Hi,

I have cck content type like a webform, but I build it with cck, because I want to be able to use the content as a node.
I have looked into rules and have the following questions.
1) Is it possible with rules to file an email to the anonymous user on Submitting the content of this specific contenttype?
2) How can I let the user type in his emailaddress, but with submit the emailadres is not saved in the node-content on view?
3) Would it be possible to use the cck_field email for this?
4) If so, what would the rule look like using to email the anonymous user a thank you by submitting the content?

Thanks a lot in advance for your reply!
Greetings, Martijn

Hi,
I can answer 2 and 3 after more investigation myself:
2) How can I let the user type in his emailaddress, but with submit the emailadres is not saved in the node-content on view?
The cck email fieldtype can be set hidden on node teaser and full node, then email is not shown!
3) Would it be possible to use the cck_field email for this?
Yes cck_field email has rules integration!

Standing questions:
1) Is it possible with rules to file an email to the anonymous user on Submitting the content of this specific contenttype?
4) If so, what would the rule look like using to email the anonymous user a thank you by submitting the content?

Thanks a lot still for your reply!, greetings, Martijn

Hi,

Thank you for your post. I'm using a "form" content type with many cck fields, then I use it as a node, just like you.
I need to email all the entries in this form to the writer when he submits it. Therefore I'm really interested in the solutions you've found.
Can we theme the template of the email like in webform ?

Best regards.

Hi, its very easy, look into rules and see the tokens which are there to extend and change the message as a format.

Martijn, if you figured out how to do this, please let me know.

I want an anonymous user to be able to sign up for 3 different "notifications"... each type refers to a different content type getting submitted. When a given piece of content gets submitted, a simple email should go out to the anonymous users who have entered their email address for that particular notification.

Thanks for any help

Hi, Martijn:

I'm interested in knowing how you did this. I'm attempting to use Rules to add a new taxonomy term based on the creation of a node of a specific content type. I appreciate your help.

Wow. Rules really is amazing & intuitive! Sorry, Martijn, but your help won't be necessary.

For those wondering, here are the steps I took to trigger an action (specifically create a new taxonomy term) when a specific node type is created:

1. Add a new "Triggered Rule" with an appropriate label & set the Event to "After saving new content." Click "save changes."
2. On the next screen, click "Add a new condition." Select "Content has type" & then click "next." Select the content type(s) and save.
3. Next, click "Add an action" -- select "Load a vocabulary" & click "next." Select the vocabulary & save.
4. Again, click "Add an action" -- select "Add a new term to vocabulary" & click "next." Use the token replacements to set the term name (e.g. [node:title]). Save it and you're done!

Props to whoever contributed to Rules.

Hi Martijn,

Would you please let me know how to send emails to anonymous users when a certain node type is published. I have a Webform created which allows users to input theirs emails to subscribe, but how do I send automatic emails to those users?

Thanks in advance.

There is a contributor email while adding a content to site. I want something like when any one enters an unregistered email id in contributors fields then a rule is set which will send the admin a mail that this email is not registered.

How can i check in rule whether the user is registered or not?
