What are ACTions?

Everyone’s favorite… Let’s start again.

Stephen Lewis drops some knowledge with a primer on the ACTion ID in ExpressionEngine.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a quick blog post to announce that Testee 2.2 now lets you run your tests via an ACTion ID.

Whilst writing said blog post, I spent a few minutes scouring the ExpressionEngine documentation for a succinct ACTion ID overview that I could link to. I wasn’t expecting much, just an explanation of what an ACTion ID is and does, for the completely uninitiated.

If you’re familiar with how add-ons are built then you’ve already come across the action ID. If not, Stephen’s primer will get you the information you need to hang with developers at your EE meetup.
