Unleashing the power of ECA: No-code coding for ambitious site builders

John Locke will give a preview of his DrupalCon session about the Events, Conditions, and Actions (ECA) module. ECA revolutionizes what is possible to do in Drupal without editing code.

In Drupal 6 and 7, Rules was a power module that let you glue actions together with events and conditions. ECA is the next generation of rules -- it hooks into nearly all Drupal hooks and events, leverages all existing actions, and puts it all together in a graphical flow chart that helps you sort out what needs to happen with project managers and website owners.

In this session preview John will discuss why, how, and when to use this powerful new ecosystem of modules, and see some practical examples of it in use. We will delve into what you need to know to figure out tricky scenarios, and why even experienced coders might want to use ECA instead of creating another custom module.
