Is there any Checker for Attributes per 365?

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 10:49:30 +0000

I know this checker (Project-GC - Challenge checkers) for attributes per 81-D/T-Matrix and I wonder if it is possible to run it for the calender matrix as well??
Like this one for different cachetypes?

So, having a checker to look for each individual attribut per each calender day would be helpful.

Thanks

ICS files broken?

Fri, 20 Jan 2023 17:31:48 +0000

I created several ICS files from the "Needed found dates" page.

Mozilla Thunderbird and the Windows Calendar can't import these files, because they seem to be broken.

Any idea what the problem is?

Enhancement: Multiple calendar files - Part 2

Sat, 19 Sep 2020 23:38:55 +0000

PGC has an excellent facililty for working on dot days - the ability to export the dates out of the Needed Found Dates query and import them into our favourite calandering tool, so that we can be reminded to go get a cache. There has been recent improvement s to this allowing for musltiple calandering files, but I have just discovered that despite the multiple calander files, only one event is saved per day.

Examining the contents of the .ics files I see that all events have a UID of <date>@project-gc.com, and I suspect this is the reason a second calendar event on the same date is not saved. Could the UID please be changed to something like <date>.<field>@project-gc.com, where field is the user entry field beside the Download ICS calendar file button on the Needed Found Dates page.

For those who are not aware, the desire for multiple calendar files comes from wanting to fill the calendar (ie work on our dot-days) with a cache finds of various types, eg traditional or regular caches, at the same time. I, for instance, am working to fill my multis, unknowns and vituals, and get my smalls and micros up to two per date.

Tool for The Calendar Cacher badge?

Fri, 21 Aug 2020 15:46:21 +0000

Is there a tool that will help me to find out which dates do I need to proceed with The Calendar Cacher badge?

The count for the badge The Calendar Cacher is not changing

Tue, 09 Jul 2019 12:15:24 +0000

The count in the badge The Calendar Cacher does no change - it is stuck on 722. I thought this count should add one each different day (date) I log a cache.

The Calendar Cacher - next round

The Calendar Cacher - next round

Within BadgeGen I can see my stats for FOUNDS WITHIN DIFFERENT CALENDAR DAYS.

I have already Diamond status and I have already 660 days. SO I would like to find the missing 70 days for round/loop 2.

WIth the feature missing calendar days I can filter round / 2. But it answers a different question. The result is a calendar with missing days for 2 (or more) finds. So I can answer on wich days I need to go caching to get 2 , 3 or 10 finds on that specific date.

But I want to know which days I have to go caching to get 372 different days going caching.

So how do I find the missing days for loop 2 (372 different days of geocaching)??

Thanks for the help

Calendar export (ical) for days where geocaches must be searched for challenges?

Sun, 15 Apr 2018 05:03:25 +0000

For example the following challenge: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC7M4ZJ/33836

There should be a way to export the days on that geocaches must be sought for completing challenges.

Interactive calendar

Tue, 16 Jan 2018 15:26:39 +0000

I always like to plan my caching adventures, so I can get the most out of it.
Ever since I saw the small event calendar on GC.com, I'm wondering "What if we could add a list or query to this?" I think an interactive calendar would be nice.
F.e. when I'm going to attend a certain event, I'd would be a visible aid to see I already have a list linked.
Or just on a free day for that matter...

And also, I don't need to see the 9 events I can't go to on the calendar... So I guess it would be nice if we could personalize that option more.

Any thoughts?

TopFindCalendarLoopers does not show "current" profile name

Tue, 14 Feb 2017 20:43:22 +0000

The page in the title does not render the current profile name in the bar graph and therefore does not jump to the page where the selected profile is (if the user is searching for himself). See attached screenshot below or try yourself with your country:

http://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopFindCalendarLoopers?profile_name=werg&profile_country=Czech+Republic&submit=Filter&chartpage=13

Notice the empty space next to the line, where my Geocaching login should be.

Feature request: top calendar loopers

Sun, 05 Feb 2017 08:05:55 +0000

Good morning,

unless I have overlooked it there is no statistics on top calendar loopers. I assume it would not be difficult to add this? It would be very similar to the top D/T loopers stats.

Thanks a lot!

Tournament, scoring (Advent calendar)

Mon, 12 Dec 2016 07:55:26 +0000

Hi all!

The local geocaching communites in Norway run several Advent calendars for different areas, where we each day have one geocache published from Dec. 1st to Dec. 24th. Cachers are awarded points for logging the Advent calendar caches in December. Extra for FTF's, co-FTF's, own listings and so forth. Needless to say this creates a great competition and fun times. The job associated with updating the statistics and keeping score has become all but trivial with the growing number of participants.

This year, I've made a crude PowerShell-script for updating the stats, but there's still some manual labour required to get it done. Then I thought of Project-gc, maybe we can implement the Advent calendar stats here and have it automatic and near-realtime?

I'd be very interested in access to try and get it up and running, if at all possible.. Hopefully it will be usable by other communities running their own Advent calendars.

All the best, Thorin Eikenskjold

My "The calendar cacher" badge is stuck?

Tue, 06 Dec 2016 12:46:02 +0000

Not sure if it's a bug for Project-GC or rather Badgegen... My "The Calendar Cacher" badge hasn't changed for a long time (stuck on 723 days and 9 days left). At the same time, for example "Vallafrun" has a count of 4020 days (11 years!) even if she started caching 4 years ago...? How does this badge work?

needed caches per needed day

Sun, 04 Oct 2015 05:55:15 +0000

needed cache per day with loop shows a calender with days marked on which you have to geocache . But it doesn't say how much cache s you have find that day to reach the wished loop.

For instance I do have for now 1 cache find for today. I sat the loop to five. The day has now another colour. What I expected to see for today is the number 4.

Happy caching

Code for christmas checker needed

Wed, 24 Dec 2014 14:50:25 +0000

Hi community,

I´m looking for a checker, that checks the following:

Every day in december you have to find caches as the calendar shows. Means: You have to find on the 1st one cache, on the 2nd two cahes and so on. up to the 24th.

But the caches must be found in one year.

Would be nice, if the result is shown with a table.

Thanks for giving some ideas
