Question

This is a new twiki that I'm trying to install and configure. When a user attempts to register a new account, they receive the email notifications. If they click on the email link, they get the following error on the web browser: invalid string argument 'TWikiRegistrationAgent' %USERNAME|S% at E:/twiki/lib/TWiki/Sandbox.pm line 225.

The only workaround is to modify the Sandbox.pm and change this line from: $param =~ /^[0-9A-Za-z.+_\-]$/ ) { to: $param =~ /^[0-9A-Za-z.+_\-].*$/ ) {

Should this be done or is there another fix to address this problem?

You're right, it's a bug. Your workaround is OK on a private server, though the RE should be changed thus: $param =~ /^[0-9A-Za-z.+_\-]+$/
