+Shilo Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 During a plucker run of a .gpx file it hangs on bad html on some cache pages. I've figured out a work around but what should I do to get the bad html fixed? I heard something about 'TIDY' that Groundspeak uses to fix bad html. Does this exist? Or they run it on new caches pages or something to that effect. Who do I go to for help? Thanks Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 This has rendered my PDA utterly useless. Can you link to a forum thread where the workaround is discussed, so that I can use pocket queries on my PDA again? I don't wish to derail this thread. I agree with you; the HTML is quite often a nuisance. Is the problem caused by old cache pages, created before the site began using HTML Tidy? If so, Tidy only does its thing if the owner edits the cache page. Tidy acts on all newly created cache pages and edits to existing cache pages. Link to comment

Can you link to a forum thread where the workaround is discussed, so that I can use pocket queries on my PDA again? How long has this been going on for you? I haven't had any troubles at all. But then, I use my own application to generate the HTML for Plucker, and if I find something it doesn't like, I just add that to the list of things it strips out. But it seems to me that this is a big problem. Running Tidy on all existing cache pages is not a viable solution, unfortunately. But maybe there could be some mechanism by which people could report cache pages that have bad HTML in them and have just those pages run through Tidy. Link to comment

I wasn't for sure. It would be nice to be able to point out certain cache pages for tidy. I understand everyone couldn't be done daily. That would kill the server I'm sure. Here's my Post In this thread I was reading in. If you need a better explanation, let me know and I'll give it to you tonight after work. Thanks for all the replies and hopefully we can get someone from Groundspeak to help us on the bad html cache pages Link to comment

But maybe there could be some mechanism by which people could report cache pages that have bad HTML in them and have just those pages run through Tidy. I use Watcher, Plucker and Spinner to sort my pocket queries and load them onto my PDA. Since January, I've not been able to do this, because Plucker "hangs" on caches, just as described in the forum thread linked to by Shilo (thanks!). Manually removing each offending cache from a 500-cache query isn't very viable. I stumbled across a similar solution on my own. Remove cache #42, rerun Plucker, watch Plucker hang on cache #85, remove cache #85, etc. What some cache page owners regard as "expressions of creativity" effectively prevents me from using pocket queries for their intended purpose. I am using the software tools recommended by Geocaching.com on the "waypoints" page, but they *do not work.* That is unfortunate. Out of frustration, I solved the problem by purchasing a laptop computer, which I now run in the car using a power invertor. Watcher works just fine in the car. But if I hike to the cache and need to consult the cache page, like for a multicache, I am out of luck. Link to comment
+fizzymagic Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 What some cache page owners regard as "expressions of creativity" effectively prevents me from using pocket queries for their intended purpose. Amen to that! I couldn't have said it better. Cache descriptions should be in plain-vanilla HTML; bells and whistles belong off-site. Out of frustration, I solved the problem by purchasing a laptop computer, which I now run in the car using a power invertor. Watcher works just fine in the car. But if I hike to the cache and need to consult the cache page, like for a multicache, I am out of luck. If we could have a list of caches that cause Plucker to barf, we can write a set of filters to fix the offending things in Spinner. I know LilDevil is somewhat distracted these days, but I'll bet I could give him some pre-packaged filtering code and he could put it into Spinner. It's odd, though, that you have only been experiencing this since January. Because all new cache pages have been run through Tidy since well before than. Is there a new version of Plucker that is causing this? If there is stuff that Tidy is letting through that causes Plucker to barf, maybe the Tidy configuration should be changed to disallow it.

+The Leprechauns Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Fizzy, thanks for the sympathy. When I tried working with a PQ in January, it was the first time in many months that I had done so. (I took a break from high-power geocache finding from September to January.) So I just figured that something had changed, and I hadn't gotten the memo. I lack the technical expertise that people like you and Lil Devil have to deal with such issues. I think there are others in the same boat. I budgeted this evening to do my route planning for a Memorial Day weekend roadtrip out of state. If I have time, I will run a query or two through Plucker and note any caches that hang up the process. If they sail through, then this may isolate the problem to an amateur HTML jockey in my local area, and I will run a PQ of my local area to note offending caches. But if I don't get to it tonight, it will have to wait until next week. Link to comment
robertlipe Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I've been on both Leprechaun's and Plucker's end of that stick - both as a user that wants it to Just Work and as a developer that has a parser blown away by wildy incorrect interpretations of HTML, it's a bummer. Though I've contributed a few fixes to Plucker's python code to make it more resilient, I'm a big fan of pushing the solution to this problem upstream. A Perl jock can simply not regex away every malformed expression, though they can nick at it one by one. Get a reviewer or cache owner to "fix" the cache page in question. 99% of the time, a simple edit (insert a space or something) will fix the page, once you've identified it. Be prepared for noise from the 1% of the offending cache pages are so horribly malformed that tidy dogmeatifies them - and for resistance to the arguments that those pages were already dogmeat and already didn't work correctly in a variety of browsers. The "but it works in Internet Explorer" crowd can be vocal. In my experience, it's frequently a low number of cache page owners in an area responsible for this problem in case you want to solve this problem via ignore lists... Link to comment
+5winters Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I used to get the same result with my spinner/plucker/palm. So I though to myself what pages use more html than others - "puzzles". On my next PQ I downloaded, I excluded that type and wham it worked. It's been working like a champ ever since and my caching experience has been much more satisfying. But If I do discover a Puzzle I want to do I do enter it manually. Link to comment

+Shilo Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 If there is stuff that Tidy is letting through that causes Plucker to barf, maybe the Tidy configuration should be changed to disallow it. From what I understand is that Tidy is used when the cache is sent for approval and thats it. I always change my cache pages after they get approved (because its usually pretty fast here) so I think this is where the problem gets started. 5winters has a good point about puzzle caches. The one cache I had hang from my Gulf Shores PQ wasn't a puzzle cache though. I didn't have my workaround for my Chattanooga, TN PQ last week so I don't know what type of cache(s) it was. I will have to go run one and see. I'm curiuos now. Sorry to hear of your multiple hangs fizzy. Sounds like a long drown out issue trying to do it the way I suggested . I don't have this issue (so far) here at home. Still wish we could get a technical person from geocaching to find a way we can send caches to a que to be run through Tidy. Some cache owners probably don't know how to fix it if they even knew they had a bad html tag somewhere. Link to comment

+WascoZooKeeper Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) I've had a similar problem, as Robert is well aware, since he helped me debug some of them over in the GSAK forums. I've found that Sunrise Desktop helps a lot for me; it seems to be much more resilient than Plucker in handling malformed HTML code. You still need Plucker, inasmuch as Sunrise uses the Plucker reader on the handheld itself. However, Sunrise effectively replaces the desktop component of Plucker. It seems to be a bit faster for me, too. The downside is that it doesn't seem to be able to handle quite as large a volume of input as Plucker. My very largest set contains about 2300 caches and I have to tell Sunrise not to output images in order for it to work without a stack overflow. This is not a big loss to me, though. I believe I downloaded it from sourceforge.net. Edited May 25, 2006 by WascoZooKeeper Link to comment

+Allen_L Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Geocaches that were in the system before TPTB added HTMLTidy are not run through HTMLTidy until they are edited. So if they had bad HTML they will keep it until edited. Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Since TB info is also included in PQs, they can also cause problems. I know of at least one TB where the owner thought it would be cute to embed an image URL in the bug's name, with no regard to what problems it might cause. Link to comment

+niraD Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 The first cache that hung up plucker was this travel bug hotel. Can an HTML expert diagnose this?Yuck. The template used by GC.com is a mess. The HTML under control of the cach owner is fairly clean. The main problem is with the markup for "The Selector", which tries to stuff a table element into a paragraph. Since the GC.com template uses XHTML, the paragraph must be closed explicitly with </p> before the table can be opened. Link to comment

For my trip this weekend I will get by with using my laptop computer in the car and hunting in the field without cache descriptions or hints. Hmmmmm, I think I'm seeing a pattern here. The cache in question of mine also has this "the selector" in it. My work around was just to get the PQ to run for the rest of the caches instead of letting 1 or 2 caches ruin the whole PQ run. I would suggest printing out the TB hotel on paper a putting the waypoint in manually or through EasyGPS if you really wanted to do this cache. In my instance the cache hanging up my pq isn't on my route anyway so I'm just ignoring it all together. I have 480 other caches so I will keep busy enough. I'm not a computer expert or I would try to find a easier or permanant solution to this. This is what I found to work for me in my case. I was fortunate it was only 1 cache. Others here have found 5 or 6 in one PQ so my idea is a lot of work. If it was my home area it would be worth it but just for a weekend getaway, no. If I come up with something better I'll let you all know. Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) But in just about every query I run, there are dozens and dozens of caches that still insist on using the non-searchable, page-hogging Selector graphics instead of the GC.com attributes. Some are probably excellent caches, and if they meet my PQ criteria, they are caches I'd like to search for. My questions: 1. Can someone with more expertise confirm that "The Selector" is the correct diagnosis? I am not qualified due to limited technical skills. I know that I *used* to be able to get pages with Selector graphics to appear on my PDA. They were annoying, as I had to scroll past the pictures and logos, but at least I could get to the cache description. 2. In the next update to the Groundspeak GPX namespace, can GC.com include the built-in Cache Attributes as part of the data contained in a pocket query? This might reduce people's perceived need to include Selector graphics on their cache pages. 3. Is there a site-side fix, like tweaking HTML Tidy, or is that a "canned" process? I guess I don't understand why Tidy wouldn't insert the missing command, if that is standard HTML or XHTML or whatever the terminology is. 4. Are GC.com volunteer cache reviewers authorized to edit cache pages that make pocket queries choke when run through the recommended software such as Plucker?

I stripped it down pretty throughly - I took out the "Selector table" coloring, and included only what I wanted in that table. So...hm. I guess it's not automatically the images from the Selector that are doing it. I wonder if it's the entire table-code that does it. I still offer up my stripped-down Selector-coded cache page for testing by others to see if it makes their version of Plucker puke. Link to comment

Ironically, the example travel bug hotel I mentioned earlier turned out to be one of the 16 caches that we found, out of 900+ that were in my queries. It happened to be at the interstate exit we chose to jump off at for random exploration. It was a wet ammo box(!) in plain sight, hanging from a tree in the woods adjoining a hotel parking lot. It had no travel bugs in it except for the three "ghost" bugs that the owner has parked there (to make it look busy, I guess?). The Selector icons really didn't do much to help this cache.
