Hi,

I searched the issue queue but I haven't found anything which really helped me...

I want to provide my users a specific “user settings” page which I realized by creating a new content type “usersettings” and categorized this content type as a “content profile” via the content profile module.
Like this for every user exact one node of the “user settings” type can be created. I create this via rules after user creation.
I added several checkboxes to this content type to give the user the possibility to control some settings (E.g. “Email me if I receive a new Private Message”, “Email me if I have a new friend request”, etc.)
I was able to create the above rules successfully (Email on privatemsg, email on friendrequest) based on the rules provided by the modules.

What I want to achieve now, is to take the “user settings” as a condition for the above rules like this:
- Event: User gets privatemsg
- Condition: User checked cck field “send me an email on new privatemsg) = true
- Action: Send user an email

Is there a possibility to read out the value of a cck field of a node of a specific content type of a specific user which is given in the event and use this value as a condition.

Thank you for your suggestions….

Regards,
Ben

Yep, it's already possible by using the "load content profile" action. Then you have the data accessible and you can check it by using usual conditions.

Hi Fago,

thank you for helping out, but unfortunately I don't get it done.

I added as described the "load content profile" action and choose my "user settings" content type. If I understand you correctly, the conditions for node types like "field has value" should be available then while adding conditions.
Unfortunately they aren't...

What do I miss? To understand better my current rules settings I added the exported rule.

Thank you

Regards

Ben

Please test with the latest versions of both modules and report back.

Finally coming back to this:

Unfortunately it still doesn't work as well with the latest versions...

I load the content profile type successfully due to the log, but cannot access the values...

I think the problem ist that the workflow i like that:

1. Trigger: Send a message
2. Condition: Check truth value, if user wants email about message
3. Action 1: Load user profile
4. Action 2: Send Email

The order should be

1. Trigger: Send a message
2. Action 1: Load user profile
3. Condition: Check truth value, if user wants email about message
4. Action 2: Send Email

Can sb give me a hint how to achieve this? Unfortunately I don't understand too much about the rule sets concept, so I'm not sure if using them might help...

Thank you...
Ben

Hi bensemmel,
you could use a ruleset for this I think. Load the user profile in the rule and pass the variable to a ruleset where you check the condition and send the email if true.
cheers,

Hi criz,

thank you for the hint. I dived a little bit deeper into rule sets and after understanding the logic behind the arguments, I achieved what I wanted to do by following your suggestion...

Thank you very much.
