Thank you for the wonderful module! I have used it many times in the past but I have a new and (hopefully) interesting problem.
I have a Views VBO setup that lists all of the nodes from one content type. The user can check the nodes that are interesting to them and get updates when the nodes change. Everything is working perfectly so far.
I would like to set it up so that if an anonymous user fills out the VBO and clicks submit they:
1. are redirected to the create account page
2. fill out the information needed to create the account and hit submit
3. have the flags selected previously on the VBO get automatically associated with their profile (it is ok if this is done on cron an hour or so later).
Does this seem realistic?
Thank you for taking the time to read this,
Chance

Woa!
This was a really tricky one, and I don't think it can be made in any easy way.
I guess there is a theoretical possibility to have Rules triggering on page views and if the path matches the VBO and a number of conditions are met, the user is redirected to a create account page.
To make it work all the way, you'd have to keep all the settings from the VBO in arguments or as hidden post settings somehow. (I have no experience in passing information like that -- please forgive any nonsense that I write.) Then, when the account is created, the user should be directed back to the VBO confirmation page again.
One perhaps easier way would be to use the VBO action "send objects as arguments to a page" and let that page take care of either creating a user account or flagging the content.
None of these ways are easy. Perhaps someone else can find an easier solution, but I can't think of any. Yet.
Good luck in any case!
