Forum Triggers

BassistJimmyJam - March 3, 2009 - 16:53

My employer has asked me to have emails sent to our developers when a new post is published to a specific forum. I have added the action to send the email but I do not see a trigger that I can use to run the action without it running when any new node is published. Is there anyway to do what I am attempting without writing a module to add the trigger?

Thanks,

For more full featured actions and triggers checkout the http://drupal.org/project/rules module.

Have you solved it?

I need to do the same. Neither on the tutorial nor the rules module gave me the answer.

Subscriptions

I used the subscriptions module (http://drupal.org/project/subscriptions) to solve my needs.

I'll try it.

Rules

I need to do this as well. Has anyone found an acceptable solution? The problem with the Rules and Triggers modules (as far as I can see) is that they will send an email to a person if something is posted to ANY of the forums, not just a SPECIFIC forum.

I have 5 forums, and when a person posts to one of them, I would like an email sent to a specific person, based on the SPECIFIC forum.

I had to check, because I could have sworn rules had taxonomy conditions, but I didn't find any. In any case, you could either do it with a php action that checks which forum it is, or perhaps by adding content_taxonomy to turn taxonomy into fields and then checking for a field value on the condition.
