Change History
Moderators will move threads from "Checker requests" into this forum after a while when it has been decided that the challenge checker isn't possible for one or another reason. The threads should not be moved right away. The challenge owner should have a chance to adjust his requirements if that helps.

Re: Tool needed - Number of Logs overview for impact study
Don't think this is possible with the LUA interface. GetFinds() will only return the ones that you've found (so you can access num_finds per GC code) and GetHides() will return the hides knowing the CO of the cache (once again to get num_finds). GetBookmarklist() only returns the list of GC codes and there's no way to get the CO information from that. So we either need to get the CO as well via GetBookmarklist() or a new method eg. GetCacheDetails($gccode, $params) to get the details/number of finds. Hmm, but even that won't give you the breakdown in years unless this new method has a filter for minVisitDate and maxVisitDate.
Edit: appears this is possible if the profile against which the script is run has found all the caches in the bookmark list. If so, the following needs to happen: GetBookmarklist() to get all the caches, GetFinds() to get all the finds for the profile and the cache owner of each of the caches, followed by GetHides() to get all (hopefully) the cache finds of that cache. It would be easier if there's a new method GetCacheDetails() to get hold of the CO for the cache.
