After reading the docs and looking for posts relating this problem
here and in .users, I found no "standard" way of checking for a
user's group permissions in the templates.
So what I did is to add the following method to auth.models.User
(yeah, yeah, it *should* be in appname.models.UserProfile):
def group_permissions(self):
class GroupPermissions:
def __init__(self, permissions):
for perm in permissions:
setattr(self, perm, True)
def __str__(self):
return 'The user belongs to the following groups: %s' % \
', '.join([k for k, v in self.__dict__.iteritems()])
return GroupPermissions(self.get_group_permissions())
which lets me write something like the following in my templates:
{% if user.group_permissions.permission_name %} draw custom menues for
this particular group here {% endif %}
So, is there already a way to do this and I missed it? If not, given
that it is apparently not advisable (is it?) to extend the
auth.models.User class, how about we add it?
