[Resolved] Challenge Checker Request - Cadillac Curve Challenge GC6Z2MQ
January 08, 2017 03:57AM
Need a challenge checker that requires the cacher to have found at least 50 caches of any type in Jackson County, Mississippi. Please exclude reverse and traveling caches.

Thanks,

P.S. As an alternative, would it be possible, and legal under the new guidelines, to require a cacher to get a certain number of caches within 2 miles of this cache location? Say, must get 25 caches of any type within 2 miles of the posted coordinates?

I've tagged it
please try it and if it works well for you, please insert the following code it the listing
<a href="http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6Z2MQ/24153"><img src="http://maxcdn.project-gc.com/Images/Checker/24153"; title="Project-GC Challenge checker" alt="PGC Checker"></a>

link to the checker:
http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6Z2MQ/24153

as for your second question, the new rules forbids the user defined polygon (so either circle around a point), so the second version - distance 2 miles, is no accettable.
The checker checks for the Jackson county

Just a remark, travelling caches are not excluded from the script so they will be allowed in the checker.

Hi Lean
did you mean the "Locationless (Reverse) Cache"?
I've already excluded it in the tag, see the config:
{
"counties": 1,
"findsPerCounty": 50,
"country": [
"United States"
],
"region": [
"Mississippi"
],
"county": [
"Jackson County (MS)"
],
"ExcludedTypes": [
"Locationless (Reverse) Cache"
]
}

so if the script works and accepts the value (as described in their listing), the locatioless caches should be excluded.

Hallo Jet, travelling caches are different from locationless.
Travelling caches are no specific type and only a bookmark list is available link: https://www.geocaching.com/bookmarks/view.aspx?guid=7cf4124c-1061-4412-b79a-7df1df4d8783

Hi Lean
In the meantime I've read your post in the other topic. Hopefully there are very little number of these caches, so I think that it's acceptable for the cache owner. Otherwise new script is need and I not want to write it to exclude the traveling caches.
Maybe, that now traveling cache is registered in the Jackson county, so there is no problem [:)].
