What is the use of authentication while adding new actions in easyforms ?

[prakharjoshi]

While opening easyforms, when we click on actions button for a form, the browser url changes and it appends _authenticator=<Some token> . So I want to know if this is required here ? As it will be great if no changes will be there in url ?

Yes, you need it. It's a new security system for Plone:

• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.protect

You should generate it on the template. E.g.:

• https://github.com/collective/cioppino.twothumbs/blob/master/cioppino/twothumbs/browser/templates/thumbs.pt#L19

Then grab it and use it in you Ajax posts. E.g.:

• https://github.com/collective/cioppino.twothumbs/blob/master/cioppino/twothumbs/browser/javascripts/twothumbs.js#L30-L32

Btw this kind of question is more suitable in:

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/plone
• https://community.plone.org/
