Support

It seems that the Rules community is very tied up with getting Rules 3 past the alpha stage and thus it is difficult to get documentation and help for it. It is very challenging to find solution using Google, Youtube, Reddit, IRC and StackExchange (the usual ports-of-call)

Can we use this Discussion for people who are new to Rules, particularly to Rules for D8. The target audience are more site builders than coders.

We can also aggregate any links we might find online which may help.

Hi,

Since I updated to Drupal core 7.54 I have an issue with Rules.

The situation:
- I have an action component with parameter training_id;
- this action component loads a list of Entities from a VBO view using the training_id as filter;

Since the update I get the message:

Unable to get a data value. Error: Invalid data value given. Be sure it matches the required data type and format. Value at registration(): .

As far as I can see, the parameter training_id gets lost on the way.

I am really lost... I am trying to find a place that I can get help with my Rules issue. I am unable to refer a referenced node (a referenced content type) and all of it's fields back to my current node (current content type) like i was able to do very easily in Drupal 6's rules.

I feel like I'm looking at a very dynamic beast as compared to the simplicity of how D6's rules was designed.

Here is my issue: https://www.drupal.org/node/2825225

Hey!

After the user logged in I need get the entityform submission using his uid.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks!

Never use rules before and a bit lost there... here is what I'm trying to do. It may sounds a bit strange, but...

Drupal 7

I have two Webforms. let call it form1 and form2. Webform Rules module installed.

form1 is located on front page with two fields [name] and [email] .

form2 is a big form.

when submitting form1 the data transferred to form2, so the form2 has the [name] and [email] pre-filled. Data from form1 saved.... now, when user submits form2 we will have two different submissions from form1 and from form2 with the same [name] and [email]

A short description of the problem:
Settings: File System --> Defalut download method --> Private local files served by Drupal

A user copies the url of a private PDF-File (not his file) into the browser or the user has bookmarkt the url of the private PDF-Dokument, and clicks the bookmark. Especially the user does not come from a "normal" drupal-node.

I would like to trigger this event.

Background: When opening the pdf document, I would like to check the roles and permission of the user in a separate module.

Is there a way to trigger this event ?

Greetings

I am using Rules to send out reminder emails to users who have not logged in after X days, the idea being that we want them to come back and do stuff on our site.

These messages might get a bit monotonous, so it would be great if I could create a pool of possible messages to be sent with different copy or calls to action to re-engage users so they are not always getting the same messages.

Can Rules send a random message, like Views can display a random node of a type, when reacting on a certain event?

Hi

I have posted this in issue queue, but it got no attention, so try to get an answer here.
In my module I implement hook_rules_action_info few parameters including node and user.
It works, but only allows me to select from current logged in user on the action configuration screen. I want to be able to specify username and get a list of users to choose from. Same for the node - autocomplete only allows me to choose from current node while I want to see node autocomplete field where I can start typing node title and then select from list.
Is it possible? If yes - how to do that?

The Fluxkraft UI proposals (see the Milano 2015 presentation) got me thinking if BPMN2.0 could be used as an UI for rules. It would be cool if a standard like that could be used and there is a good JS version on github you can check the demon on github to see how BPMN interface looks and why Fluxkraft UI made me think of this.

Hi.
I'm currently trying to find out how to implement a rules, where at some point during its run the user should be asked for a decision.
A simple Yes/No would be enough.

For a start it would be enough to have the user decide whether to execute ther rule at all or not (which means, that this could be an outside process).

Nevertheless I would also need this during the execution of a rule.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks for any help.
