Hi All, am reletively new to zope, and in particular to products, so please accept my appologies if I am asking silly questions. I have in fact nearly completed my first ever product. The product was developed on a installation of Zope 2.4.0 and is giving errors when used with Zope 2.3.2. The error only occours when a method of the product is called directly from the web. The error does not occour when a dtml method is called that contains a reference to a method of the product. The error itself is that it can not find the object AUTHENTICATED_USER. Printing out REQUEST confirms this. There is no AUTHENTICATED_USER. Again this only happens when calling a method of the product directly. e.g. browsing http://zope-site/product/method generates an error but http://zope-site/dtml_method does not, even when dtml_method contains <dtml-var expr="product.method(REQUEST)"> Is this some sort of bug that was fixed in Zope 2.4.0 or has the way things should be done changed between versions? tia..
