Hi

I have an ajax form in drupal on the users page (user/%uid), where there is a button which on click, change a custom field for the civicrm-contact matched to that user. The custom field can be yes or no. I also have a civicrm smart group where contacts having that costum field set to yes is in it.
My problem is: changing the custom field doesn't update the smart group cache, and therefore the change isn't reflected in the smartgroup before cron has run (the Rebuild Smart Group Cache job is set to run with cron). It needs to be updated immediately, because being in the group potentially means a lot of people calling that contact.
How do I rebuild the smart group cache immediately, whenever there is a change?

Thanks Lobo

I tried something like this:
require_once 'CRM/Contact/BAO/GroupContactCache.php';
CRM_Contact_BAO_GroupContactCache::remove( );

and it didn't work - maybe I'll also have to set the timeout  parameter to "now" ?

Anyway. I dropped using a smart group and instead just add/remove the contact from a 'normal' group in the ajax callback, and when the contact is created (via a profile) a do the same postProcess - then the change is reflected immediately. I guess it's less heavy on the system as well compared to removing and rebuilding the cache for smart groups.
