Question

I'm using 4.0.1 and trying to use BulRegistration. It worked, but there were a couple of things about it that I found odd.

First was that the UnprocessedRegistrations topic was not cleared after bulk registration. This doesn't make sense because after registration they are no longer unprocessed, so I expected the UnprocessedRegistrations topic to have ben emptied. But it was unchanged.

Second was the appearance of the UnprocessedRegistrationsLog. There is a lot more text there than seems right. It starts with: "Added to users topic TWikiUsers:/Password set: 1 (1 = success)/Writing topic (TwikiName)" and then there is a huge bulleted item which looks like all the source of the user template page run together. Takes about 25 lines. Then there's a bullet that says "Using Form Fields". This looks sufficiently messy that I wonder whether it's supposed to be that way.

Answer

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.

The behaviour you are seeing is as designed, though your comments are well thought out and would be useful improvements.

If you can and would like to sponsor the development of those features just let me know.

(We need a way to move support requests into feature build requests!!)

Two points:

• Every new feature typically needs to go through some iterations until it is production ready. TWiki is a product used in production.
• This is an open source project, enhancements can be done sponsored or not sponsored. "I finish my work, also if not sponsored" is a much healthier approach to supporting the TWikiCommunity.

Sure, thanks, I should have added: others are welcome to improve anything as they wish.
