LonelyCache

Hi,

Here's another update. The changes are:

• Added a couple of links to the Geocacher page to show what hides you have found and haven't found. You need to be logged in to the site for this to work. So, for example if you are looking at another Geocacher's page, near the top, in the Hides summary, beside the "View Hides" link, there will be two other links: "You've found x" and "You haven't found y". If you've found all the hides or none of the hides, then a note is displayed instead of the links.
• This is a change a lot of you have been waiting for. Now when you access the site, your recent finds will be automatically updated. Basically, what is happening is a list of all your finds for the past eight days is retrieved from Geocaching.com. Then, for each find we check to see if it is already recorded on LonelyCache, if so, then nothing is done. If not, then we check whether the cache is known to LonelyCache. If it is, then the top 30 logs are retrieved and any finds are added, and the cache points are recomputed. If it is not known to LonelyCache, then, if it is in the LonelyCache territory, it is added to the LonelyCache Database and all find logs are retrieved and the points are computed.

Some things to remember. You have to be logged in for both of these changes to work. Also, to have your finds automatically be updated, you have to check the "Update Recent Finds" check box on your profile page.

Enjoy

Awesome. I really like the found/haven't found lists! I look forward to using the auto-update feature next time I get out (haven't since 12-12-12), and have already set the flag on my profile.
