Perhaps I am missing something critical here and if so could someone please point out where I need to look?
In D7.15, I am trying to use Views to list and manage rules and components. The purpose is to use View's grouping and aggrigation to manage numerous hierarchical, interacting rules and components.
Views can pull in the Rule's label, machine name, and so on. However there's two problems that make managing rules through a view impossible: there's no link to the rule, and tags are not available. Again, I could be missing something and if anyone could tell me what that is I'd appreciate it.
Otherwise, is it possible to make the edit link and the tag available to views?
Thank you,
Eric

tr commentedLet me answer this for the current version of Rules (D8+). Rules are now configuration entities, which are standard structures used everywhere throughout Drupal. The functionality of listing and managing configuration entities through Views (and VBO) is not something that Rules needs to implement, but is something that should be accomplished with core Drupal either alone or in conjunction with contributed modules like https://www.drupal.org/project/config_views
IMO the current UI for managing Rules is greatly improved over D7. Additionally, there is better drush integration so you can list and search Rules from the command line. But if you need to customize how Rules are managed, this can be easily done by overriding the RulesReactionListBuilder and RulesComponentListBuilder. Patches to add functionality to these list builders are welcome.
