Looking for any basic-advanced tutorials on understanding rules. Things that explain data selectors and such.
For example, if I create a component that is full of conditions, and then set that component as a condition in a rule, why do I need to provide a data selector? The conditions of the component ARE the conditions of the rule. That part is really confusing.
It just seems that all of it doesn't make sense. Let's say the above component has a condition "is a blog entry" and you set that condition on your rule. What do you need a data selector for and what would you put as the data selector? That is really confusing to me.
Any tutorials would be greatly appreciated or at least some explanation on the whole component thing.

Here's a quite comperensive tutorial on Rules: http://nodeone.se/node/984
And here's the episode that deals with components: http://nodeone.se/node/990
Hope it is if use!

I was following Jahan Falk's 2 series about Rules and they are awesome.
D7 entities and other stuff makes Rules a little bit confusing to a D6 Rules 1 lover but as soon as we get familiar with it, you will find how to execute the Rules reducing the number of conditions(same effect) to detect the exact case.
Surely above two links will help much.
