Actually just notice VirtualHostMonster does the same thing our quick hack does: if name in ('manage_main', 'manage_workspace'): return self.manage_main Hmm. I guess using before_ or after_traversve hooks would be better than overriding traverse. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy McKay" <andym@ActiveState.com> To: <zope-dev@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 6:01 PM Subject: [Zope-dev] Overriding traversal

We have a SQL method that works quite nicely by messing around with __bobo_traverse__ meaning we can pass in long URL's as arguments such as /SQLMethod/a/b/c, /a/b/c is an argument into ZSQL. This is extremely useful to use. We do this by overiding __bobo_traverse__.

The problem occurs when we mess around with the management interface it seems things such as manage_workspace can't be returned by using the usual suspects and I get permission error since <guess>BaseRequest cant seem to get the correct roles</guess> What would be really nice is if I can call __bobo_traverse__ and do my thing and if it all goes wrong, what the hey I just return with no change.

This post could go on for a while, but I dont want to bore you. Any advice?

Thanks in advance.
