Rules
This is a working group for people interested in the rules module.
The group serves as a place to discuss new features and possible use cases of the rules module in drupal.
Furthermore it's used to announce recent developments related to the group.
Rules development status
This page will be updated, so you can track the development status here.
Improvements in comparison to workflow-ng:
Data Types:
Arguments had an "entity type" in workflow-ng. This has been changed to data types, so that it fits also for primitive data types like strings and numbers. So rules contains support for the usual data types like node and user, but in contrast to workflow-ng it also treats strings as data types.
Also a lot of internal code has been restructured and improved - now rules is keeping an internal array of variables.
Status: implemented
Bring services and rules together
I think it would be really useful to do a rules engine integration, so one can do service calls by configuring rules (per UI). It looks like one has already to specify the arguments for a service - so we would have to convert this to the format of the rules API and expose an action per service. Basically that should do it already.
Have I forgotten something? What do you think about this idea?
