ERROR [freemarker.runtime] Expression memberFirstName

[dranakan]

Hello,

I have a message all 30 seconds in the logs. In think it's here because some users have no first name (user coming from AD). I have set a first and last name for the user (in AD), restart the Alfresco but the message is still here (in Alfresco the user has now the first and last name setted). What can I do ?
The dashlet "Site Activities" is not updated.

Alfresco 3.4D, RedHat.

Edit alfresco/templates/activities/org/alfresco/site/user-joined.atomentry.ftl to do a check if memberFirstName exist before trying to assign it.
Example below

<#include "../slingshot-common.lib.ftl">
<#assign title><#if memberFirstName??>${memberFirstName?xml}</#if><#if memberLastName??> ${memberLastName?xml}</#if> joined ${siteNetwork?xml} site</#assign>
<entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'>
   <title>${title}</title>
   <link rel="alternate" type="text/html"/>
   <icon></icon>
   <id>http://www.alfresco.org/rss/atom/${id}</id>
   <updated>${xmldate(date)}</updated>
   <summary type="html">
