Several improvements and fixes on geocaching.sunamo.cz

Yesterday evening, having finished going through almost the entire gc.cz Wiki, I took another look at my website geocaching.sunamo.cz to finish the following things:

  1. Re-uploaded the waypoints of caches 1-50, which I had deleted from the DB through my own carelessness. Hopefully it won’t happen again.
  2. When sending to the website, all data is now encoded using the JavaScript method encodeURI, so a + in the listing and elsewhere no longer turns into a space
  3. You can now select/deselect multiple caches using shift – that is, you select one cache without shift and then select another cache with shift, and depending on whether the first cache was selected or not, all caches in the range between the first and second selected one are selected as well.
  4. Caches.aspx now shows the number of found caches.
  5. Search engines such as Google or Bing should no longer index any pages in the GeoCaching folder – thanks to Robots.txt. It will take a while before these pages of mine disappear from search results, but now all that’s left is to wait.
  6. Now “My comment” is visible only to me when I’m logged in. So far I haven’t received a single email saying that I’m giving away spoilers, which is a small miracle.
  7. Permanent/persistent login should now finally work – meaning that even if you close all windows with my pages and open them again after any amount of time, if you were logged in, you will be logged in again. For now, though, it only works if you check “Log in automatically“.

The next thing I’ll add will be route planning – a kind of list of caches for “various occasions“. Today I’ll just solve caches, and tomorrow I’ll head out to hunt more caches in Cesky Tesin and the surrounding area.
