Add rules integration for RealName

Maybe you could add a Rule that when a Profile2 profile updated, to re-save the user account object. Otherwise we could provide some kind of reaction for 'Update a user's real name'.

Hello,

Maybe you could add a Rule that when a Profile2 profile updated, to re-save the user account object. Otherwise we could provide some kind of reaction for 'Update a user's real name'.

For me I can not do that. When I chose profile on rules I can not chose in the action "re save user account"

Thanks for any help

If you update to Realname 7.x-1.0, you should have an action 'Update real name' available.

Hello Thanks for your fast answer.

If you update to Realname 7.x-1.0, you should have an action 'Update real name' available.

I have test it with 7.x.1.0 and the dev version.For me both have no action called "Update real name".

What I did:

Create a rule with name "update realname" and give a value for "React on event " with "After updating an existing profile".
Then I save. Now I have no "Update real name" under "actions".

Do I something wrong?

Thanks for any help

Hello,

Please....can anyone tell how I can find the action "Update real name" or how I can create such a rule?
I really need this feature.

Best regards
Frank

In Realname 7.x-1.0, the action 'Update real name' is not available in rules.

Dave Reid, could you tell us how you made it available?

thanks

Hmmm....

has anyone solve this issue?

@sp-drupy

Did you find this rule? For me there is no way to find it.

If Rules module lacks a way to connect a profile2 object to its root user account object, then that would be a bug in profile2.

@ Fraweg:
no I couldn't find it...

@ Dave Reid:
I thought you proposed this solution because you tested it already and indeed could find this action under rule.

Might be an issue with profile 2 as you said.

I do not use Rules, so it was an assumption and something I would expect works out of the box.

Transferring this issue to the Profile2 module. Could a maintainer there please reply on how you can create a rule that responds to after a profile2 entity is updated, to invoke an action on the user account object that the profile2 belongs to?

Ok I installed profile2 and rules to test this out and it seems that Rules doesn't want to pick up anything that already exists in hook_action_info() and we now have to add yet another hook, realname_rules_action_info(). Will fix in Realname 7.x-1.x now. When this lands you should be able to create a rule like the following:

{ "rules_rule_update_realname" : {
    "LABEL" : "Update Real name",
    "PLUGIN" : "reaction rule",
    "REQUIRES" : [ "realname", "profile2" ],
    "ON" : [ "profile2_update" ],
    "DO" : [ { "user_realname_update" : { "account" : [ "profile2:user" ] } } ]
  }
}

Patch against RealName 7.x-1.x for review.

On more review, it seems that this is only a problem if you're using the 'Profile2 Pages' module. Otherwise updating a profile does actually clear the username automatically.

Committed #18 to 7.x-1.x: http://drupalcode.org/project/realname.git/commit/6fc61d5

Hi!

indeed I am using "profile2 pages". Does your patch fixes the problem in this case? or is it better not to use profile2 pages?

Thanks for looking at this issue.

Hello Dave,

thanks so much for your work! With the dev-version and the rule the name will be updated!

But there is one another issue. I will explain it:

When I update the name, save the profile and close it I will redirect to the userpage. But the page is is not available. Only the "old" page is available. For example:

- The name is "frank" at first time when I activate the realname-module and has the path "http://example.net/users/frank"
- I change the name to "frank1" I will redirect to "http://example.net/users/frank1" but only the path "http://example.net/users/frank" exist.
- I change the name to "frank2" I will redirect to "http://example.net/users/frank2" but only the path "http://example.net/users/frank1" exist.
- I change the name to "frank3" I will redirect to "http://example.net/users/frank3" but only the path "http://example.net/users/frank2" exist.

and so on.

Have you an idea how to fix that?

Best regards
Frank

The following could be useful and is related to the subject:

If you use Views Bulk Operations module together with the Views module, you will see that there is an option there called " Update real name (realname_action_realname_update)".

Hello sp-drupy,

can you explain a little bit more in witch case you use "Views Bulk Operations" in combination with user profiles and realname? I'am new in that.

Thanks a lot
Frank

Ok. I will start a new issue. I think the feature request is solved...

After uninstalling this module everytime I save a view, the site goes down and I found this on my dblog

1 orphaned actions (realname_action_realname_update) exist in the actions table.
