TIA.

It should work if you run karma.php as a cron job.

hmmm, that too is possible, I was thinking if it is possible to update on each user actions.

Personally I would just set the cron to run once each minute. Really that should be sufficient enough.
Anything more is really going to add a load to your server.

hmmm, will make that change as suggested by you. Thanks Chuck.

It seems very strange to me that you have to run some commands to get this to work.

Would it not be a good idea to have "karma" listing in the configuration menu and have options like "how often to run the update"; "how much karma to award for this"; "how much karma to award for that"; "does karma affect bury", "...and by how much"; "does karma affect votes", "...and by how much"; etc.

?

I hope this is integrated soon.

I've never run a cron.

I can set one up using my host control panel. The main field reads: command to run.

What do I write in "command" to run?

[phalcon]

command in "noob" mode on my server, hostmonster: input full server path to php file. checkboxes for time intervals.

Another question about cron: I get permission denied on my command. What is the safest permissions for karma.php?

[phalcon]

Well, I have permissions done ok but now I get all these errors:

/home/ilovemyt/public_html/randomegg/libs/karma.php: line 1: ?php
: No such file or directory
/home/ilovemyt/public_html/randomegg/libs/karma.php: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `'../config.php''
/home/ilovemyt/public_html/randomegg/libs/karma.php: line 2: `include('../config.php');

Any idea how to proceed?
