Am I missing something obvious? [#297242]

Hello,

I'm trying to create an action, but I think I'm missing something obvious. The Writing Actions tutorial (http://drupal.org/node/156754) says that I can create a new action like this:

function yourmodule_action_info() {
  return array(
    'yourmodule_action_node_set_author' => array(
      '#label' => t('Set the content author'),
      '#arguments' => array(
        'node' => array('#entity' => 'node', '#label' => t('Content')),
        'author' => array('#entity' => 'user', '#label' => t('User, which is set as author')),
      ),
      '#module' => t('Node'),
    ),
  );
}

So I change "your_module" to "profile" (since I have profile module installed), and put this in template.php:

function profile_action_info() {
  return array(
    'profile_action_node_set_author' => array(
      '#label' => 'Test',
      '#arguments' => array(
        'node' => array('#entity' => 'node', '#label' => t('Content')),
        'author' => array('#entity' => 'user', '#label' => t('User, which is set as author')),
      ),
      '#module' => t('Node'),
    ),
  );
}

Now when I want to add an action, "Test" under Node doesn't show up. What am I missing here?

Thanks,
Andrey.

I just changed the code to:

function profile_action_info() {
  return array(
    'profile_action_test' => array(
      '#label' => 'Test',
      '#arguments' => array(
        'node' => array('#entity' => 'node', '#label' => t('Content')),
        'author' => array('#entity' => 'user', '#label' => t('User, which is set as author')),
      ),
      '#module' => t('Node'),
    ),
  );
}

... since I thought that _action_node_set_author might already be taken. It still doesn't show up.

I also tried setting it to:

function profile_action_info() {
  return array(
    'profile_action_test' => array(
      '#label' => 'Test',
      '#arguments' => array(),
      '#module' => t('Node'),
    ),
  );
}

... in case '#arguments' was limiting the visibility in some kind of way.

I'm trying to do this "on node update" event. Does that have something to do with it?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Andrey.
