DrupalConCPH day 2 underway

Wolfgang Ziegler is presenting the Rules module, and is getting started...

Rules are reactions to events. Events, as we all know, are the basic function of calling a Drupal URL.

Rules 2- Drupal 7 only is the order of the day at this session.

Rules 2 retrieves all content from node metadata, taxonomy can also be metadata. A possible client to Rules2 could be e.g. Services Module.

Rules 2 supports arguments through a Data Selector, and through direct arguments from tokens, data selection and data processors. Data processing could be date-manipulated input, or e.g. Data being summed through arithmetic.

Looping over listed content is a primitive, and need not be handled through php loops handcoded. Lists also feature insertion and removal operations; list_remove, list_add etc.

Reuse and saved rules are copyable and configurable for each entity/copyable of the first implementation.
