I feel like I'm going crazy, but where is the action for "promote node to front page?"

I had a version installed a few months back, but now it is not in my actions list.

Is there a reference where people post custom actions, or am I missing something entirely?

Thanks,

-Jesse

The promote node to front page action is part of the default actions in actions.inc.

Actions snippets are at http://drupal.org/node/48737

I looked through the inc file and found all the actions that were supposed to be available. However, these are the only ones showing up in my /admin/actions page:

-Change Node Author
-Send Email
-Display Message to Current User

I also have a "create an action scheduling action" option in there, obviously from the sched-act module. I installed this after actions, and before that I was only getting the three action options.

Not sure if I need to change the actions.inc in some way. I do see actions like "promote node" and "unpromote node" and "publish node," etc. But I do not see them in the gui where they would be usable.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You can resynchronize the actions that are available by going to /admin/actions/orphan.

I seem to have fixed the problem. I took a look at the database tables and there were no action tables there. I ran the install script and it inserted the tables and now the actions are present.

Not sure why this didn't install the tables when I installed the module. Might be a bug, but more probably a problem on my end (especially if nobody else if having this same issue).

I'm closing since, even if it was a bug in the module, it was not the original problem of this issue.

Thanks for everyone's help.
