Re: Find the oldest active cache for each type in a country

I would like a challenge that checks if one has found the oldest active cache in the Netherlands for each of the following types:

traditional, mystery, multi, letterbox, wherigo, virtual, webcam and earth.

At this moment, that would make you find these caches:

Tradi GC198 Amsterdam Urban 1
Multi GC764 Double Dutch
Mystery GCADDF Pure Fiction
Wherigo GC19TA6 Bunnikse Dorpscache
Earth GCZCG6 Groeve Koeberg
Virtual GC2D2A Easyfield
Webcam GC2DE4 Haarlem Webcam
Letterbox GCT3K1 Heerlijckheijd Cranendunc

Naturally, I could make a checker that has these GC codes hardcoded, but ideally, the challenge would be maintenance-free (i.e., it retrieves the caches-to-be-found itself).

Can you give the GCcode of the challenge cache

GC7CWH8

Here is the link to the checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7CWH8/28957

Please confirm that this is the checker you require

Awesome! So there was a checker for this kind of challenge. Thanks for the find and the tag! (tu)

The script seems to be quite buggy. It does not always show the caches you'll need to find to fulfill the challenge.

I've made a new tag here: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7GBBF/30762, which checks if you fulfill for the Netherlands, region Gelderland. Try it with vogelbird for example, and you'll get this:

#	gccode	Hiddendate	Visitdate	Name						Type
1	GC1GA5K	2008-09-17			Garfield's Letterbox and Coin- & TB-Hotel	Letterbox Hybrid
2	GCGD3W	2003-07-05			Kuilenburg					Unknown Cache
3	GC3CF	2001-03-04			G'ebbes						Traditional Cache

It should list all 7 caches that need to be found. I've done some effort to figure out where the script goes wrong, but couldn't find it unfortunately. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Het is geen fout maar het betekent dat de cacher alleen maar caches gevonden heeft van het type wat getoond wordt

Zoals in mijn geval
Ik heb maar drie cache types in Gelderland gevonden en de checker kan alleen maar testen of deze typen de oudste zijn

Dat verklaart het, bedankt voor de uitleg! (tu)
