Check that a user has permission on all parents in Zope

If you need to be sure that a user can view an object, you need to check the View permission not only on the object but also all of its parents. To do this, I slightly modified the script at http://zopelabs.com/cookbook/1018022911 so that it uses the context object and specified the View permission.

Create a Python script in your acquisition path (I used portal_skins/custom) named can_view and paste in this code:
permission = "View"
try:
  object=context
  if not object.acquiredRolesAreUsedBy( permission ):
    for p in object.rolesOfPermission( permission ):
      if p['selected']:
        if p['name'] in user.getRoles():
          return 1
  else:
   return 1
except:
    pass
return 0
Then you can check the permission in TAL like this:


<div tal:condition="some_object/can_view">
...
</div>
