I have a rules link connected to, and exposed on a node with a certain bundle type. When I add a comment to that node it fires the conditions of my rules link. If I understand correctly, the rules link should only fire once it is clicked?

Once I add a comment to this node, In my reports-recent log messages i see this;

Rules debug information:
" Executing and Rules link: test rule link condition.
0 ms Executing and Rules link: test rule link condition.
12.719 ms AND evaluated to TRUE.
12.816 ms Finished executing of and Rules link: test rule link condition.

This is the automatic condition rule which was created with my rule link. It has no conditions, only a variable of node type.

Still having problems here. The rules link fires when the node is loaded, it also fires when i look at a view of teasers. It pretty much fires anytime there is a focus on the particular content, it's like it is firing on a "when loaded or when exposed" action rather than a "when clicked" action.

The access conditions of the rules link is evaluated for every node, to determine if the link should be rendered. The Reaction components are not evaluated.

I'm having the same issue here, actually - it'd be great to get the links to only fire when clicked, but I wouldn't know where to start myself. Anyone made any progress before I dive in?

I'm using Rules Link with Content Access, granting permissions, so the links really shouldn't fire without a clear and specific click in this case.

Would it work to use a flag that triggers the (hidden) Rules Link when flagged, and runs the opposite rule (revoke access) when unflagged? Testing. Thoughts still welcome.

[edit] Starting to think it's not a bug now, rather the Rules log is just reporting that the Rules Links are just being loaded. When I actually click on one of the links, the log shows:

> Executing rule set Rules link: 'my rule' set

Whereas when loading the links onto the page it just says:

> Executing and Rules link: 'my rule' condition

So it's merely testing for the condition. I could set a condition to a certain page the view loads on to save it checking elsewhere, and I think that would wrap this up. Will leave open a little longer in case any one has any thoughts.

[edit2] Sepgil's comment from last year actually makes sense now that I know what I know. Definitely marking as fixed now. Hope this at least stops anyone else worrying about the issue/non-issue.
