[Product-Developers] Determining the UserName, grok.View class, permission = zope2.View

[Kevin Gill]

Hi,

I have a view, which is available to all users. I want to have different 
logic based on the user name if the user is logged in. The view is a 
grok.View. Unfortunately, the user is not authenticated before the view 
is invoked. Is there another View baseclass that I should be using?

My understanding is that "zope2.View" should invoke the authentication 
machinery whereas "zope2.Public" would not.

Thanks,

Kevin


from five import grok

class ListTags(grok.View):
     grok.context(Interface)
     grok.require('zope2.View')

     def __init__(self, context, request):
         super(ListTags, self).__init__(context, request)
         import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

However, even though I am logged in

(Pdb) context.portal_membership.isAnonymousUser()
1

Later on in the same request, code called from a viewlet is authenticated...

(Pdb) context.portal_membership.isAnonymousUser()
0
