How to avoid a rule reacting on a passed date.

Posted by raslee on January 24, 2012 at 12:55pm

I have managed to get my rule to react on info from a date field placed in every user profile.

The thing is, if the date put in the date field is already passed, the rule will fire right away - even if the date is years ago.

In this case a user fills out the date of his sons birth. Let’s say the date is 1. January and the offset is 5 days and he fills out the date field today, the rule will react right away, because the date has passed, and the user will get a mail there no longer is of any importance to him.

So how do I avoid my rule reacting on dates that has already passed?

How scheduler can access other kind of content type

Posted by Quaizerman on January 24, 2012 at 6:27pm

Hi, friends.

I have a content type called ticket (in Drupal 7). One of its fields is STATUS.

When some user changes the status to SOLVED, RULES sends an email to another person.
This person has up to 2 days to change the status to CLOSED.
If not, the system (RULES) will change to CLOSED.

The problem is:

When I am creating a new component of scheduler, there is no option to select data from TICKET.
In the the block "variables", Data type doesn't show TICKET.
If I set the action to "SET A VALUE"... Nothing about TICKET.

Yeah, I am a newbie.

Change taxonomy term after a duration

Posted by aiphes on February 1, 2012 at 8:27am

I'm looking for a while a way to change term of a content after an elapsed time.In my ming , it could be great to give the choice of duration to user.
So user create a content and choose a term to highlight the content on homepage for a choosing duration (he can choose a date or a duration).
After that this is my rules idea but need correction i think.

1-create a ruleset "Duration of content and term" with argument on content, date, term
2- create a rule into ruleset with actions:
=> Charge taxonomy term : the new one
=> Charge taxonomy term : the actual one

VBO and Rules - Rules doesn't grab modified CCK field's values

Posted by ayesh on February 2, 2012 at 1:11am

Hello everyone,
I've setup a Views Bulk Operation page to modify a CCK number field on multiple nodes. Also I have a Rule set, on event "after updating existing content".

I want to update another (number)field in the modified node as soon as I update this CCK number field.

When I change the value of the CCK field using VBO, the Rule actually triggers. But it grabs the value of unchanged content. I'm already using tokens of "Saved content"
If I save the content again (Using VBO-provided "Save node" action), now Rule grabs new value.

Adding data value inside a loop

Posted by BrightBold on February 7, 2012 at 5:03pm

I'm surprised I cant' find this documented anywhere, so I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to set up functionality using OG and Rules where a project manager can close out a group at the end of a project, and as a result new fields would be revealed on the group content and different Views would show on the Group page. I was thinking to do this, I'd want the group content nodes to inherit the "closed" status when the project group is marked closed.

So I created the following rule:

Event:
After updating existing content

Use Drupal 7 rules to populate set multivalue user reference field with organic group members

Posted by jasonawant on February 15, 2012 at 4:54am

Hi,

Here's what I'm trying to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Upon saving new content, set a user reference field with all of the users that belong to the group content's audience that have the administrator member role.

Use case: We're using organic groups to manage committees. Then, we create evaluation nodes of these committees. Because the committee (group) membership changes, we want to save the group administrators to a user reference field within the evaluation node.

Here's what I'm trying to do with out the check on group member's user role.

Override form for data type

Posted by itangalo on February 15, 2012 at 6:26pm

I'd like to override the default form for the "boolean" data type in Rules (D7), and I've gotten as far as locating the interface RulesDataDirectInputFormInterface and the implementation RulesDataUIBoolean.

I only want to override the form when the data is used in a specific condition I'm writing, not for all places where booleans are used.
