I am trying to use the triggers on drupal 6 and have setup an action. When users are logged in I want to redirect them. I specify a node/xxx but it doesn’t work.
I have also tried the login destination module and put this code in to direct users.
global $user;
if ($user->uid == 1) {
// Redirect the Administrator
return ‘admin’;
} elseif ($user->uid == 2) {
// Redirect the Site Owner to the ‘create content’ page
return ‘node/add’;
} elseif ($user->uid == 3) {
//redirect sti users
echo uid;
return ‘node/xx’;
} else {
return ‘node’;
}

I have event tried to specify a static URL using login destintation.
That doesn’t work either.

Ideally I need to redirect users according to roles but a simple redirect per user if it worked would help.

Is it possible to trigger an action based on a date in a content record? For example, suppose I have created a content type called “Projects” that includes a Date field called “Deadline”. I want to be able to send an email when the current date is equal to the value of the date in that field — or better yet, when the current date is X days before the deadline date. If the latter isn’t possible, I could always add another field called Reminder Date and have the trigger look at that field…

Thanks!

Hi,

When using actions and triggers on Drupal 6 I (the admin) get an email notification even when I post a comment with the admin user account, do you know how to disable this ? I don’t want to be notified of my own comments.

Thanks a lot.

How can I trigger an event on a node “Publish”??
I have a setup where anonymous users can submit articles, but they are approved by the admin. The admin schedules the approved articles for future publish. I need to send a tokenised email to the user when the article is published.
This seems to be a fairly basic requirement, but i cant seem to find how to do it. I had this working fine in drupal 4.x.
Please help.

Is there any way to make a role change a trigger. My client has a database of users, some of them lapsed clients, who are blocked users. When they register for his conference, he changes their role from blocked to active and adds a role. When that happens, he’d like it to automatically trigger a modified version of the first registration letter, including password and basic instructions. So far all we can figure out to do is delete the existing user and re-add them, which is insanely cumbersome. Any suggestions?

Is it possible to use the Trigger module to trigger a change in User Role upon activation? I would like to be able to promote my users to new roles after completing a quiz.

Nice and simple, perhaps too simple.

I am trying to find out how to email notify a page is changed and the flag translation as outdated checkbox is unticked.

Any Ideas

Hi Doug – glad you liked the tutorial!

As for doing comment notification for readers, I don’t think the triggers and actions features can go as far as the notify plugin – you’re basically restricted to a manually entered email address.

As well as that, there’s no way to get the consent of the other commenters. You’d ideally want an opt-in button so that people can choose to subscribe to comments. You’re probably better off with the Notify module to be honest.

This is a great tutorial. I’m curious whether you’ve been able to set up something similar to comment notify – http://drupal.org/project/comment_notify – with Drupal 6. I’d really like both the node author and anyone that has left a comment to receive an email update when someone makes a new comment on a node. I can get the node author part working, by setting the recipient to “%author” – but I can’t figure out how to also alert anyone that has commented on the node. If you have any ideas, I’d love to know!

Thanks again for sharing this tutorial.

I’d be flattered to be a part of Drupal Planet, especially because I don’t think there are enough easy to grasp tutorials for the platform.

Any idea how to get included?
