In the settings what do you have set for the field
Spotlight Next Cron Run

Also, if you look at the scheduled tasks log, you should see entries in there for the spotlight script

Are there any log entries for spotlight in the scheduled task log?

How can I set it to update at 12:00 am every day??

Go to that page and put in the time for tonight at 11:55pm for your servers timezone. It will give you a timestamp. Just put that into the next cron run field. The script will check hourly, but it will not change anything until midnight.

Thanks but what it gave me was this
Sunday, January 9th 2011, 23:55:00 (GMT -5) translates to 1294635300

Does that mean that it will only run on Sunday at 11:55PM?

Taurus1 · #**115** 01-09-2011, 02:34 AM

OK, now it is not updating. I have the same member up there for 2 days now. Please advise.
Thanks.

You can set it to whatever time you want? If you enter the date in the bottom part, you can create a timestamp for any time.

It doenst work, there?s no change. 3 Days = same User.

In Log: No user met the criteria, user not updated, set next runtime to 1294664338

gamerzhut · #**119** 01-10-2011, 04:44 PM

It works fine at my end.

No bug in the system

Sounds like no user is matching the criteria you have setup. What do you have for the fields above?

I made an update with 1.6.2
Hopefully fixed the avatar issues with the different installation layouts
Fixed bbcode not parsing on custom fields
Switched code to use existing data so was able to eliminate all but 2 custom db queries, should be better on performance now.
