Using the modules "rules" and "rules linkevent" I am trying to get drupal to automatically assign a new role to the user upon visiting a certain page.

I've written it like this/entered the following values and selected these options:

-

Events Event
levelup2 was accessed

-

Conditions Elements

User has role(s) Parameter: User: [site:current-user], Roles: authenticated user

-

Actions Elements

Add user role Parameter: User: [site:current-user], Roles: Level 2

What am I doing wrong or how could I alternatively make the user accessing the page, reading the page or another trigger I can make be granted a new role?

I have tried searching the net but have found no answers. Can anyone help?

The Rules Path and Rules URL Argument modules trigger events based on the current URL being viewed.

You could also use the Rules Link module to generate a custom link that will trigger your rules. The catch here is that this specific link must be clicked to access the page and the user I believe must be signed in.

If you need fine tuned control over when the Rules event is triggered you could even implement your own Rules Event.

  • Thank you for the reply! Sadly I still can't seem to get it right. I set the event to "url" was visited. I set the path (in conditions) to "check url" and set it to the given page. I set the action to "grant role" Yet it does not seem to work?

  • You may need to use the system path instead of an alias. I've also added drupal.org/project/rules_url_argument to the answer above. :)

  • Still can't get it to work. I've tried button fields.. I've tried all the modules you suggest but yet I can't seem to find a way to activate a trigger that is only placed on one specific node. Neither of the sites work with URL (Neither custom page nor a node). I think I might be better off asking someone to write the necessary code for a new custom module.. This is horrible o.O Have spent +10 hours on this single problem now

  • I will mark this post as answered simply because it should answer most other users questions in relation to this. I might just be an idiot for not getting it to work

You could use page manager with the rules bonus pack to achieve what you want. Watch this screen cast: http://vimeo.com/25153525
