[Resolved] GC4QGT5/4706 does not work properly.

This checker was written by/for someone else other than the cache owner (Myself.) It does not follow the rules of the Challenge. I have not put it on my cache page but folks are using it as proof. Can this checker be Archived?
Rules not followed:
1. Archived Challenges are allowed.
This checker has no way to check for archived caches.
2. Count only 1 Find per Challenge, even if multiple finds are allowed.
This checker counts multiple finds on the same Challenge as multiple Challenges.
3. Show proof of qualification.
This Checker shows a list of Challenges but stops at about 120 caches even when checker says the person qualifies. It does not list all 150 required caches, and does not show a total count.

Here's a different checker:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4QGT5/42170

Please test and let us know if it's closer to what you need?

NO! Not working properly.
1. To Qualify you need 150 Challenge Caches.
With this checker only one Challenge find will get you Qualified. I checked a friend, It said he was qualified with 147.
2. Count only 1 Find per Challenge, even if multiple finds are allowed, it counts as only 1 Challenge.
My friend has multiple finds on several Challenges. This checker counted each find as a separate Challenge. Each of those Challenges should be counted only ONCE bringing him down to about 130.
Example: Should be listed as 2 Challenges not 9 Challenges (Dates have been removed by me)

Okay, then the script which claims to remove duplicates is not doing that. Please provide the handle you tested so I can use it to find you a solution? You can send it via PM if you don't want to put it on a public forum.

Working on a script modification for this.

Here's a new checker for you:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4QGT5/42181

Please test and let us know if this is more suitable? PS: I've deleted my previous checker attempt.

The script has now removed duplications.
BUT... It now appears to be searching for the word "Challenge" in every found cache in Texas. Many are not Challenges.
What I need it to do is search only this bookmark list:
https://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=dea01747-c72c-44f2-a026-32a8e289ce96

If it finds 150 matching caches in the Bookmark list the person is qualified. I would also like to have it continue to search until it has a total number of matches in the Bookmark list.
The output would say, "OK: found 347 matches (needed: 150)" followed by the list of caches.
You can use my name for testing for over 150 Finds.

Right, so you actually need a fixed bookmark list checker. Try this then:

That looks great. Can we add the date they found each Challenge?
Re: GC4QGT5/4706 does not work properly.
April 19, 2019 03:06PM
Find date added.
Re: GC4QGT5/4706 does not work properly.
April 19, 2019 03:30PM
Perfect. Consider RESOLVED.
Thank you.

Great. I've now also disabled the original checker so only the latest one is valid for this challenge.
