Question

I've installed the ActionTrackerPlugin as i want to create a meeting minutes application where users can be notified of the action items they have created. I already use WebNotify to inform certain users of changes to the wiki by email (using mailnotify) and this works well. However when i run actionnotify from the shell i get the following error

../tools/actionnotify "state=\"open\""

Can't use string ("1") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /var/www/html/twiki/lib/TWiki/Func.pm line 1622.

I've seen this error reported in another support question ActionNotifyErrorOnDakar but the solution only hides the problem.

When i uncomment use strict from Func.pm actionnotify appears to work as a mail is sent out from the system. However from my mail logs i can see that this mail is sent to example@yourPLEASENOSPAM.company, which makes no sense to me.

Thanks for the great software!

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

It sounds very much as if you have at least one user who doesn't have a registered email address. Check that all users have a valid registered email address. If you are using one of the standard password managers, then look at .htpasswd - every user should have a valid email in their entry.

This looks like a bug, better to ignore users that have no valid e-mail address. I filed Bugs:Item3391.

Please report back here if fixing the e-mail address solves the issue. Remember that e-mail addresses are pulled from the .htpasswd and from user homepages.

This was due to a bug in the core; see Bugs:Item2606. it is fixed in 4.0.5. Ian, I would recommend you upgrade.
