I've been using my medium sized application as a reference on the IRC channel, and it's helped people a lot. So, here's the link to the app itself: http://hgweb.icelus.tzo.com/cardlist/file/3a29f01078a4
In particular, it seems that you would benefit from looking at the following template: http://hgweb.icelus.tzo.com/cardlist/file/3a29f01078a4/cardlist/templates/master.html I have examples in there of permission based accesses (look at lines 22, 23, 25), and group based accesses (look at line 39). That answers (b) from your email. To answer (a), look at the same link, line 35. That gets you your identity object in a template. In controller code, or model code, look at this link: http://hgweb.icelus.tzo.com/cardlist/file/3a29f01078a4/cardlist/controllers/signups.pyline 71. copy_from_vb is a method I need for my app, but not generally applicable elsewhere. However, request.identity will give you what you're looking for. Hope that helps! On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 1:42 PM, El Tea <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have a pretty good grip on predicates.
