I am trying to attach zodiac signs (stored as terms in a vocabulary) to user profiles.

I have a rule with a "Set data field" action that, upon updating a user profile, sets account:field-user-zodiac (a term reference to a vocabulary with 12 terms, one for each sign of the zodiac) to an arbitrary sign (Capricorn) using direct input mode (a select box of all of the terms appears).

However, upon doing so, when I update a user profile I experience a white screen of death. Disabling the rule makes the site work normally again, so obviously the rule is the problem, but I don't know how to go about fixing it.

Again, I'm trying to use "Set data value" to set a term reference field in a user profile to an arbitrary term. Any insights about how to set this up in rules?

UPDATE (Feb. 2) I figured out how to enable PHP error reporting. The error is shown below.

I'm confused as to why the fatal error is "cannot redeclare getStarSign()", because getStarSign() is a function in my computed field, yet the part of the rule causing the white screen of death is the "set data value" action, which does not refer to the computed field; "set data value" sets the taxonomy reference field. I know this is the cause because if I delete the "set data value" action the error disappears. Any ideas?

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare getStarSign() (previously declared in /home/quickstart/websites/omj.dev/sites/all/modules/contrib/computed_field/computed_field.module(465) : eval()'d code:1) in /home/quickstart/websites/omj.dev/sites/all/modules/contrib/computed_field/computed_field.module(465) : eval()'d code on line 22

  • Please can you add the rules export?

  • Here is the rules export: { "rules_zodiac_set_up" : { "LABEL" : "Zodiac Set Up", "PLUGIN" : "reaction rule", "REQUIRES" : [ "rules" ], "ON" : [ "user_update" ], "DO" : [ { "data_set" : { "data" : [ "account:field-user-west-zodiac" ], "value" : "22" } } ] } } @WestieUK

    I trust what you described in your own answer solved your issue (or should I say "prevented it from happening". However if that term reference field was multi value field (was it?), then the cause of your issue might have been that you should not have used "Add an item to a list" instead of "set a data value". For more details about that, refer to my answer to this question.

I finally located the cause of this error. I was using a computed_field which was getting called in such a way that it was being re-declared, causing the error. Rewriting the function solved the problem.
