Re: GC4EFR4 - Aesop's Fable Challenge checker request

Anyone want to do this one? Seems simple enough. Thanks

Thanks! But this is using the hidden date, not the published date. See GC16G6Q for example. That is listed as one of my qualifying caches, but I don't qualify with that because the published date is a day later than the hidden date.

If it simply listed all my (supposedly) qualifying caches instead of stopping at 30, I could sort through them to see which ones are good or not.

It uses "last_publish_date" field if it's present (older caches does not have it), otherwise it uses the "hidden" field.

For the cache you mentioned this is the data I have access to:
Array
(
[last_publish_date] => 2007-10-07
[type] => Unknown Cache
[visitdate] => 2007-10-09
[cache_id] => 706732
[hidden] => 2007-10-07
[cache_name] => Mystery Riffs (Mpls)
[premium] => 1
[latitude] => 44.880200
[longitude] => -93.350400
[gccode] => GC16G6Q
)

If that's wrong, nothing I can do scriptwise to correct it (or even detect anything wrong).

Ok. Is there any way to get it to show more than 30? That way, if there are 1 or 2 bad ones, I can find some more good ones to replace them.

You think too much of users, that they'll actually look over the list and double check if their list is correct.
But since you requested the checker I'll simply disable the break, and it will now list all caches, if it's 30, 300 or 3000.

LOL, that is true. Thanks!

In the output the result is shown in hidden and visitdate

This is confusing because hidden is shown on the listing as the placement date

It should be better to show the result as published and visit date

I replace the hidden field with published if it's there (remembered late about two different dates, and just did a quick and dirty fix, prior to enabling it for the first time).
So while the output uses the "hidden" field, the data is almost always from the "last_publish_date" field.

I was referring to the text in the output
"Hidden 2014-04-24, found 2014-04-26 (GC510YD Bully40 #07, Trad"

the word hidden could be change to publish

Good point, updated the text.

Thanks
