I am trying to use this method called objectList:
<ul> <dtml-in objectValues> <li><dtml-var id></li> </dtml-in> </ul>
I've put it in the standard_html_header. [snip] When I try looking at the root page (http://john:8080) I have to provide authentication before the page will display.
What your method is doing, is stepping through every object at the root of your Zope server. Not every object there is accessible by anonymous. Even in a fresh Zope installation, Control_Panel is restricted to managers, so that is the likely culprit. To get around this problem, there is an argument for dtml-in called "skip_unauthorized" which will automatically skip over any objects that the current user is not authorized to access. Changing your dtml-in statement to: <dtml-in objectValues skip_unauthorized> Will prevent this error. However, you will get every little object in your root directory. So, standard_html_header, index_html, standard_html_footer, etc. will appear. If you want to exclude these, specify just the meta types you want to objectValues. For instance, to show only folders try this: <dtml-in expr="objectValues(['Folder'])" skip_unauthorized> To show folders and DTML documents, try this: <dtml-in expr="objectValues(['Folder','DTML Document'])" skip_unauthorized> etc., etc. hth, Casey D.
