log diff - should show when log type changes, e.g. "note" to "found it". Edited logs notifier should also be triggered.

Sat, 20 Apr 2024 13:01:47 +0000

Both the "log diff" tool and the "edited logs notifier" should trigger and display when the log type changes.

Several of my caches have logging requirements, and if they don't satisfy the requirements, I may need to delete their log. Sometimes persistent newbies will keep trying to log it and I have to delete the logs again.

I get an email with every new log, so I know to check qualifications then, but if a user logged it as a "note", then waited a while, and then changed it to a "found it", I would not have any notification of that and their log may stay without my knowledge.

Project-GC Edited logs notifier - incorrect information about log type

Tue, 10 Nov 2020 17:52:42 +0000

Hello,

I think that this feature do not capture original log type correctly. I'm using it for a long time, but I don't remember if I've ever seen indication of changed type of log - it always says "Found it Found it" or "Write note Write note", even when player has changed the type of his log.

This is example, where I know 100% that player has changed Found it to Write note, because I asked him to do so. Project-GC is notifying me about Write note to Write note. Unfortunately, it seems to me that most important part of this feature does not work.

Can anyone verify and confirm, please? Is it possible to fix it?

Thank you.

Edited logs notifier API problem?

Sat, 06 Jun 2020 05:27:29 +0000

Hello, for the last two weeks I've been receiving edited logs in a weird format. There is always §OPTOUT and some numbers instead of nickname and phrase "Content unavailable. This user has opted-out of sharing certain information with API Authorized Developers.". When I look at the profile, sometimes the users are inactive for some years and it doesn't seem they changed their logs ever.

Is it possible that there is some bug in this function?

Thank you!

Have notification for edited logs on own caches stopped working?

Sun, 30 Sep 2018 17:48:52 +0000

I have up until recently received notifications from pgc on edited logs on my own caches very nicely. But now this function seems to have stopped. Last notification was on 16th of september. Anyone else experience the same scenario?

And, Yes, I know there are edited logs after that, I am still a paying member (membership payed until 2022) and I have checked that notification for edited logs still is ticked under my settings on project-gc.

Edited Logs Notifier - include genuine log

Mon, 03 Apr 2017 15:26:33 +0000

I'm appreciating and gladly using all of the PGC features, especially since I've turned paying member few years ago. You are getting closer to the perfection.

My concern at this moment are the logs edited on the geocaches I own. Even though there are not really much of them. Do not considere this any request, please. Rather a pure question.

Would it be technically possible to include the genuine logs in the emails sent by the "Edited logs notification"?

Well, I know, I can compare the new, edited log with the genuine one, saved in my mailbox. Still it would spare my time, if I saw both in one email and so I could get the info immediately and get the clue, what and why has it been changed. Especially if it happens with few years' old logs.

I found one older related question: http://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=152/why-doesnt-edited-log-notification-show-original-log&show=152#q152, but this one was asked and answered in September 2014. And really much has changed on GC and PGC sites since then.

Thanks.

edited logs shows all logs on my caches

Wed, 13 Jan 2016 14:56:23 +0000

I've noticed lately that I get "edited log"-emails for logs which have just been posted, and which does not include the usual edit text in the log. This includes the attended-log I made on my own event, which I know I did not edit.

Thanks for a great site!
