| Jul 11, 2014 at 13:51 | comment | added | Igor | Yeah sorry for the lack of clarity... The problem is not that Rules doesn't know the exact Node ID, the problem is that most fields that I need in order to set up my Actions are not available in the Data Selector. And I cannot add a condition (e.g. the entity contains such field) without first adding an event involving the node containing the fields I need (which I do not want to do). Anyway, I don't want to waste more of your time, thanks again for your efforts, greatly appreciated! | |

Sorry but I can't precisely understand the problem. Is it that Rules don't know the exact Node ID that was active when the event was triggered? In this case I would write a small custom module, define a custom rules event with hook_rules_event_info(). Then use hook_form_alter() to define another custom submit function, in which manually invoke this event and call the original submit handler.

However, when adding it, the system requires to enter all the fields again, which I cannot do for the reasons mentioned above. Again, thanks a lot for the suggestion! | |

| Jul 11, 2014 at 9:56 | comment | added | Igor | That's exactly what I've been trying to do but if I remove the event "content is viewed", I cannot select "node" in the condition's data selector. And if I do try to enter "node", the system tells me "Data selector node for parameter entity is invalid". In other words, it's like a cascade: I have to add a condition to display the fields I need in the actions' section but first I need to select an event involving the node containing these fields in order for this node to be accessible in the conditions' section (which is not what I want). Hope it's not too confusing put that way...thanks a lot! | |
