I need help understanding data selectors

Posted by steenbob on August 29, 2011 at 7:36pm

Hi!

I'm trying to use data selectors in Rules 2.0 on Drupal 7.x. It seems like a very promising feature, but I feel like I really don't understand enough about it.

a) Can I only use the data that appears in the list dynamically, or can I access any data as long as I understand the syntax?

b) How exactly does the syntax work and what does it mean?

Thanks!
Ben

Changing Data Value using PHP code / Fetch by Property in Rule Action - D7

Posted by aeava on August 30, 2011 at 4:39pm

I've ran into the following issue in Drupal 7:

I need to be able to, upon saving a new (or existing) node, set one of the fields with the value of a field of another node (of different type). The field type is node_reference. These is my current setup:

Event -> Before Saving Content
Condition -> Data Comparison: [node:type] -> TYPEA
Condition -> PHP Code:
$result = db_query('SELECT 1 FROM {field_data_field_myfield} n WHERE n.bundle=:mybundle AND n.field_myfield_value=:myvalue', array(':mybundle' => 'TYPEB',':myvalue'=>'[node:field_myfield]'));

Rule condition: if field is empty?

Scenario: The member has completed the Annual Certification requirement. Change the OG Group membership from 'Intern' to 'Tech', if this is their first time Certification. Confirmation that this is their first Certification comes from verifying that the Previous Years field is empty.

Field previous_years is a multiple values CCK field. Do you see anything wrong with my php code? It should Return '1', if the field is empty.

ON event After updating existing content

IF...
Updated content is type XYZ
AND
Updated content's field is 'certified_year'
AND

Action firing before node id saved to DB

Posted by michaelsilverman on September 2, 2011 at 10:59pm

Created an Action and set it to be triggered by the "After saving new content" event.

The Action reads all the nodes of the type just created and puts certain fields into an XML file. It works except the node created is missing. It appears that it has not yet been written to the DB.

The log (see attachment) shows that my Action is firing before the node is Saved.

Is there a way to have an Action trigger after the node is saved?

Thanks,
Michael.

Rounding converted currency values

Posted by ka_ on September 3, 2011 at 7:21am

I have just created a rule that converts a value from one currency to another for Drupal Commerce
The rule is triggered by "Calculating the sell price of a product"
with the condition "Data compare" on [commerce-line-item:commerce-unit-price:currency-code] = "
and actions: "Convert the unit price to a different currency" and "Multiply the unit price by some amount".

So far so good, however I intend to ensure the value is always rounded upwards to the next value without decimals.

2.A mail wiil go to admin & editor that "xyz content is pending for unpublish"

"Learn Rules" screencast series started!

Posted by itangalo on September 5, 2011 at 12:41pm

I have at last started recording a new screencast series, introducing and eventually going quite deep into Rules for Drupal 7.

I have previously made a screencast series about Rules 1 (for D6), but the differences between Rules 1 and Rules 2 are so big that a new screencast series is quite motivated.

Provide more "data selectors" for machine names

I am trying to do the following : create a new vocabulary every time a specific content type is created.

How to publish a revision with a rule but without the "publish revision" permission is checked ?

Posted by ibozo on September 13, 2011 at 5:18pm

Hi,

I'm trying to explain my problem.

I configured a workflow with several states, users and activate the revisioning module.
I don't used triggers, only the rules module

Ok
In my case, a simple user can save some contents and an email is sended to another user to validate them.
But, for some minor updates content, I want this user can publish directly theses update on the site (bypassing the workflow)

For that, I added a checkbox (publish directly) in my content type (a CCK field -> field_pub_directe) and in a rule to check and publish the content.

stuck with "Specify the fields value with PHP code"
