Re: [Zope] Custom authentication page...

I've read that I should use the "Cookie Crumbler" product... but after I've added this to the folder that I intend to protect, I click on cookie_authentication (the default name for the "Cookie Crumbler" object) and I get the following error message: -- An error was encountered while publishing this resource. *Error Type: AttributeError* *Error Value: aq_parent* -- Is this a bug with "Cookie Crumbler" (version 0.3 downloaded from zope.org used against Zope 2.9.4, python 2.4.3, win32)? Am I barking up the wrong tree in hoping to have a slick-looking "logon" page?  Is this something commonly done using Zope?  Is "Cookie Crumbler" the right product?  Would I be better hand-coding this myself? Steve, Thats a weird one ...  but cookie crumbler is great to get  custom login forms Did you try deleting it and adding another (cookie_authentication object)  Maybe you added a property thats non-existent? (login page id or something?) you can produce a fuller error traceback If necessary add   <dtml-var error_tb> to your standard_error_message (if using dtml) for a clearer error _expression_
