Re: New Challenge Checker for GC21QXG

[Resolved] New Challenge Checker for GC21QXG
June 05, 2019 10:18PM
Requesting a challenge checker for GC21QXG - Alaska’s Geology: An EarthCache Challenge, by NorthWes. Required is to find 20 of the 75 earthcaches currently listed in Alaska as of May 31 2019. A bookmark list called Alaska's Earthcaches lists all 75 current earthcaches in Alaska.

There appears to be a checker already:

Does this not function the way you want it to be?

Embarrassed I am! Didn't know it existed, despite a search for it. THANK YOU!!!

Is it possible to get the text in the checker changed to read:

Find and log 20 of the 75 EarthCaches currently active in Alaska.

And - does the checker then have to be edited to include all 75 current earthcaches (versus the 54 present when I first placed this challenge a few years ago?)

The current checker checks for 20 EC's in Alaska but it doesn't seem to check if they're archived or not. I can create you an alternative checker that uses your bookmark list, but I need to shared code of the list. It should be a 7 character alphanumeric code starting with BM. Any chance you can see it on your side?

All I can see is a list ID of 272099 which I see when I view the page source...

Here's the alternative checker:

Please test and let us know which checker you prefer.

Oh my! The 'alternative checker' is terrific. I like how it lists both found and not found earthcaches. That's genius!

I have changed the tag comment in "Find and log 20 EarthCaches in Alaska."

Thank you so much! That's a better tag comment all the way around...

Ok if you like the bookmark checker I will delete mine.
The only disadvantage is that cachers who previously qualified might not anymore.

You found 19 earthcaches with the old checker but only 14 with the bookmark checker
