I have set up a rule that triggers when a new content of a certain type is created. How is it possible to programmatically test if this rule has ran?

I have the following code

<?php
function nupostmark_test() {
    $node = node_load($node);
    $ntypes = node_get_types('types', $node);
    $nodesaverule = rule_function_to_call_here;
    if($nodesaverule !== NULL && $ntypes == 'plistings'){
                drupal_set_message('you can set the variable now');
                //set some variable to make available to template.php in phptemplate_preprocess_block
            }
}
?>

Rule settings

I would to the following things:

  1. Activate the debug messages for Rules. (See the Rules settings page.)
  2. Add an action either to display a message on the site, or to write a message to the log.

The debug information is invaluable if you have problems executing rules correctly.
