Ravinder,

I think it quite easy to do the "sequential days active" badge. This simple logic came to me in my sleep. We simply use a query like this:

Code:
mysql> SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP()/(60*60*24);
+-----------------------------+
| UNIX_TIMESTAMP()/(60*60*24) |
+-----------------------------+
|                  17900.1528 |
+-----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

to give us the number of days since the beginning of unixtime.

We store this value, rounded down in a new lastdayactive field in the user table;

Then we insert a 1 in the in the daysinsequence field in the same table.

Then we compare UNIX_TIMESTAMP()/(60*60*24) with lastdayactive and if this is one day greater (and less than two) than before, we update lastdayactive and increment daysinsequence.

If UNIX_TIMESTAMP()/(60*60*24) - lastdayactive is greater than 1 day we update lastdayactive and reset daysinsequence to 1.

It's quite simple, I think.

Hence, you get a D on this one (for implementation logic, sorry for that) because it is very simple to do but you could not do it after many days ... but an A for a great idea Smilie


I will implement this badge when I am back from my trip upcountry.

In addition, warns users of requestors who have been waiting for a given number of days (the default is 1 day). Note that unless time is specifically set, the default time values for the following options are used. Options recognizes the following options: Any files greater or equal to time days old are removed with appropriate information to the requestor. The default time is 7 days. Any files greater or equal to time days old are removed. An attempt is made to deliver mail messages and execute news when appropriate. The default time is 7 days. Any files equal to time cause a message to be mailed to the requestor warning about the delay in contacting the remote. The message includes the JOBID, and in the case of mail, the mail message. The administrator can include a message line telling who to call to correct the problem (see the option). The default time is 1 day. Any files greater than or equal to time days old are removed. The files are probably not present (if they were, the could be executed). But, if files are present, they are taken care of by processing. The default time is 2 days. This string is included in the warning message generated by the option. The default string is Other files whose age is more than time days are deleted. The default time is 2 days.
