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 someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is 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.
