Hi, I got a ZClass 'Test', with a DTML Method 'view' containing <dtml-var id>, and a DTML Document 'view2' with the same line. instance/view works. instance/view2 returns (ZDebug output): Error type: Unauthorized Error value: The object /test/view2, which is contained in /test/view2, is marked as private. Traceback (innermost last): File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 187, in publish File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 171, in publish File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: view2) File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: view2) File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/OFS/DTMLDocument.py, line 189, in __call__ (Object: view2) File /opt/Zope/lib/python/Products/ZDebug/DTMLLocator.py, line 103, in __call__ (Object: view2) File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 538, in __call__ (Object: view2) File /opt/Zope/lib/python/Products/ZDebug/DTMLDebug.py, line 259, in debug_render_blocks File /opt/Zope/lib/python/Products/ZDebug/DTMLDebug.py, line 239, in debugException File /opt/Zope/lib/python/Products/ZDebug/DTMLDebug.py, line 256, in debug_render_blocks File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 261, in validate (Object: view2) File /opt/Zope-2.3.0-linux2-x86/lib/python/AccessControl/SecurityManager.py, line 144, in validate File /opt/Zope/lib/python/Products/ZDebug/DebugSecurityPolicy.py, line 304, in validate Unauthorized: (see above) The same happens if I place a copy of 'view' inside a Folder in the ZClass and call instance/folder/view, except that this time the Folder is flagged as the 'private' object. Why? What? Is this a bug? Or is it supposed to work this way and I just don't get it? Did I fall behind on my sheep sacrifices? Or was it changed to goats and I missed the memo? Environment: Zope 2.3.0, ZClass subclassing only ZObject, using stock acl_users and storing the instance in a standard Folder. -- -- Itai Tavor -- "Je sautille, donc je suis." -- itai@optusnet.com.au -- - Kermit the Frog -- -- -- -- "If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything" --
