn from somebody else's example"
kind of guy, but I've been searching for hours and cannot seem to find an
example!

Any kind soul out there fancy pointing me in the direction of the correct
syntax?

Many thanks!

Regards,

Greg Conway.
