sorry sorry sorry, I just reinstalled my email client and didn't turn off html sending... sorry Hi! While customizing my standard_error_message, I ran into a little problem: Someone with the role "Member" is logged in and tries to access a resource that does not exist. Same could happen to someone who doesn't have that role (Anonymous). Now I have two different style sheets for members and non-members: A member might click on a broken link from within the members-only area (having a... pink background), the anonymous user clicked the same broken link from a publicly accessible area of the site (having a... silver background). I would like to keep the different background colors when showing my error message so I put a <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('Member')"> <dtml-var "members_css"> <dtml-else> <dtml-var "public_css"> </dtml-if> in the head section of standard_error_message (these *_css are ZStyleSheets) My problem is, that it's always the public_css that will show up. So I checked with <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()"> in both the members area and standard_error_message. To my surprise the member role was gone: In the members area getRoles() returned ('Member',) while in standard_error_message ( _.str(error_type)=='NotFound' ) it returned ('Anonymous',) btw, the role is not really "lost", I can go back to the members area and click through members-only pages without problems. What's happening? This looks like buggy, naughty misbehavior :-), doesn't it? tia, Danny
