We can't help you if we don't know what you are trying to do. Ok, i need to replace zpublisher_validate_hook with my hook. my hook: def zpublisher_validated_hook( REQUEST, user ): Zope._nau_zpublisher_validated_hook( REQUEST, user ) # old validate hook published = self.PUBLISHED published = getattr(published, 'im_self', published) portal = published.getPortalObject() if hasattr( portal, '_afterValidateHook' ): portal._afterValidateHook( user, published, REQUEST ) _afterValidateHook do many thinks specific to the portal such as 1. Sets response charset according to the user's selected language. 2. Replaces HTML-encoded entities with their corresponding characters in the POST form data. 3. Changes system locale according to the portal language. Ok, 2. and 3. can be moved to UserFolder.validate method, which PAS used. But 1. uses getSecurityManager through Products.CMFCore.utils._getAuthenticatedUser through MembershipTool.{isAnonymousUser,getAuthenticatedMember}, and must be executed after the Zope`s zpublisher_validate_hook hook, which setted new security manager. -- Best regards, Victor Safronovich NauMen.NauDoc.SoftwareDeveloper http://www.naumen.ru
