I try to add properties to a file via dtml, without success! I get a "Authorization required" message. The security settings are set to "Manage properties - Anonymous, Manager, Owner".
here the code I use to add the properties: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('content_dir', 'news')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('content_id', 'testdocument')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('tA_worker', 'simon')"> <dtml-call "_[content_dir]._[content_id].manage_addProperty('author', tA_worker, ^ You see this "_"?
In fact, it as a syntax error but the DTML expression parser is a bit lossy and raises instead an "Unauthorized" exception as it sees an attribute starting with "_" (which always is private). Try: <dtml-call "_[content_dir][content_id].manage_addProperty(...)"> When accessing objects, its usually better to use "_.getitem(...)" rather than "_[...]". There is no difference for folders, but callable objects will show drastic differences. Read <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html> for details. Dieter
