King James Bible "Authorized Version", Cambridge Edition And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.Īnd God said, Let there be light: and there was light.Īnd God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.Īnd the earth was without form, and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And if The King James Bible is to be believed, even the prophet Moses thought the scriptures of Genesis could be given a little extra oomph by starting sentences with and. If you ever have the misfortune of sharing lunch with any national newspaper editor, they would tell you that introductory conjunctions are perfectly acceptable. That bloke that wrote The Canterbury Tales too. Awesome copywriter Lindsay Camp in his book Can I Change Your Mind? Throughout the history of written English, good writers - virtually without exception - have routinely and unapologetically started sentences with ‘and’. (That’s the name for the class of words that and, but and a number of others fall into.) There isn’t - and never has been - anything wrong with starting a sentence with a conjunction. Or something like that.īut here’s the thing. Doing so is an unforgivable affront to the English language. You should never start a sentence with and or but. You may also write your own events, conditions, or actions if you're so inclined Rules is designed to give non-programmers the ability to change the operation of their web site, but even programmers find that using Rules is a quick and easy way to prototype and implement functionality that would be hard to otherwise accomplish.You’ve heard it before, you’ll hear it again. For example, Ubecart provides an event called "Customer completes checkout". Other modules that you install may define their own module-specific events, conditions, and actions. These and many other events, conditions, and actions are automatically provided by the Rules module. Thus instead of sending mail for EVERY new page, we send the mail only for new pages that contain certain key words we're looking for. With our example here, we might use the condition "Text comparison" to see if the new page contains a key word that we're interested in. What about conditions? We said that WHEN an event happens, IF the conditions are right, THEN we take an action. When the "After saving new content" event occurs you could notify a user that there's a new post, for example. I hope you're already thinking of things you can do with this - what actions might you take when this event happens?Ī common action is to "Send email". That is, whenever a new page on your site is added, this event will occur. One Event provided by Rules is "After saving new content". Let's first give a concrete, specific example to give you an idea of what this means, then we'll delve into the seemingly endless possibilities. The basic outline of this functionality is:Īnd you'll find that Rules gives you a wide variety of predefined events, conditions, and actions that you can use to customize what happens when users visit your website. Reaction Rules consist of Events, optional Conditions, and Actions. The Rules module allows you to add functionality to your website by constructing your own Reaction Rules through a user interface. Some typical events that occur all the time are: Reaction Rules are sets of instructions for what to do when an event occurs on your web site.
