Unable to get variable ":global"

This may have been fixed in dev already. Can you confirm?

I'm seeing this error in the dev version:

0 ms "After saving new content" has been invoked.

I should add I was also seeing this coming out of the version that ships with Commons.

Providing slightly more descriptive title.

I want to also add to this, I'm not seeing any status messages getting recorded in the activity_log_messages table, wether or not I run the regenerate, no activity is getting logged at all.

Edit: I've updated my token module to 1.16 (from 1.15) and this error goes away, however statuses are being presented as strings containing the tokens, not interpreted.

Marked #1361598: Activity stream remains blank as duplicate and changing to a more descriptive title since it looks like this doesn't just apply to regeneration.

I don't know why this is happening and I can't reproduce it. Here's what I get when I create a node:

Blog entry Test post has been created.

The activity messages are created correctly.

Rules 6.x-1.4, Token 6.x-1.18, Activity Log latest dev, Views 6.x-2.16; and also tested with a version of Commons I pulled in November running Token 6.x-1.16 and Views 6.x-2.12 (and the latest version of Activity Log) with the same result. Both have multiple languages enabled and that seems to work fine too although I was testing in English to get the result above. Both also have other modules that Activity Log works with -- OG, UR, Flag, Digests.

My guess is that this is not a problem with Activity Log but rather some other module has a faulty Token implementation that is causing errors during Rules evaluation.

Upgrading the Token module to latest version (6.x-1.18) Solved the problem. The activity log now has activities as expected.

Non-english activities worked fine too.

You may want to mention this minimum version requirement on token module in README.txt

As noted in #6 I tested with Token 1.16 too (basically stock Commons with a newer version of Activity Log) and it worked fine for me, which is why I think there may be another module that's not playing nice with an older version of Token. But since I can't reproduce this and upgrading Token seems to resolve the issue for at least one person, let's mark this Fixed. tstackhouse (or anyone else) feel free to reopen if the problem remains unsolved with Token 1.18...

I installed Token 1.16 along with Activity log module latest dev release but still there is a error message while saving a rule

warning: mysqli_real_escape_string() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in E:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\includes\database.mysqli.inc on line 329

Please tell me how can i clear this issue?
