[Resolved] Size Other on all dates of the year
February 21, 2021 07:35PM
Hello,
I would like to request a checker for GC96H3H, a challenge requiring a find of the size 'other' on all dates of the year (not including 29 February).
Hopefully it can show either that the challenge is fulfilled or which dates are missing, for example in a calendar view.
Please let me know if more information is needed.
Kind regards,
Louise

Here is the link https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC96H3H/58880

If you press on a found date you can see which cache is used to fullfill that date

Please test and reply

It works perfect!
One tiny thing, can it state: I've found a size other on **365** different days of year.
Thanks a lot for the super quick reply.
Kind regards,
Louise

I will have to contact the scriptwriter if he can build this into the output

Thanks for the quick reply.
Don't spend time on that, it is a really minor thing.
Thanks you for your help.
Kind regards,
Louise

I now realised I have run into a whole different problem, there are not enough geocachers fulfilling the challenge, so I assume the reviewers will not let a challenge like this publish.

I apologise for the inconvenience, but is it possible to change to:
Size other on all dates in 6 complete months of the year, does not matter which months, 29 Feb excluded.
I hope it makes sense - and I do apologise for creating extra work for you.

Kind regards,
Louise

If you go for 6 full months I have to ask for a script extension

I would very much like it to be 6 full months as opposed to 180 days.
Is it possible?

It is possible, here is a checker that would work:

However, it doesn't display a grid, and if you want that, like vogelbird said, a script extension is needed.

Here is a checker with a grid display based on a different script

Thanks for the replies from both of you.
The option with grid is more friendly towards the people not fulfilling the challenge, for a quick overview of which months they can focus on.
I would like to use the one with the grid.

One comment, just a visual thing, the grid is red in two nuances in months that are complete. Logical green would be a better color for showing complete. Orange is good for months where there are still missing (grey) days (the current set up). I understand if this is not an easy fix and purely visual as mentioned.

The lines are red because the vertical lines are blue (not used in this instance) and purple where they cross. I suppose I could try to add configuration variables for the red and blue so you can have the red ones in green.

Does it look better with green?

That looks perfect!
I can see the html code has already been provided.
Thanks for all your help.
I think the case is closed :)

I assume that you are using checker 58910

Oh, the multiple responses confused me.
Yes, I will use the 58910 checker.
Thanks for your work on the checkers, and I apologize for all this back and forth.
Great work :)
