Hi, I'd like to do the simplest possible thing in Pyramid / URL Dispatch, yet it seems almost impossibly hard to do it.
So it's the super common case of having a menu, and I'd only like to insert menu items which are available for the current user. I'm looking for a function to fit in this usage: {% macro nav_item(request, route_name, text) -%} {% if request.view_execution_permitted(route_name) %} <li> <a href="{{ request.route_url(route_name) }}">{{ text }}</a> </li> {% endif %} {%- endmacro %} My problems are the following: 1. view_execution_permitted doesn't work like this, unlike other security functions, for example request.has_permission(). Why? 2. Going the hard way and making a custom wrapper around view_execution_permitted, and adding it to request via add_request_method, I'm still stuck in how to use view_execution_permitted, for the following reason: 2.1. It needs a context. What is a context? I never had to use any context in URL Dispatch with SessionAuthenticationPolicy, and it really isn't explained on the website. I tried Googling view_execution_permitted and grepping for code in Github, but I couldn't find anything, except a Github issue ticket saying: "view_execution_permitted does not work with URL dispatch", which didn't help me. https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/issues/673 2.2. It needs a name. Is this route_name? I hope so? Maybe I don't even need view_execution_permitted. I just want a simple request.is_allowed_route(route_name). How can I do it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
