[Zope-dev] Access problem.

[Ignacio Dosil Lago]

-- I am developing a CMF "link" product which defines its own traverse
 method:

  def __bobo_traverse__(self, request, name=None):
    "Traverse method hook"

    if hasattr(self, name):
      # return own attributes/subobjects
      return getattr(self, name)
    else:
      t= self.getTarget()
      if hasattr(t, name):
        # return target's attributes/subobjects
        return getattr(t, name)
      else:
        return t

-- It works fine under the ZMI but when I try to access an object of this
product into a CMF portal using the CMF interface, Zope requests me login
name and password (even if I am admin!!), which it doesn't accept, so the
only way to continue is to cancel instead of triying to log in. Once I click
on the cancel button Zope throws the following error:

Site Error

-- I know 'portal_url' is a URLTool at the CMF portal root which my product
acquires, so it's like an attribute of this object that Zope or CMF tries to
access for some reason. I've also been tracing "restrictedTraverse" in
Expressions.py but I couldn't see the information obtained as useful
information.
Any suggestions/questions?

Kind regards.
