attached is a patch, which brings workflow-ng integration to node hierarchy. it just adds a condition to check whether a node has a parent and an action, which allows one to load parent nodes for any content. This enables one, to use any rule / action on the parent.

This might be useful in a lot of cases. My use case is is setting custom breadcrumbs with tokens, that are not available for parents else. So I load the parent node with workflow-ng and then I use the tokens of the parent with the brand new workflow-ng action "Set breadcrumb" .

patch attached.

Patch looks clean and seems to work, so I've committed it. I can't really verify functionality because I don't totally understand the use case. I'm very interested in what you're doing though, so if you wouldn't mind describing your technique I'd love to hear more about it.

Thanks again
Ronan

thanks.

I use workflow-ng to set the breadcrumb for nodes. This is done by a rule like this one:

array (
  'cfg_142' => 
  array (
    '#active' => 1,
    '#altered' => false,
    '#module' => 'workflow-ng',
    '#event' => 'node_view',
    '#id' => 1,
    '#weight' => '0',
    '#label' => 'Set breadcrumb for child nodes',
    '#type' => 'configuration',
    0 => 
    array (
      '#type' => 'condition',
      '#name' => 'workflow_ng_condition_check_boolean',
      '#weight' => '-2',
      '#label' => 'Content is displayed as page',
      '#id' => 2,
      '#argument map' => 
      array (
        'page' => 'boolean',
      ),
    ),
    1 => 
    array (
      '#label' => 'Content is a child',
      '#name' => 'nodehierarchy_has_parent',
      '#type' => 'condition',
      '#id' => 3,
      '#argument map' => 
      array (
        'node' => 'node',
      ),
    ),
    2 => 
    array (
      '#id' => 4,
      '#type' => 'action',
      '#weight' => '-10',
      '#name' => 'nodehierarchy_action_load',
      '#argument map' => 
      array (
        'node' => 'node',
      ),
      '#new arguments' => 
      array (
        'node_parent' => 
        array (
          '#entity' => 'node',
          '#label' => 'Parent content',
          '#default_name' => 'node_parent',
        ),
      ),
    ),
    3 => 
    array (
      '#id' => 5,
      '#name' => 'workflow_ng_action_set_breadcrumb',
      '#type' => 'action',
      '#settings' => 
      array (
        'titles' => '[node:hierarchyparenttitle]
[node:title]',
        'titles_args' => 
        array (
          0 => 'node',
        ),
        'paths' => 'node/[node_parent:nid]
node/[node:nid]',
        'paths_args' => 
        array (
          0 => 'node',
          1 => 'node_parent',
        ),
      ),
    ),
    '#name' => 'cfg_142',
  ),
)

You can import it and try it yourself with the fresh workflow-ng 2.0. So with this, now one can easily use other tokens, that are not available by node hierarchy's token integration, e.g. a term of the parent.
However, it doesn't build the full hierarchy automatically. If you have grandparents, you would need to configure an action "load grandparent".

That's a really cool implementation, thanks for sharing that back.
