Re: GC7V5NZ - Earth caches in Czechia, every state

Hello
I would like a challenge checker to find at least 1 Earth Cache in every states (regions) in Czechia.
Therefore for 14 states in Czechia
Analogical as Deutschland-Earthcache-Challenge

Thanks!

ciao moravan
try it here:
https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7V5NZ/37064

please add the following code to the listing:

(taky su moravák ;) )

Ahoj Pavlíku,

checker works fine for me!

Many thanks
moravan

great, resolved

zdravim z Italie

Ahoj,
dostal jsem dotaz, zda by checker nešlo upravit tak, aby zobrazené keše byly ty první nalezené. Aktuálně se to takhle nechová.
Pak by byl seznam více vypovídající - chronologicky by byly seřazeny navštívené kraje.
Díky, pokud to nedá moc práce :)

Hello,
I was asked if the checker could not be adjusted so that the caches shown were the first ones found. It's not like this at all.
Then the list would be more telling - the visited regions would be chronologically organized
Thanks, if it does not do much work

Hi Moravan
Hopelessly the question is a bit complicated. The checker is based on Rikitan's script, and it not provide the possibility of sort. So there are 3 possibilities:

1. You can contact Rikitan and ask for the modify.
2. I can clone his script, modify the cloned script, create new tag and you should link the new tag (new checker) in your listing. The counters will be reset in that case.
3. Leave it as is...

So, first try to contact Rikitan

ZDRAVIM DO CESKA

Hi jpavlik,
I'll try to discuss it with a Rikitan.

Thanks
Zdravím (do Itálie?)

Hi guys,
sorting of finds from the oldest to newest in checker output is something, what I wanted to set some time ago already. But I did not understood, why it is not working in my LUA script.
I'm using order = 'OLDESTFIRST' in all of my scripts, but it is not reflected in output tables.

myFinds = PGC.GetFinds( profileId, { fields = fields, filter = filter, order = 'OLDESTFIRST' } )

Any advice is welcome!

Rikitan

it's simple
ones you collect all qualified caches and save it in the array by region, you make this loop for making the list:

for group,groupData in pairs(regionGroups) do

but attention, inserting the data to generic array, the pairs iterator returns the data in alphabetic order of keys

Lua 5.2.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2015 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> a={}
> a.abc="first"
> a.der="second"
> a.aaa="third"
> print(a)
> for i,v in pairs(a) do print(i,v) end
aaa     third
abc     first
der     second

so, you should make a separate list of regions (indexed by numeric keys) :

if (groupData == nil) then -- create new data structure for Region
		groupData = {}
		groupData["qual"] = {}
		groupData["find_counter"] = 0
		regionGroups[groupKey] = groupData
                table.insert(regionGroupsList, groupKey) -- added line

and get the regions in order by this list:

for _,group in ipairs(regionGroupsList) do 	
  local groupData=regionGroups[group]

moved to "checker request" forum

Hello Josef, thank you for the guidance, I will follow it and adjust my code. I hope to get to it today, but possibly just over the weekend.

Ok, mentioned method has sorted regions correctly (from first "found" to the last region "found"), but not finds within the region itself. They appear to be totally random, not oldest to newest. I spent 3 hours trying to index them the same way like regions, but it does not work .. I'm giving up.

Cancelling.

Hello jpavlik,
we are now at point 2. ;)
I really do not know how complicated this task is ... When you have the taste and the time for programming, could you create a new checker as specified above? I think this Generic Region checker is versatile and will be useful also for future requirements.
Thanks

Ok, I'll try it later

I've cloned the checker, I've modified it for output sorted by found date and I've make it universal for country/region/county

try it here
https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7V5NZ/38205

this is the link to new checker

Thank to Rikitan for the original script.

Zdravim na Moravu a na Slovensko

Many thanks, the checker now works exactly to my requirements :)-D
Now I can change the link in the listing

Zdravím do Itálie

So, NOW it's resolved.

:-)

One more thing - Output difference:
Old checker

**Pardubický kraj** (Czechia) [Rezavý potok (GC7VGDM)](http://coord.info/GC7VGDM) | 2018-08-18 | 2018-08-02

New checker

**Pardubický kraj** (Czechia) [Rezavý potok (GC7VGDM)](//coord.info/GC7VGDM) | 2018-08-18 | 2018-08-02

It is supposed to be like that?

yes, it's ok
putting http:// or https:// the browser is forced to use the protocol
with // they use the same protocol as for the parent page.

The old checker forces the protocol to http and any http link in the https page causes the browser warning that the page is not secure.
As the current browsers creates many problems when you want to open http page, in the near future they can block also https pages with by http links inside. So, it's better to not force the protocol of the links.

However, I've tried put the output of the checker to the log, the geocaching.com has some problem to recognize the links, so it make confusion and does not make functional links.
I've modified the checker to force the https protocol, now works fine.

A uz me s tim serou.

Thanks for the explanation

A slibuju, ze uz nebudu otravovat :)

Hello Rikitan,
thank you very much for your work!
