GSAK

I am trying to load my stats from GSAK. I have the macro loaded for genstats but I don’t know how to get the HTML to copy to load it onto my profile page.

Thanks for the help

After the macro is done running, the code is already in your clipboard ready to paste.

I figure we can use this thread as a general GSAK help thread for those of us that don’t wanna go to the GSAK forum on its website – lol.

My question is – how can I copy individual caches from one database to another?

[Team Deejay]

To Copy caches between databases:

1. Open the database to be copied.
2. Filter the list to only get the caches you want to copy. You can use the user select checkbox if nothing else will work.
3. On the top menu, Database | Move/Copy Waypoints. Pick the destination database. Hit go.

Anyone have trouble getting Rusk county showing up in Findstats 4?? It is the only county that doesn’t show but yet it shows I found caches below in the counties found list.

Ok, where is my clipboard. I search for it and can not find it. Windows 7 on the laptop.

all you have to do is hit paste when you are on your “edit your profile” page.
and the HTML code will show up.

Ahhh, so simple. Thanks Barry/Val

Okay, here’s another GSAK question: This is a minor issue, but it’s made us very curious as to why it happened. When we run the findstatgen macro, the results show 1 more find than we actually have. It’s no big deal, since we use cachestats for our profile page, but does anyone have a thought about how to correct this error? Going through each cache one by one would be far more effort than it’s worth, but maybe there’s an easier way.

[Team Deejay]

Extra “find counts” in GSAK represent caches which you have logged more than once. Do a filter on the database to look for caches where there is more than one log by you. (There will probably several if you used notes for droping bugs, etc.) Then examine each of those for a multiple find. I had this happen to me when I logged one cache in a series twice and missed another one in the same series.

There’s an easy way via the filtering option.

Search -> Filter -> Log Tab
Logs to search = All + Found (uncheck Unfound + Others)
Required Count = Greater than or equal 2
Logged By = Check the box to enable, select Exact Match, and then enter your caching ID in the Details box.

This should filter the results to caches where you have 2 (or more) “Found” logs.

If that doesn’t work, let me know and I’ll have you send me your PQ from GC.com and load it into GSAK and find it for you.

Once we got the filter to go, we had 13 caches with more than one “found” log, but all of them were caches that had bonuses attached, events with temps, or multis where you could log each stage as a find. All seemed to be logged correctly. The confusing part is that cachestats uses the same PQ, but shows the correct number of finds according to GC.com.

[Team Deejay]

OK, then your problem is the other direction. You have a cache in your database which you have marked as found, but you didn’t actually log a find on it. Filter your list for found caches, then filter for cache with no found logs by you. See if anything comes up.

[Barry Butrymowicz]

what might have happened, (it happened to us) a log was deleted by a cache owner, after you had that cache in your database of found caches. When you upload your new all finds PQ it will not remove it from the database, it only updates and adds the new ones to the list.

We were one off for a while till we figured that out.

[Todd300]

That happened to me once, Barry. I once posted a log saying the cache terrain rating should be a 1.5, not a 1 since it was a drive up, but not wheelchair accessible. I then downloaded the “My Finds” PQ.

The CO got pissed and deleted my log. I re-posted my log with a cut and paste “TFTC”. Then downloaded another “My Finds” PQ. The result was 2 finds for that one cache in my database. I ended up deleting that database and making a whole new one so my stats would be accurate.
