If a user is authenticated when at the form, all is smooth. When a user is anonymous and submits the cookie authentication in the middle of the transaction seems cause an error. >> Error Type: KeyError Error Value: 'prop' Chris> What's the traceback to go with the above? Traceback (innermost last): Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 100, in publish Module ZPublisher.mapply, line 88, in mapply Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 40, in call_object Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 306, in __call__ Module Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, line 343, in _bindAndExec Module Products.PythonScripts.PythonScript, line 318, in _exec Module None, line 3, in editCalendarProperty - <PythonScript at /masonicmed/dailySchedule/editCalendarProperty> - Line 3 Module AccessControl.ZopeGuards, line 67, in guarded_getitem Module ZPublisher.HTTPRequest, line 1214, in __getitem__ KeyError: 'propval' Code for form: (in html without the end brackets) input name="prop" type="hidden" value="<dtml-var prop>" textarea name="propval" rows="15" cols="65" wrap="hard" /textarea and the python code : REQUEST = context.REQUEST propval = (REQUEST['propval']) prop = (REQUEST['prop']) if ( context.index_html.hasProperty(REQUEST['prop']) ): context.index_html.manage_changeProperties({ REQUEST['prop'] : propval }) else: context.index_html.manage_addProperty(REQUEST['prop'], propval, 'text') return REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(REQUEST['URL1']) What's interesting is that it works when a user is already authenticated and makes it to the edit form. It fails only when the form is arrived at by an anonymous user and has to authenticate in the middle of the form submission when the python script requires privileges in order to change properties. I'm using Cookie crumbler (newest version). And I've tried making the individual pages secured but the same problem occurs. When the form is secured it disables the passed variables needed to use the form. And when the python script is secured the same problem happens as above. Thanks for the willingness to take a look at this. j
