Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I would like to no if its possible to automatically run a vbo without the admins input. I no i can render the vbo on a page using php i would like to take it one step further however and run the vbo automatically once you are on the page without the admin having to click a button for the vbo to run
thank you

infojunkiePlease explain the scenario in more detail. How can the action be executed before nodes are selected?
Not sure if it's related, but the dev version exposes an action called "Execute a VBO programmatically" that lets you select a VBO and an operation. This action can be called by Trigger or Rules, and it will apply the selected operation on all view results.

galis007 commentedThanks very much i think this is exactly what i was looking for i uploaded the dev module and i exposed the execute a vbo programmatically i now see that option in actions and have created my action but i am not seeing it in the rules not sure if im overlooking it or maybe im missing something. I figure the action i created should be under system in the dropdown menu. I am using rules-6.x-1.1

infojunkieSupport for Rules needed some new code to be written in VBO. I just committed a fix so check out the latest dev (12 hours from now or from CVS directly). When you create a new rule, you should find the VBO action under a separate "Views Bulk Operations" section.

galis007 commentedthanks for the update kratib just installed it though and im not seeing the vbo action nor the new section
Comment #5
infojunkieMake sure the file views_bulk_operations.rules.inc is present in your folder.
Make sure there are no other versions of VBO lying around.
Refresh all caches :-)
