I created this usergroup badge which gives usergroups in #18 a badge

Code:

$badgeAction = 'dgold_group';
if (in_array(18, $user_info['groups']) && !in_array($badgeAction,$currentBadges))
{
$badgeID = GetBadgeIDByAction($badgeAction);
$ret = AddBadgeToMember($memberID,$badgeID,false);
if ($ret == true)
{
$currentBadges[] = $badgeAction;
$newBadges[]  = $badgeAction;
}

}

Problem is, it only sends a pm to the person when they either finish making a post or make a change to their profile.

How do I get the software to check if changes have been made as soon as the person logs into the forum? Or, as soon as they see the index of the forum.

Does it have something to do with this being placed somewhere?

Code:

// Badge Awards
global $sourcedir, $modSettings;
if (!empty($modSettings['badgeawards_enable']))
{

global $sourcedir, $user_info;
require_once($sourcedir . '/badgeawards.php');
Badges_CheckMember($memID);
}
// End Badge Awards

I woudld do a check code right before this line

In Sources/LogInOut.php

Code:

// Just log you back out if it's in maintenance mode and you AREN'T an admin.

Add this

Code:

// Badge Awards
global $sourcedir, $modSettings;
if (!empty($modSettings['badgeawards_enable']))
{

global $sourcedir, $user_info;
require_once($sourcedir . '/badgeawards.php');
Badges_CheckMember($user_settings['ID_MEMBER']);
}
// End Badge Awards

Unfortunately it didn't do the trick

Only works if they use the login system. If they are logged in they have logout then relogin.

I tried that too, I had the member login and logout, but still no email or badge award given. The person still has to create a post.

Could this code be placed in the main index or something?

[SMFHacks]

Yeah you can place the code in the main index but very bad for performance you site will use more resources and will be slower. That's why I only check at certain places and not all the time

So why isn't the loginOut.php not working? That seemed like a good idea. Does it work for you?

[SMFHacks]

No idea should work you can try other spots in that file.

Not sure if it's related or not... but there are two different login screens... one when you click login... another that comes up when you attempt to access a private site initially.  I know this because I was able to pull the news out of the action=LOGIN screen... and when people hit LOGIN and it took them to that screen,  the news wouldn't appear... BUT when people accessed my site directly (private site)... the first login screen that comes up doesn't have an ACTION associated with it ... it's different than the login screen with "LOGIN" action associated with it... because the news would appear.

Thanks, Frizzle. I'm still trying to figure this out.

I get errors when I place it in the position VBgamer suggested

I ended up putting it inside the index.php file...

How much will it affect the performance?

A lot....since it is called on every request.

I noticed lol, my CPU usage went to 100% as soon as I put it in. The results were desirable, but the tardiness wasn't.
