how to remember results of a views query in rules I have a site with an eva view that is embedded into a view page that is directly accessible, running the query for the first time. To that I have added rules_views, I want to e-mail out certain fields values of the view when the user requests it using a flag. (as the trigger) But I want to e-mail the field values out after the query is first run, with the original values. I want to preserve the state.

What is the best way to do this?
As a possible alternative to make this work (instead of using Views Rules), you may want to give it a try to process the results of a VBO enabled view via Rules, whereas your rule performs 2 Rules Actions:


Load the VBO list that you want to be processed.
Add a loop to perform a Rules Action, for each row contained in your Views results.


For more details, have a look at the tutorial "How to process the results of a VBO enabled view via Rules?".

To actually trigger such Rules Action, you should be able to use a Rules Event like "... when the user requests it using a flag." (as in your question).
