lakeuk Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I think I've found a way to get the Geocaching Stat Bar on a MySpace page, could any MySpace user please check out my page - http://www.myspace.com/lakeuk and confirm the following:- 1) That you can see the Stat Bar 2) When you right click on it what menu do you see - I see a quicktime menu 3) Finally add yourselve to my Myspace friends list - I've only got one friend at the moment (Tom) and he has 143million friends code I used :- <embed src="http://img.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?txt=Let's+go+geocaching&uid=98551b02-0db1-41ff-a9ec-b9e4c557006c&bg=1" border="0" title="Profile for lakeuk" alt="Profile for lakeuk" width="200" height="50"></embed> Link to comment
+sis Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) i see your stat bar. nothing happened when i right clicked on it besides quicktime. i can do a friend request when i get back to that site. i'm on myspace. thanks for the code. sis Edited December 28, 2006 by sis Link to comment
+mudsneaker Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I am seeing the quicktime when I right clicked, it took a couple trys of left/right clicking to get it. That rocks you got it to work! does it update correctly or is it just a snapshot? added you to my friends btw. Link to comment

Thanks Looking at mine, it's updated with the cache I did today Not got it clickable to my geocache profile working yet Link to comment
+mudsneaker Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 just wanted to say it took a bit of messing around to figure it all out, but i got it working too. Yup, confirming that it does update correctly too. And no, it doesnt link when clicked. Thanks SO much for figuring out how to add it!! this info should be added somewhere to a FAQ for others to use.

+CraigInCT Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I think your code works great My MySpace I think if it did link, you'd have to point to the gc.com homepage. I think only members can see our gc page and from myspace, you'd get mostly non members clicking it. Good job! Link to comment
+WeatherednBoston Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks for the stat bar code I think it's a great idea! Link to comment
+RiverCacher Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I've looked at everyone's myspace pages, and all I see is a blank box. Here is my page: http://www.myspace.com/wscottsmith Scott Link to comment
+mudsneaker Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 hrmm, Im on a borrowed laptop tonite and its showing up. odd Link to comment
+Right Wing Wacko Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) I have found that the best thing one can do to MySpace is add the following entry to your HOSTS file. 127.0.0.1 www.myspace.com Edited January 10, 2007 by Right Wing Wacko Link to comment
+mudsneaker Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 this thread is for how to use myspace, not how to block it from being used. although Im sure there are parents out there who may find that useful. Link to comment
+mudsneaker Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 good info to be had for those who like to use Myspace. Link to comment

+bpcooper14 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I added the stat bar to my myspace. I think it works. It shows up for me anyway. http://www.myspace.com/run4fun074 Link to comment
+"we two want to play too" Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'll finish mine later. Right now all I can get is lakeuk's stat bar and Signal the frog's stat bar. The frog hasn't been very busy... Link to comment
+mudsneaker Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I added the stat bar to my myspace. I think it works. It shows up for me anyway. http://www.myspace.com/run4fun074 your set to private user, so linking doesnt do much good for anyone whos not on your friends list. Link to comment
+"we two want to play too" Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) o.k., I can't make it work. I have looked at the coding from everyone's myspace (that wasn't set to private) and I cannot figure it out. The only thing I can figure is that I got the wrong # for my account in geocaching. What I did was go to http://www.cacherstats.com/Michigan2.html and then I clicked on my current stats. Then I right clicked on the stat box. That is where I got my account info. The only difference I see is that at the end of all of your #'s, it ends with &bg. So, I added that and I still get Signal the frog. If you check out my site, http:www.myspace.com/rltrimble you'll see I don't play with this stuff much so, what am I missing? Edited February 7, 2007 by "we two want to play too" Link to comment
+"we two want to play too" Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 just got it. forgot to add the &bg twice.... Thanks though. Funny how you came up with this just as I wanted it! Link to comment
+4leafclover Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I ended up saving a static image of the bar to my photobucket, and uploading that. I was able to create a LINK to my profile, but they had to be seperate. Link to comment
+bpcooper14 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 oops. didn't realize that. Hmmmm. should be all set now. Link to comment
+mudsneaker Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Lil Devil has made a working tool for producing a stat bar that functions correctly on Myspace. You just need to visit the GC.com stat bar creator and get your id number. originally posted Here Stats Bar Redirector Link to comment

+Lil Devil Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 woohoo. Got lil devils tool to work after figuring out the GUID thingy!!! I'll be happy to document that part better on my page if someone has a suggestion. Link to comment
+4leafclover Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) woohoo. Got lil devils tool to work after figuring out the GUID thingy!!! I'll be happy to document that part better on my page if someone has a suggestion. I think it's probably pretty easy. it is the series of numbers and letters after the letters "guid=" that appear in the box that gc.com provides on their stat bar page. I just highlighted everything after "guid=" to the close quotes, and apparently I guessed correctly. Edited February 8, 2007 by 4leafclover Link to comment

I'll be happy to document that part better on my page if someone has a suggestion. How about just having people paste in the entire URL then use a little bit of javascript to extract the GUID for them? It would probably be easier to explain.

+WeatherednBoston Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) Thanks Lil Devil! I now have a clickable stat bar that redirects to my GC profile Before it was just an image. Edited February 9, 2007 by WeatherednBoston Link to comment
+4leafclover Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Thanks Lil Devil! I now have a clickable stat bar that redirects to my GC profile Before it was just an image. that's how mine was. At least now, I know I can have either. Link to comment
+bpcooper14 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I undderstood the string length of characters that was needed. I just wasnt sure which url it was coming from. Trial and error a couple of times but it was no major issue. Link to comment
