when using the acl-users way of authenticating a user i have one problem: whenever the user presses the 'cancel'-button he gets a zope error thats not using the standard_error_message-method. this is not only rather ugly behaviour, it actually pisses off one of our customers in a rather dramatic way. so, is there a way to get rid of this kind of error message WITHOUT changing the zope-source? there's a comment in the source which suggests that there may be some way to use standard_error_message - but obviously it's not implemented.(yet?) another way to work around the problem would be to use some kind of html-form to input the user name and password and validate it 'on foot' on the consecuting page, but i have the strong feeling that this will not work as it is server-side and the client is not notified - but this may be a wrong conclusion. does anyone know a way to get a 'nice' login page and avoid the brainbogglingly ugly error message? (our customer actually thinks that the message means our code is bugged. this annoys me even more than him...) i would be very grateful if the answer (if someone knows it) could be sent to me directly as i often don't have the time to actually read the mailings on this list. well, i try to, but the days has only 24 hours. (is there an 48-hours-a-day-patch for life? ;) ) gregor --- PBM Online Services / Artis Group newmedia concepts Gregor Ottmann Leiter Softwaredesign go@pbm.de / ottmann@artis-group.com www.pbm.de / www.artis-group.com
