[rt-users] custom template probs using RT::Group

[Andy Smith]

Hi,

   On RT 3.8.2 I am trying to use the example here:

http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/SendEmailAction

When I try and use the section in the template as described in the wiki:

To: { my $GroupObj = RT::Group->new($user);
$GroupObj->LoadUserDefinedGroup('Group Name');
$GroupObj->MemberEmailAddressesAsString()}


it doesn't work for me, I see this error in the system messages file:

Mar 16 00:01:52 alpha RT: RT::Users=HASH(0x16b0a97c) was created  
without a CurrentUser. Any RT object which is subclass of RT::Base  
must be created with a RT::CurrentUser or a RT::User object as the  
first argument. (/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/RT/Base.pm:108)

It does work if I use this code:

To: { my $GroupObj = RT::Group->new($RT::SystemUser);
$GroupObj->LoadUserDefinedGroup('Group Name');
$GroupObj->MemberEmailAddressesAsString()}

But I don't understand the difference, is using $RT::SystemUser going  
to do anything bad? If this is ok and there is some problem with the  
code as is on the wiki should I update the data on the wiki?

thanks for any help, Andy.
