Creating a rule to populate a node based on a user I just created

By flawsome on 27 Aug 2012 at 12:25 UTC

Right, here's what I want to do:

After having created a user with a specific role ("Advertiser") I would like to have a node (with a content type called "Advertiser") created.

This works fine, but how would I go about automagically populating the user id of the Advertiser entity?

Assuming I have to create a field of type Entity Reference in my Advertiser entity, but what else?

I've installed Rules and Entity Reference modules.

Any help is appreciated.

I assume you are using the event "After saving a new user account". And then using a condition to check the role.

In the actions, you create an entity of node with type "Advertiser". You must enter a title and author. Perhaps the title is the same name as the user. The Author would be [account] (the new user account). You don't really need an additional entity reference if you use the author user id.
