[Zope] Help with Edit This Page code?

[Loren Stafford]

I remember seeing the following idea in a message about a month ago:

1. Create an object "force_login" whose default method just redirects to the
URL you give it.
2. Give "force_login" permissions such that a login will be required.
3. Link <dtml-call "force_login(URL/of/manage/method))
