Exportable triggers and actions [#1113126]

Would be awesome if there were a way to export configured events (trigger + actions) from the database. This would need to work for any category/module that integrates with triggers (eg Comment triggers, Content triggers, Cron triggers, Organic Groups triggers, Taxonomy triggers, Users triggers, Workflow triggers).

Was unable to find much on this topic via google and d.o searches. I also dont know much about the progression of triggers and actions module for d7 to address long term feasibility of implementing this. Thoughts?

Updated patch adds a hook_features_rebuild() implementation. Rebuilding does not delete existing trigger_assignments but does create new ones.

Hey q0rban,

Would there be a patch for D6 for this?

@AlfTheCat, nope, I don't have one. Care to try your hand at rolling one? It shouldn't be that hard, the database API stuff will be a little tricky, but that's it.

Thanks q0rban, since I haven't gotten into D7 at all yet (waiting on more functionality) I have little faith in my own abilities for such an attempt at this point :)

When I do I'll try.

Thanks again!

The patch may work as is by simply rewriting all the DBTNG stuff as D6 db_query()'s. The trickiest one to solve will be the db_merge(), but you can do a db_query("UPDATE..."); if (!db_affected_rows()) { db_query("INSERT..."); } there. You can do it! Give it a shot. :)

thanks q0rban, I just tested and it seems to export triggers quite well.
any hope on getting "actions" exportable too ?

My trigger assignment was exported as follow:

/**
 * Implements hook_trigger_default_trigger_assignments().
 */
function aat_campaigns_feature_trigger_default_trigger_assignments() {
  $assignments = array();

  // Exported trigger assignment: info_pack_insert-280
  $assignments['info_pack_insert-280'] = array(
    'hook' => 'info_pack_insert',
    'aid' => '280',
    'weight' => '1',
    'status' => '1',
    'name' => 'info_pack_insert-280',
  );

  return $assignments;
}

This is only the assignment, but the information about the action available at: admin/config/system/actions/configure/280 has been lost.

This include Label and some specified settings (for Email e.g. Recipient, Subject, Message).
Those settings are stored in {actions} table.
