Would this be useful? Is it doable?
(Well almost... not working on queries for some reason)

Yep, getting that myself on query related maps. workin' on it!SamCarter wrote:I was about to say "You guys are awesome" but I have to hold it in reserve for a minute or two. It's not quite working (for me) yet. I get the extra line that begins "Last logs" but the icons themselves aren't showing -- there's just a blank space. I'm running Firefox 9.0.1 on a Mac. I checked with Safari (5.1.1), and I get four question-mark icons, suggesting it can't find the needed images. Don't have IE to check there.
ROTFL in both amusement and appreciation. 9:49-10:56 ... on a Sunday night. Brilliant.CraigRat wrote:Done! sorry for the delay!

perhaps if this is the major issue we can send this information only to GCA apps or just displayed on the website.gmj3191 wrote:Hundreds of apps feeding off GCA?caughtatwork wrote: Creating new log types at GCA is easy.

Well there's one we know of, and the developer of that one is already involved in this discussion.
Are there others, and who supports them? It would be good to have this information anyway.
No. Hundreds of 3rd party apps that read GPX files. They read the GPX file believing that the only place in the world that produces them is GC.com. They then parse the GPX file according to their ability and knowledge of the GC.com GPX schema. So anything that comes in a GPX file that is NOT in the GC.com GPX schema causes various problems either by failing nicely or failing catastrophically.gmj3191 wrote:Hundreds of apps feeding off GCA?caughtatwork wrote: Creating new log types at GCA is easy.

GPX files, not just real time apps.mtrax wrote:perhaps if this is the major issue we can send this information only to GCA apps or just displayed on the website.gmj3191 wrote:Hundreds of apps feeding off GCA?caughtatwork wrote: Creating new log types at GCA is easy.

ie create a new LOG type of "found and Taken" and only expose this to apps which explicitly request it eg GCA Cacher and the website.
I see the Moved log type doesn't appear in my GPX file so can this "Grabbed" log type be treated the same way? or converted to Note log type
