-- I am developing a CMF "link" product which defines its own traverse method:

def __bobo_traverse__(self, request, name=None): "Traverse method hook"

if hasattr(self, name): # return own attributes/subobjects return getattr(self, name) else: t= self.getTarget() if hasattr(t, name): # return target's attributes/subobjects return getattr(t, name) else: return t

-- It works fine under the ZMI but when I try to access an object of this product into a CMF portal using the CMF interface, Zope requests me login name and password (even if I am admin!!), which it doesn't accept, so the only way to continue is to cancel instead of triying to log in.

I had a similar problem when accessing the request object in __bobo_traverse__(self, request, name). Authentication didn´t work afterwards. I don´t what happens in getTarget() but maybe that´s the problem. Arndt

I don't thing the poblem is in getTarget() because when the exception is thrown that method is never called. The exception is thrown when "__bobo_traverse__" returns "getattr(linkObject, 'portal_url')" and only when we are working with links in the CMF interface, not the ZMI. Any suggestions/questions? Kind regards.
