AZcachemeister Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Every time I open the site, it tells me a new version is available...even though I updated it yesterday... Quote Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 New release has been deployed with "User Profile" option added. Thanks! And now you know how to rename it "public profile" and have that stick if you wish Until something else is added to the menu, then that won't work anymore. It's better to just let the menu option match the actual name of the page it takes you to. The script's i18n function is a good thing. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 The "log maximizer" script tells me it needs an update every day. I click to do the update and it says it installed correctly but the next day on my first visit to the site it says the same thing. If I click "show source" it has the same date as the last time. You need to clear your browser's cache. It's installing a cached copy instead of a new one. From the menu - Tools / Options / Advanced / Network / Clear Now No good. It popped up first thing this morning. Quote Link to comment

It popped up first thing this morning. That would be expected, if you cleared the cache the day before. You still had the old script installed. If you installed the current version today, it should say version 02.30 in the script manager. Assuming it doesn't, try installing again, but instead take the option to view the script. If the version number in the script isn't 02.30, then the problem is with your PC or more likely, your ISP. Some ISPs do their own site caching to make their service seem faster.

+Prime Suspect Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Can anyone tell me why they don't just have Prime Suspect build the site in the first place? You might see something like this added to the site in the future. So far, my "Additional Maps", "Driving Directions", "Log Totals by Type", "Instant Hint Decoder", and "Waypoint Quick Entry" script functions are now incorporated into the site. Quote Link to comment

If the version number in the script isn't 02.30, then the problem is with your PC or more likely, your ISP. Some ISPs do their own site caching to make their service seem faster. The proxy server at work here is caching 2.20. That usually happens because the HTTP headers from the server don't indicate the file has changed or have some high expiry time. Found a workaround that may work for others: Disable GreaseMonkey, click on the script so it shows up in the browser window, press CTRL-F5. This may coax the proxy to grab the file. If the version changes from 2.20 to 2.30 then go back one page, turn on GreaseMonkey and click the link again. Edited May 20, 2011 by Avernar Quote Link to comment

The "log maximixer" says 02.96 Quote Link to comment
+Shilo Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I found a way to fix it. Uninstall the thing. I went to reinstall it and get a server 501 error now...oppps Quote Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 The "log maximixer" says 02.96 Sorry. I was looking at the version for the script that this thread is about. When you bring up the script manager, what version number does it have for the Log Maximizer? Quote Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 That usually happens because the HTTP headers from the server don't indicate the file has changed or have some high expiry time. I've added an .htaccess file to the server that should fix that problem. Quote Link to comment

+Kacher82 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I just installed this script, and changed the "Upload Field Notes" link to "Edit Profile Details". It works, but for some reason, on the "Edit Profile Details" page, the My Stuff menu doesn't show. Any ideas why? It seems to show on all the other Geocaching.com pages. Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I keep forgetting this feature comes from Greasemonkey and when I used another browser I wonder where that window went. Thanks Fizzy, it's working again (it was line 102 for me too). I wish Groundspeak would just add this to the page as it is very useful. Quote Link to comment

+Ashallond Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) so while it works, I now have two entry boxes which the second one wraps down to the next line and messes up the look of everything else. How do I get rid of the first box (the one that shows up before the patch?) *Edit* Never mind. The other box was coming from the little helper script. these two used to coexist. *sigh* gotta now go through and make my linklist not need both on there.

+Don_J Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Okay now for me who never edited a greasemonkey can explain how to change it in layman terms? In Firefox, Tools/Add-ons/User Scripts. Find the script and right click on it, choose Edit. Find the proper line and edit it. (The lines are numbered down the left). File/Save. If you screw it up, just re-download it and try again.

+tomtwogates Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Okay - not a computer expert, but had the original of this script working until the update.

I still have a version working. Groundspeak went to https:// a couple of months ago so the URL definitions in the original won't work. There are some other changes, too, over the last couple of years. I don't know if the original will even work without modification, and since it had a copyright notice (IIRC) I don't feel free to give out my version. Quote Link to comment
