Some Rules tricks I wish I knew

Submitted by nk on Thu, 2011-09-29 04:25

In Drupal 7 many times (in my case, it's a userpoints transaction) all you have is an entity but you want it to be, say, a node and you want to reach node properties and fields. If you add a condition, entity is type node, then the next condition will magically know the entity is node. Second, for actions the first thing you want to do is add a variable (this I learned at the relation presentation at London!) and after that you can use [some_node:field-foo] which previously you couldn't.

Is this what "Components" are? I'm still trying to get my head around the new rules features too.

I just had a really good IRC discussion with chx. Rules is a black box to many developers, and its user interface is in many cases far from intuitive.

I hope to contribute to helping both of these problems. Meanwhile, I'm posting tutorials on how to use Rules – which is a module that I consider as complex (and possibly as powerful) as Views: http://nodeone.se/node/984

I hope the videos can be of help.
