This is the eighth and last update of the Rules Monkey Summer of Code project. Summer of Code is over, time to do a summary:

• I worked on 13 issues in the Rules issue queue and on 2 in the Workflow issue queue.
• I created a new submodule of Rules: Rules forms support.

This is the seventh update of the Rules Monkey Summer of Code project. The progress we made last week:

• Rules has now some new icons in the admin area (including some other usability fixes)
• Patches are ready for two new Rules form support features: disabling elements and setting a default value

This is the sixth update of the Rules Monkey Summer of Code project. Many good news:

• Form support for Rules has been committed, have fun!
• Fago gave me CVS access to Rules, because I will be the Form support maintainer (I will try to not break Rules ;-)
• We did some research for new icons in Rules.
• I worked on some usability details, the corresponding issue also contains the new icons.

This is the fifth update of the Rules Monkey Summer of Code project. Implementation of the form support in Rules is on the way.

• The form support code is located in a sub-module of Rules
• Rules admins can activate/deactivate events on selected forms
• Form element IDs are made visible for the Rules admin on the selected form
• Currently there are 3 events: "form is being built", "form is validated" and "form is submitted"
• There is one condition to check a form element value

This is the fourth update of the Rules Monkey Summer of Code project. A lot of progress has been made last week:

• Rules scheduler changes were committed to the official Rules CVS repository, yay!
• I wrote 3 tutorials to help people understand and use Rules scheduler
• I implemented an action to delete nodes, which was also committed

This is the third update of the Rules Monkey Summer of Code project. The enhancements for the Rules Scheduler module are now finished and have been reviewed many times by my mentor and me. (see the issue for patches and details). They will be comitted to the official Rules CVS development branch in the next days.

This is the second update of the Rules Monkey Summer of Code project. I'm sorry for the relatively long pause between this post and the previous update (university kept my quite busy in June, but now I'm full-time available).

The progress that has been made so far:

• Work on the Rules Scheduler issue (http://drupal.org/node/455560)
• Successfully explored Views, DB-Schema and Rules hooks
• Scheduled tasks can now be viewed, a Rules action is available to cancel specific scheduled tasks

This is the first update of the Rules Monkey Summer of Code project. I will try to produce updates on a regular basis (one in a week or two), although I'm quite busy with exams and university stuff right now (generally in June). Updates will be published in this group at groups.drupal.org and link to the updates will be added to the wiki page.

Overview

The Rules module is designed to support actions that are executed depending on events and conditions (ECA rules) in Drupal. This proposal is about extending and enhancing Rules module with new features and ideas.
