[Resolved] Request Challenge Checker for new cache GC7DMB7
October 15, 2017 04:38PM
I am requesting help on a new challenge checker. I can't find any similar one that I can clone.
GC7DMB7

To qualify, you would have to have found caches that contain favorite points awarded on those found caches of at least 50,000 Favorite points. For instance, currently (10/15/17), Mingo (GC30) shows 2,365 favorites.

Project-GC appears to already calculate this, as it shows on their main Finds tab, in the section Caches with Most Favorite points. At the bottom of this section, it shows "A total xx,xxx favorite points found (average xx.xx).

Please confirm that this is the checker you require

Thank You! That works. One last request, if it's not too much. The checker logic show that they meet or not meet the qualifications, but if they meet the qualifications, it appears it stops adding up their favorite points, so everyone who meets it will show a total of 50,001. Is there any way to have it provide them a true total, or does it cause the Script to run too long? It would be nice if cacher #1 could say they had 86,000 favorites, cacher #2 had 67,600, etc.

Here is the alternative https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7DMB7/29324

The output starts as you require but with a long list of caches which stops after a while.
The script takes also longer to compute and can stop for cachers with a lot of finds

Regarding GC7DMB7,

I accidentally submitted this cache as a Traditional rather than Mystery. The Reviewer has now changed the cache type to a mystery, but the challenge checker that I believe you originally set up is not working.

Can you now re-enable the challenge checker?




Your Project-GC Q&A question was answered

northwing65,
Your question on Project-GC Q&A has been answered by Jakuje:
The challenge caches has to be Unknown types and therefore the checker got disabled after publication and after the system found out that the cache is not a valid challenge cache based on the rules:
https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206
Please, change the type to Unknown and then write directly the the one who created you the checker/tag to re-enable it.
