I need help! I have fought with this for hours and have search everywhere with no luck. What I am trying to do I would of thought to be very simple, WRONG! I have a form that collects the users name (Title of node) and link (CCK text field) when the user submits a form of this content type I would like to generate a post to twitter with that information. That's it!
I have debug turned on and can verify that rules is running through the actions properly. I have a rule set with a variable. I am using load content by ID and can't seem to get it to grab the node id, it only works if I enter the id manually, which won't work.
I am a newbie and I am desperate for help! Thank you so much to anyone willing to help me!

Node id token ?
Hi,
Although you described the situation, it still a bit hard to understand it.
From what I understand, you have a rule that should get the node id as an input. When you "manually" write it - it works, but when you try to "grab" it you fail.
Do you mean you use a token to get the node id ? If so, which token exactly, and what are the variables exist in the rule ?
Maybe exposting the rule and attaching it here can be useful for better help.
good luck,
shushu
ShuShu, Thank you for
ShuShu,
Thank you for responding I am somewhat of a newbie at all this. Despite my poor attempt at describing my problem I think you got the idea. Here is an example of my rule that doesn't work which I would think would be "grabbing" the node id, this just posts the tokens without replacing them:
array ('rules' =>
array (
'rules_10' =>
array (
'#type' => 'rule',
'#set' => 'event_edit_yourself_node_form_form_submit',
'#label' => 'Edit Yourself Redirect/Tweet',
'#active' => 1,
'#weight' => '0',
'#categories' =>
array (
),
'#status' => 'custom',
'#conditions' =>
array (
),
'#actions' =>
array (
0 =>
array (
'#weight' => 0,
'#info' =>
array (
'label' => 'Load content by id',
'arguments' =>
array (
'nid' =>
array (
'type' => 'number',
'label' => 'Content ID',
),
'vid' =>
array (
'type' => 'number',
'label' => 'Content Revision ID',
'description' => 'If you want to load a specific revision, specify it\'s revision id. Else leave it empty to load the current revision.',
'required' => false,
),
),
'new variables' =>
array (
'node_loaded' =>
array (
'label' => 'content with id [node:nid]',
'label callback' => false,
'type' => 'node',
),
),
'module' => 'Node',
),
'#name' => 'rules_action_load_node',
'#settings' =>
array (
'nid' => '[node:nid]',
'vid' => '',
'#argument map' =>
array (
'node_loaded' => 'node_loaded',
),
),
'#type' => 'action',
),
1 =>
array (
'#type' => 'action',
'#settings' =>
array (
'#argument map' =>
array (
'node' => 'node_loaded',
),
),
'#name' => 'rules_action_invoke_set_rules_set_1',
'#info' =>
array (
'label' => 'Post to Twitter Rule Set',
'arguments' =>
array (
'node' =>
array (
'type' => 'node',
'label' => 'Content',
),
),
'categories' =>
array (
0 => 'example',
),
'status' => 'custom',
'module' => 'Rule Sets',
'base' => 'rules_action_invoke_set',
'set' => 'rules_set_1',
),
'#weight' => 0,
),
),
'#version' => 6003,
),
),
)
Here is an example that works but I have to manually enter a node id (50) for it I cannot use token replacement:
array ('rules' =>
array (
'rules_10' =>
array (
'#type' => 'rule',
'#set' => 'event_edit_yourself_node_form_form_submit',
'#label' => 'Edit Yourself Redirect/Tweet',
'#active' => 1,
'#weight' => '0',
'#categories' =>
array (
),
'#status' => 'custom',
'#conditions' =>
array (
),
'#actions' =>
array (
0 =>
array (
'#weight' => 0,
'#type' => 'action',
'#settings' =>
array (
'nid' => '50',
'vid' => '',
'#argument map' =>
array (
'node_loaded' => 'node_loaded',
),
),
'#name' => 'rules_action_load_node',
'#info' =>
array (
'label' => 'Load content by id',
'arguments' =>
array (
'nid' =>
array (
'type' => 'number',
'label' => 'Content ID',
),
'vid' =>
array (
'type' => 'number',
'label' => 'Content Revision ID',
'description' => 'If you want to load a specific revision, specify it\'s revision id. Else leave it empty to load the current revision.',
'required' => false,
),
),
'new variables' =>
array (
'node_loaded' =>
array (
'label' => 'content with id 50',
'label callback' => false,
'type' => 'node',
),
),
'module' => 'Node',
),
),
1 =>
array (
'#weight' => 0,
'#info' =>
array (
'label' => 'Post to Twitter Rule Set',
'arguments' =>
array (
'node' =>
array (
'type' => 'node',
'label' => 'Content',
),
),
'categories' =>
array (
0 => 'example',
),
'status' => 'custom',
'module' => 'Rule Sets',
'base' => 'rules_action_invoke_set',
'set' => 'rules_set_1',
),
'#name' => 'rules_action_invoke_set_rules_set_1',
'#settings' =>
array (
'#argument map' =>
array (
'node' => 'node_loaded',
),
),
'#type' => 'action',
