How to use rules to compare a field from the node with a specific Organic Group?

I am using rules event after saving new content of type X. Now I need to specify if in the field field_group the value is a specific group.

I am able to get the field of the node, but have no clue how to be able to compare it with a group I want.

  • "compare a field from the node with a specific group" specific group name? or group users?

Ok, lets assume that your group name is called "Pokemon"

1) Under Conditions, click on Add Condition.

2) In the drop down, select TEXT COMPARISON

3) Click on the Blue Link that says (DATA SELECTORS)

4) Look for your field, if you named it "group", then look for node:field-group

then highlight it, copy and paste it under Data Selector*

7) Under Matching Text put Pokemon

8) click SAVE

Note: obviously, replace Pokemon with your actual group name.

  • Hey, thx for the reply (i wanted to give you a vote but still not allowed) you answer works only thing step 4) should be node:field-group:title just for those that needed it to still if anyone knows another way i would like to know it (even if it is in script or patch) cause this is a nice temp solution but not perfect.

  • @TomVanMinsel if you want equals to, you could use DATA COMPARISON instead of text comparison. for DATA VALUE you can click on switch to direct input mode and then put your number on the field.

  • @TomVanMinsel for custom value, you need to click on the switch to direct input mode button. (it's a small grey button).
