Re: Checker 49673 improvement request

As an avid challenge hound, I found this checker to be helpful for seeing in one location where I stand with multiple challenges. My request is a suggestion to add a heading on top of each checker which indicates what the checker is for. Some are obvious but many aren't so a heading would be helpful.

You’ll have to contact PattuX, who set that one up. You can email them by clicking the envelope that appears beside their name under “Tagged by” on the checker page.

OK, thanks.

On a related note, can I modify the code myself and submit it back to Project-GC to be published?

Um, kind of.

Here is a brief explanation of how the Project-GC infrastructure is setup.

Quote

The challenge checker infrastructure is split into two parts. First, there are scripts, that usually check for something generic like "X finds of Y cache type". Then, there are tags, which associate scripts to actual challenge caches. For example, a tag might say that "to qualify for GC12345, run 'X finds of Y cache type' with X=100 and Y=Multi-cache". This makes scripts re-usable for multiple challenge caches.

You cannot edit the "script", since that might affect how other challenge checkers behave. However, we can create a copy of the "tag" and alter it to output additional text (if the script has the option to do that.)

I will see if this script allows this.

Yes, it turns out this script does. Is this sufficient?

Yes, that is sufficient. How do I go about testing my changes and submitting the final script to Project-GC?

Well if that checker is alright then you can just use that. The old one can continue to exist as it is.

Gotcha! Thanks for this! Looks great!
