Question

I have a form where users should be able to select contact persons. The values are comming from a search for topics containing "CompanyABC" or "CompanyXYZ" and "UserForm". So all registered users from these companies will be listed.

Search:

%SEARCH{"(CompanyABC|CompanyXYZ);UserForm" scope="text" type="regex" web="%MAINWEB%" nonoise="on" format="$topic=$web.$topic" separator=", " }%

The regex search is working in the advanced site search and in the view of the form topic (e.g. ContactPersonsForm). All users are listed correctly!

BUT, if I add the form through edit to a topic (ContactPersons), after selecting the form, the follwing error appears:

TWiki detected an internal error - please check your TWiki logs and webserver logs for more information.
Unmatched ( in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.*,)?\s*%SEARCH{"( <-- HERE CompanyABC\s*(,.*)?$/

Error log:

Removing or changing $TWiki::cfg{NameFilter} (UnmatchedBracketInRegex, UnmatchedLeftBracketInSgeDotPm) doesn't solve the problem...

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.

Form.pm says in line 533 /^(.*,)?\s*$itemValue\s*(,.*)?$/ but the error message shows only /^(.*,)?\s*%SEARCH{"( <-- HERE CompanyABC\s*(,.*)?$/ so the part of the search after "|" is missing.

The error appears on twiki.org, too. Try to add the form SelectMultiForm to a topic. (sorry for misusing this existing form, but I'm not allowed to enable a new form)
