Hi all

I'm trying to setup a rule that emails an alert from drupal on a file download (so far, so easy, using rules module).. but i get stuck trying to work out how to include fields from the logged in user's civicrm profile (such as name and phone number..).... I have the drupal civicrm-rules module activited, but this obviously doesn't do what i thought it might!

I think i must be missing something obvious as this appears to be a fairly straightforward requirement and would welcome any advice as to how to go about it.

Am using D6 plus 4.1

Thanks for the reply Lobo - not a criticism of your response but i was hoping that this must have been addressed many time before so maybe i'm not describing my issue well!!

Another way i though might be to have a drupal rule triggered by a file download which first..

1) copies the fields i want to email from the civicrm profile into a matching set of drupal fields. (this is the bit i need)

2) then embeds the drupal fields in the email using a standard tokenised email. (this bit is ok!)

So what i would need is some php to put into the drupal rule action - i thought i had found something suitable in another thread but it does it the wrong way around and updates the civicrm profile from drupal!. Im guessing its not a straightforward select statement or two then!

I'm a bit of a dummy when it comes to PHP (but willing to have a go if someone could just give me a little more help!!)

Cheers
