clickable Stats Bar:
HINT:
The following information shows alternate ways to shorten the script used to create
the Stats Bar, and ways to use the code within forums and signatures that do not the use of
HTML code, and have limited space.
Note these can not be used in the Groundspeak™
forums, as image usage has been disabled for signatures there.
Method to use on a webpage in HTML code:
<a href="http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=0003"
target="_blank">
<img src="http://img.groundspeak.com/stats/img.aspx
?txt=View+my+stats&uid=51214b3d-6777-4c99-9508-b6107967ff29&bg=1"></a>
Method to use in BBCode (commonly used in forum message signatures):
[url=http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=0003]
[img]http://img.groundspeak.com/stats/img.aspx
?txt=View+my+stats&uid=51214b3d-6777-4c99-9508-b6107967ff29&bg=1[/img]
[/url]
Do not use the Enter key when entering
BBCode. If you copy and
paste, you may need to remove any line feeds or returns at the end of each line.
Substitute your own information in either script above in bold
blue as follows:
1) Your id number after "A=" (See the bottom of
this page for info on how to find your id number)
2) The target="_blank" parameter will
force a new
window to be opened when the bar is clicked. This can be omitted if space is
limited. While this may not be used in BBCode, some forums will automatically
force a new window, even without this parameter.
3) Your optional text after "txt=" (use "+" for any
spaces in text)
4) Your uid code after "uid="
5) Your optional background image choice after "bg="
For either method above, the /profile parameter may be your decimal
Member ID,
"A=",
your 36 character string User ID "guid=", or your actual user name "u=". See /profile above for
usage. Although ONLY the UID may be used for the second image link code.
?txt=text1+text2+textx....
Where
text is the any amount of text that will fit in the bar. (approximately 28 lower case
letters maximum)
If "txt=" is omitted, the default text
inserted into the bar reads, "Let's go geocaching".
&uid=x
Where x is the 36
character string form of the username id.
&bg=x Where x
is the background image id number in the table below.
(If this optional parameter is omitted then the default GC logo is used.)
|
x
value |
background image
example |
|
1 · GC logo (default) |
 |
|
2 · "Signal the Frog" |
 |
| 3 · "Georgia Geocachers Association |
 |
| 4 · "Alabama Geocachers Association" |
 |
|
As
of 2008/11/05, these were the only background images available. |
HINT:
See the bottom of this page for info
on how to learn and use a decimal Member ID number, code or name with the /profile
parameter. Also see the /stats/img.aspx section below for information on usage
the image in this bar. Here is the
another
explanation on how to make a stats bar. Note that it does not indicate how
to use it in HTML or BBCode or how to make the bar a clickable button.

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=67
Opens the page to view a log:
?LID=x Where x is the decimal log id number.
EXAMPLE: Log using the decimal log id number.
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LID=12315
?LUID=x Where x is the 36 or 38 character
string log id code.
EXAMPLE: 38 character string log id code style URL for a log entry:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID={0ce55a5b-d0d9-45c8-b057-13c47ff189ef}
The above URL from a Geocache log contains
the "{" and "}" symbols around the 36 character string.
These symbols are considered illegal in some applications such as AOL's AIM
program. So for example, if you Copy and Pasted the above URL to show to
someone while instant messaging with them, they would not be able to link
to it. While I have no idea why GC uses these characters, there
is a way around it that seems to work ok. Simply remove the
"{" and "}" symbols from the address before you send
the URL, or including it in an email.
EXAMPLE: The same URL without the characters described above:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=0ce55a5b-d0d9-45c8-b057-13c47ff189ef
Opens a log with a particular log image:
?IID=x Where x is an log image the id number.
(usage also requires one of the above log ids)
EXAMPLE: Using each type of log id:

blank
Opens the Advanced Search Page Except for "state_id",
all other results are sorted by distance, with closest caches first.
33
Opens the "All Geocaches" page in an Area Code, sorted by
?acode=xxx Where xxx is a 3 digit area
code
Opens the "All Geocaches" page for a country. If country has enough
caches, then Advanced page opens.
?country_id=x Where x a number representing
a country (goes to advanced search)
Opens the "All Geocaches" page with a keyword.
?key=one+two+three&submit4=Find Where one is the 1st word, two
is the 2nd, three is the third,
etc for a keyword search
Opens the "All Geocaches" page for a Pocket Query.
?pq=x Where x
is a 36 character pocket query identification code.
Opens the "All Geocaches" page in a State, Province or Country..
?state_id=x Where x
is a number representing a U.S. State, a Canadian Province or an entire country. See
the known list at the
end of this table. The page results are sorted by "Hidden" or "Event" date, with
newest date first.
Note that the "&dist=" parameter option (below) does not work with this
function.
HINT:
You can use the "&f=1" parameter option (below) to filter out caches you have
already found. Therefore if you subtract the number of "Total Records" shown on
the page from the number of "Total Records" without using the option, you will
have the total number of geocaches you have found in that state.
33
Opens the "All Geocaches" page from the origin coordinates of:
27
?lat=xxx.xxxxx&lon=yy.yyyyy Where xxx.xxxxx
is the latitude and yy.yyyyy is
the longitude in decimal degrees. (Values are positive
unless a negative sign is used. N & E are posituve. S & W are negative.)
OR
?lat_ns=ns&lat_h=h&lat_mmss=m&long_ew=ew&long_h=h&long_mmss=m
Where ns is 1 for North
or East and ew is -1 for South or West, h
is hours, and m is decimal minute
coordinates.
EXAMPLE:
Show all geocaches around the Washington Monument.
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?lat=38.8894&lon=-77.0353
EXAMPLE:
Show all geocaches around the Washington Monument.
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?lat_ns=1&lat_h=38&lat_mmss=53.364&long_ew=-1&long_h=77&long_mmss=02.118
HINT:
Show all geocaches around the Washington Monument within 1/2 mile. Use this
method to find all caches around a coordinate, to test for placement of a new
cache, as caches must not be less than .1 miles apart.
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?lat_ns=1&lat_h=38&lat_mmss=53.364&long_ew=-1&long_h=77&long_mmss=02.118&dist=.5
Opens the "Nearest Placenames" page.
?origin_lat=xxx.xxxxx&origin_long=yy.yyyyy Where xxx.xxxxx
is the latitude and yy.yyyyy is
the longitude in decimal degrees. (Values are positive
unless a negative sign is used)
Opens a geocache page for a specific type of geocache.
?tx=x Where
x is one of the following a special case searches:
25
x=9a79e6ce-3344-409c-bbe9-496530baf758 for All Geocaches
x=31d2ae3c-c358-4b5f-8dcd-2185bf472d3d for Webcam Cache
x=2555690d-b2bc-4b55-b5ac-0cb704c0b768 for Project APE

x=294d4360-ac86-4c83-84dd-8113ef678d7e for Virtual Cache
x=4bdd8fb2-d7bc-453f-a9c5-968563b15d24 for Letterbox
Hybrid
x=57150806-bc1a-42d6-9cf0-538d171a2d22 for Cache In Trash
Out Event
x=40861821-1835-4e11-b666-8d41064d03fe for Unknown Cache
x=32bc9333-5e52-4957-b0f6-5a2c8fc7b257 for Traditional

All Event Caches in Washington DC
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?st=21&tx=69eb8534-b718-4b35-ae3c-a856a55b0874
Opens the "All Geocaches" page for all caches
hidden by a user.
?u=x
Where x is
the user name who has hid the caches. Use a "+" for spaces in user names.
EXAMPLE: List caches hidden by Jeremy:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?u=jeremy
Opens the "All Geocaches" page for all caches
found by a user.
?ul=x
Where x is
the user name who has found the caches. Use a "+" for spaces in user names.
EXAMPLE: List caches found by Jeremy:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?ul=jeremy
Opens the specific geocache page for a
waypoint.
?wp=x Where
x is
a Geocache Code.
Opens the "All Geocaches" page in a Zip code.
?zip=xxxxx Where
xxxxx is
a 5 digit Zip code.
Optionally used with the above parameters.
&dist=x Where x
is the distance in miles from the origin of the search. Decimal
distances are accepted.
27
HINT: Add a Distance parameter when it is normally not available. Simply add
&dist=x
to the URL, where x is the
distance in miles.
EXAMPLE: Do a search for caches in the 210 area code:
Before:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?acode=210
Without a distance parameter, this seems to default to 100 mile radius.
After:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?acode=210&dist=10
This will show only a 10 mile radius.
This same technique works with the Latitude/Longitude search, and possibly
others.
Optionally used with the above parameters:
22
&f=1 Filters out "finds" when
used as in the following Example:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?lat=38.8894&lon=-77.0353&f=1
