Hi, I had (have) a problem with the Id property on an Article class that subclasses the DTML document. And indeed the problem was with the fact that I was subclassing the DTML Document, which as explained in http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/ZClassIDBug somewhat mangles the Id property. Public thanks to Rik Hoekstra <rik.hoekstra@inghist.nl> for suggesting that. I added this fix (from the page I mention above) to the constructor method, <!--#with "myZClass.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)"--> <dtml-call "setName(REQUEST['id'])"> <!--#/with--> And when I try creating a new object, it blows up in my face with this error: Unauthorized You are not authorized to access setName. Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 179, in publish File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 165, in publish File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: ArticleClass_add) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: ArticleClass_add) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py, line 150, in __call__ (Object: ArticleClass_add) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: ArticleClass_add) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_With.py, line 148, in render (Object: ArticleClass.createInObjectManager(REQUEST['id'], REQUEST)) File /usr/local/zope/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line 329, in eval (Object: setName(REQUEST['id'])) (Info: setName) Unauthorized: (see above) I _think_ that my user on this system has enough permissions to do this. Should I just ditch the class and recreate it (under the hypothesis that I botched something while I was creating it the first time), or should I pester the guy that made my user for additional, God-like, power ? And what is so special about setName ?
