drupal, rules, flag, date

Question

Hi,

Hope someone can advise.

I am using drupal 6.

I have a node called [classroom].

I would like to have a [vacancy register] associated with each classroom.

vacancy register is a cck type with: - uid - nid - join date

I would like for each user to [register] for a vacancy. I think I can use flag for this.

When a user joins, I can use rules to action an email to be sent to the user and the [classroom]->cck_email field.

1. I would like a rule schedule to also run every 30 days ( configurable ) to alert the user to confirm their [registration].

1a. If no registration is confirmed, then 14 days later, the user is [unregistered] from the classroom.

1b. If user confirms registration ( by clicking on a button or url ). then the rule 1 runs again.

I would like to confirms if my approach to this is correct.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers Ed

Answer 1

I haven't looked at the signup module for some time, but I think that might be a better module for your case. The flag module is a good choice too, but the signup module is more geared towards what you are doing. Users signing up for content like a classroom.

Hi Garrett, Graysid and googletorp

Thanks for responding. I have been playing around with signup, but there are the rules schedule aspect of it that I find hard customising to my liking.

I'm trying to write a rules event for signup_signup and signup_cancel, then action it through rules schedule. But there a bit of existing signup code I have to look through.

Have to do too much custom work to signup, so I thought, its easier to just do it with rules and flags. The downside is having to also create the UI for it.

For the signup module,

I have the following rules event.

Could this be reviewed please.

http://drupal.org/node/298549

function signup_rules_event_info() { return array( 'signup_signup' => array( 'label' => t('User signups to classroom'), 'module' => 'Signup', 'arguments' => array( 'userA' => array('type' => 'user', 'label' => t('UserA, which adds userB.')), 'userB' => array('type' => 'user', 'label' => t('UserB, which is added to >UserA\'s list.')), ), ), ); }

I don't know what to do with the arguments list.

Thanks in advance. Ed
