Re: change to existing checker and a new one - icons

[Resolved] change to existing checker and a new one - icons
October 07, 2016 08:41AM
I previously requested a checker for 12 icon challenge GC6P393 and was given the link for it however when I sent for publication the reviewers have refused it as it is too difficult for newer cachers to achieve it in the UK. I have spoken to the reviewers and they have agreed the following adjustment.
The challenge will now be to find 10 icons (from any time) but each one needs to be found on a different month and a different year - 10 icons- 10 months- 10 years.

I was hoping the output could look something like this
GC198....... Jan - 2001 -Traditional
GC61C8.... June - 2002 - Virtual
GCHX7R... Mar - 2004 - Unknown
GCQ7C0... Sept - 2005 - Web cam
GCVT3J......May - 2006 - Multi
GC1VPRD . July - 2009 - Letterbox
GC389H6...Nov - 2010 - Earth cache
GC34CC2 .. Oct - 2011 - Event
GC50022... Apr - 2014 - CITO
GC53P8F .. Aug - 2015 - Mega
GC6B5P3... Feb - 2016 - Wherigo

I will also bring out a new cache GC6V4VM as an easier level which is the basic 10 icons challenge - the same as my 12 icon had been written but now only for 10 icons - which is allowed.
Please can you adjust the first checker (or do a new one if that is easier) and give me a link one for the 10 icon.
Many thanks.

Here is the link to GC6V4VM http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6V4VM/22972

GC6P393 have been deleted.

The replacement is more difficult with 3 unique items ( month, year and type). I think there is no script for this.

Fot year and type is an existing script

I have the set-up for GC6P393 http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6P393/22973

There are however a question
Year == Hidden Year
Month == Visit Month at the moment
Type == Type

Please confirm if this is the set-up ??

to clarify it is the year it was placed and the month that it was placed
So there will be a list of 10 caches of different icons, each one will have been placed in a different year (10 years) and placed on a different month within those years (10 months). so you can't have one placed August 2015 and also August 2016 but you can have August 2015 and July 2016 for example.
it doesn't matter when it was found or what the month is at the moment.
I hope that makes sense. :)

I just ran the checker you posted above and that looks just like what I was looking for and the output looks great but it only managed to find 9 in the time it ran - I guess there is a lot of options to check so don't know if this would cause a problem every time ??.
From a manual check I should qualify with the caches I posted above ^

I changed the config to different hidden year, hidden month and type.

Please confirm if this is the correct set-up !

This looks absolutely perfect - thank you very much for both checkers and so quickly too :).
Can I just ask one more thing please - when you posted above it shows the line breaks correctly. I ran the checker and copied the output onto a test cache and it has shown in a block - is this just I ran an earlier version or am I copying the wrong part?

ignore comment above about line breaks i know why - I tried it in the text of the cache page so didn't have the HTML line break links - when i have posted as a note it comes out correctly .
Thanks for your help
