New Issue with the PGC Greasemonkey script???

Question

all of a sudden, some of the functionality of the script seems to be not working....  For example:

1. The Hints are no longer automatically decrypted.

2. Right before the user logs, I no longer see the options to select "My Logs" or "Friends".

Did something change?  I see the issue with both Chrome and Tampermonkey AND with Firefox and Violentmonkey.   I have the latest greasemonkey script (3.0.7) on both browser extensions.

This script also showed the county where the cache is located.  Sure hope it comes back!

that function was never broken.

Answer 1

I believe this is due to changes made to the geocaching website. As the script is maintained mainly by volunteers it might take a while to get things fixed there.

that is what I suspected.  

and wow, I looked at the greasemonkey script and it sure has changed since I last looked at it several years ago.

Answer 2

I noticed the problem when I "lost" the box that allows you to add the cache page directly to the VGPS. After a lot of back and forth with an AI, the script appears to be broken at the Hint Decrypt point and the script stops running.

I turned off the automatic Decrypt option in the list on the page and the Add to VGPS box returned. This will also fix the elevation issue and logs issue.

The AI did offer to walk me through editting the script myself but I declined. I can live with the hints issue until its fixed.

good detective work.   I will also turn off the automatic decrypt hint option, and then wait for someone who understands this javascript to figure out what happened.  I was really missing having the 'Yours (x)' and 'Friends' options to find my own and friends logs quickly.

Answer 3

I just used Claude ......  and he explained what the issue was with the Hint Decrypt section (I had to give him the html section of  the code from a cache page).   anyway, I tested this and it appears to fix the issue.  Lines 966-969 of the script.

OK, here is the fix:
 // Decrypt the hint
        const dhLink = document.getElementById('lnkDH');
        if (isSettingEnabled('decryptHints') && dhLink && dhLink.textContent.trim() ===     i18next.t('other.decrypt')) {
             dhLink.click();
        }

Looks like this fix is now incorporated into new version 3.0.9  so all good now.
