Custom Rules Actions

Using hook_rules_action_info()

This example provides two new actions:

  • Delete field_collection_item
  • Clear Drupal messages by type

Custom Rules Conditions

Using hook_rules_condition_info()

This example provides four new Drupal Rules conditions:

  • Is cron running
  • Is during password reset
  • Is destination set in URL
  • Is during OAuth

References:

<?php
/**
* Implements hook_rules_condition_info().
*
* http://www.drupalcontrib.org/api/drupal/contributions!rules!rules.api.php/function/hook_rules_condition_info/7
*/
function custom_rules_rules_condition_info() {
return array(
'custom_rules_is_cron_running' => array(
'label' => t('Is cron running'),
'group' => t('Custom Rules'),
),
'custom_rules_is_during_password_reset' => array(
'label' => t('Is during password reset'),
'group' => t('Custom Rules'),
),
'custom_rules_is_destination_set' => array(
'label' => t('Is destination set in URL'),
'group' => t('Custom Rules'),
),
'custom_rules_is_during_oauth' => array(
'label' => t('Is during OAuth'),
'group' => t('Custom Rules'),
),
);
}
/**
* Condition - is cron running?
*
* @return bool
*/
function custom_rules_is_cron_running(){
$cron_expires = db_query("SELECT `expire` FROM {semaphore} WHERE `name` = 'cron' LIMIT 1")->fetchField();
if ( $cron_expires && $cron_expires > microtime(TRUE) ) {
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}
/**
* Condition - is a user password currently being reset?
*
* @return bool
*/
function custom_rules_is_during_password_reset(){
return (arg(0) == 'user' && arg(1) == 'reset');
}
/**
* Condition - destination set in url query
*
* @return bool
*/
function custom_rules_is_destination_set(){
return isset( $_GET['destination'] );
}
/**
* Condition - Check if user is being processed through oauth
*
* @return bool
*/
function custom_rules_is_during_oauth(){
return (
// on oauth route itself
arg(0) == 'oauth2' ||
// or logging in using the form
( isset( $_GET['destination'] ) &&
stripos( $_GET['destination'], 'oauth2' ) !== FALSE )
);
