I built a module so my users can subscribe to events (sample site www.theblizzardofodds.com) the fields in the nodes have 2 values... 1) is a name 2) is a value like -3... When the event posts I want to notify the users of their result/s. My module works, (in terms of getting that data submitted as a node) but I am looking for another way because Flag & Rules can do most of the heavy lifting. As I am stuck trying to reference the events to the submitted data when the event posts.

More info there are 5 fields in each of my "menu" nodes 1 field is a text list w/ 3 settings and after it is set my module using switch statements knows how to apply the value to 2 of the other fields they are for example -3 or 3 and the name of the field is attached. The other 2 nodes are totals example over 42 or under 42

Best case I want to set up Flags so the user's may select one or more then when the result posts using Rules I would like it to a) send messages to the users of their result and b) keep their records

Will this module do something like that?

I am sorry, you have to explain a little bit more, I do not really understand your usage.

Thank you for looking into this I am currently exploring MySQL and so far it's not as difficult to learn vs. PHP (which I am teaching myself) so I guess I will chug along for a wile with that. I need to learn it anyway again thank you for looking into this and regardless if I am successful or not I will update this post in a week or two have a great weekend!

I figured it out! I abandoned the module I wrote and used Views, Page Manager, Flag & Rules to create the functionality and it works! You may check it out free at theblizzardofodds.com ?

Currently I am working on ways to restrict and limit the amount of flags specifically I am looking for a way to limit users on the amount of flagging per content type.

More info:

I have a view that displays 50 node titles of the same content type and I want to create a component so users may flag (using VBO) a limit of 5 only? After that I may clone the component and change it from 5 to 1 or 10 or 20 this way I may apply these components to more views assigning them inside a VBO field? So if you know of anything that may help me out please let me know? Have a very nice weekend!
