Hi! I had a little problem and just wanted to ask if someone knows an explanation.. The goal: I want to show a list of newsitems to the user. If an administrator wants to change it he should be able to log in and see the same list but with edit- buttons. The setup is: /folder/list - public accessible dtml method which show the list /folder/edit - protected dtml method The edit method is protected so that the login requester pops up and asks for a passwort. Originally I was simply redirecting back to the list page inside the edit document by <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('...../list')"> (the only line in the document) In list I then check for a login with <dtml-if "REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'].has_permission('whatever',this())"> .. show edit button here ... </dtml-if> The problem is now that after the Redirect AUTHENTICATED_USER is again set to Anonymous (which I tested by printing AUTHENTICATED_USER). If I do no redirect but put a normal link back to the list document, everything works as expected (thus showing the edit button). So has anyone an explanation? (Version is 2.2.0) (right now I directly include the list again in the edit document by using dtml-var. Works for this little thing but I assume this only being a workaround..) (I also remember having some strange problems with a redirect from python some time ago. Back then it did not commit the database transaction in Oracle. After putting a get_transaction().commit() before the redirect made things work again.) cheers, Christian -- Christian Scholz MrTopf@IRC COM.lounge http://comlounge.net/ communication & design cs@comlounge.net
