[Zope] SimpleUserFolder Advice

[Michael Geddert]

Hi List,

I'm using SUF 0.9.0 on Zope2.6.1. I have to map the methods 
getProperty/setProperty of
SUF's User-Object to ZSQL-Methods because we're using existing table 
structures
from exUserFolders MySQLPropSource.

Basically, I need to do a "user.getProperty('email')" (e.g. in a ZPT) to 
get a string with the current users email adress. This is working great.

My Problem occurs when I want to get another Userobject from the 
Userfolder:

uo=context.acl_users.getUser('anton')
uo.getProperty('email')

.. makes my Zope spin forever, my Browser keeps loading and loading, 
but nothing ever
happens.


Here's a snippet of what I added to User.py:

def getProperty(self,key):
    parent=getattr(self,"aq_parent",None)
    context=getattr(parent,"aq_parent",None)
   
    # Check here later for context

    # Get Property from DB via ZSQL
    result=context.get_my_prop(myprop=key,myusername=self.name)

    return result[0][0]

get_my_prop is a ZSQL Method and it works fine.


I suspect "context" to break away within User.py at some point, maybe 
because the Object is not "wrapped" in Acquisition which would mean the 
ZSQL-Methods never get triggered
(not sure exactly, somebody enlighten me plz).
 
I also tried to let the Userfolder return User[dict].__of__(self) at 
some point, but that did not do the job either.



Could someone point me to the right direction plz ?
This is starting to get me frustrated

Cheers,

Michael
