... for a product I am writing, i need to experiment with inhibiting URL-traversal to the methods and subobjects of it. I still wnat the methods and objects to be available via direct call, for instance:
You can use a "SiteAccess" "AccessRule" for this.
Be warned, however, that "AccessRules" can be disabled in the URL (by a few knowing people). If this concerns you, can can remove this feature from "AccessRule" (code modification).
Using an AccessRule is not precisely what I had in mind - I want my product to behave in such a way by itself - but looking at how AccessRules work will surely give me some insight. Thanks for the pointer.
... Also, can such a behaviour be imposed on templates (they being methods really) and Script(Python)s?
It can -- with some difficulties:
Templates and scripts are called because they define "index_html" as "None".
If you give a template or script a non-None "index_html", then this object will be called instead of the template/script.
I see. Is this possible to do on FS-based scripts/templates? I believe zodb-based files may be manipulated at install-time by my product, by I am not sure how to do this for FS-based stuff. Anyway, thanks Dieter for the pointers. This will get me started :-) /dario -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Lopez-Kästen, IT Systems & Services Chalmers University of Tech.
