Hello everybody, I am yet another newbie! So, "HELLO WORLD!". Discovered Zope not even a week ago, got started to fiddle with it on Monday, and I think I have gotten a basic grasp of the whole thing. Zope's really promising. It's a pitty that so little Documentation exists.... Anyway, please bear with me if any of what I am trying to do is REALLY stupid. :) Situation: I have a ZClass that I want to have a method which should display information about the object itself. I followed the ZClasses howto in the developer's guide, only instead of CDs I took something else. I followed another Howto to implement the searches of a ZCatalog which includes my ZClasses (an awful lot of Z's here). The relevant part is in the search report, and it goes like so: <td><dtml-var id></td> <td><a href="<!--#var "items_catalog.getpath(data_record_id_)"-->"> <!--#var title--> </a></td> <td><dtml-var description html_quote newline_to_br></td> <td><dtml-var author></td> Now, in my ZClass I have created an index_html method, but as soon as this method is trying to access any of the object's variables (say, "title"), I get asked for username & password and subsequently locked out with: Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Unauthorized You are not authorized to access title. Now, I'd really appreciate if someone could give me some hints. For the record, if I remove all dtml tags from that method and just put some text into it, that gets rendered just fine (in ugly courier on ugly gray, but still).
