Re: How to get hold of a session after getting signaled?

I can't just call badge.award_to(user) because I need to wait for the check logic to verify if the user should receive a badge or not.
My workaround is that I created a new table that inserts badge and user foreign keys and before the view is rendered I will check this table for any entries for that user. If there are, I will copy the data to a message and delete the object from the database again.

It's rather ugly due to the many database hits which I would like to avoid but I can't think of anything else at the moment. Apparently (using google) there is no way to get hold of the request in a post_save() signal - which I need to check all achievements.

The only real solution would be to not use this post_save() signal but manually do the checking for achievements before my view is rendered, which would require some work on the original source code. I will look into it though next week.
