RE:[Zope] Newbie: creating objects programmatically
Thanks Dmitry
1) method document_src() requires no parameters (self is passed implicitly by python) so you write context.['index_html'].write(context.memberIndex.document_src())
I tried this and got the error message mentioned, so I tried again with the explicit 'self' - no go.
2) To create a page template with a content, you may pass it in constructor: container.manage_addProduct['PageTemplates'],manage_addPageTemplaate('index_html', text=context.memberIndex.document_src())
This is certainly more elegant and I had spotted it in ZopePageTemplates.py but I wanted to go step by step. However, neither of the solutions works for me because I always get the 'Unauthorized' error message. With my limited experience, I don't know how to start debugging this. Can you help me again? regards Richard

I tried the solution on my WinXP+Zope 2.6.1 server and it works fine. What environment do you use? OS? Zope server version? Browser? How do you test it? Do you select "Test" tab in the ZMI or you open a new window and type URL ? There is a difference in browser behavior e.g. for Mozilla, no matter how many browser windows you open, you're still logged as the same zope user (Manager in your case) This doesn't always applies to IE. document_src() method requires 'View management screens' permission and if you open a new instance of IE, You're effectively an 'Anonymous User' which doesn't have it. If it is not the case, you may to use VerboseSecurity product http://hathaway.freezope.org/Software/VerboseSecurity to determine what persmission is missing Regards, Dmitry
It works! The problem was the permissions - I tried changing the more obvious ones but not 'View management screens'. I'm not sure how I could have deduced that one. For your info, I'm using Zope 2.6.1 SuSE Linux 8.2 accessing with Mozilla, Konqueror and IE5. The latter 2 work just fine. I have a small issue with Mozilla in that the 'Taller' and 'Shorter' buttons cause an 'invalid literal for int(): 100%' error. I don't care about this because I use Quanta+ for page editing. Thanks alot for your help regards

That's very simple: Zope Book, API reference (Appendix B) A required permission is specified for each API method (including document_src())
Thanks a lot for your help You are welcome :)
