How about the following? (Don't know how to add the new cache record in core.py and the indents disappear...)

hildon_plugins.py, around line 830 add:


button = hildon.Button(gtk.HILDON_SIZE_FINGER_HEIGHT, hildon.BUTTON_ARRANGEMENT_VERTICAL)
button.set_label("Download Cache by GC-code")
button.connect("clicked", self._show_tool_download_by_name, None)
button.connect("clicked", lambda caller: dialog.hide())
list.pack_start(button)


hildon_plugins.py, button above could be accompanied by:

def _show_tool_download_by_name(self, caller, data = None):
dialog = gtk.Dialog("Dowload Cache by GC-code", self.window, gtk.DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT, (gtk.STOCK_OK, gtk.RESPONSE_ACCEPT))
search = hildon.Entry(gtk.HILDON_SIZE_AUTO)
search.set_text('GC')
dialog.vbox.pack_start(search)
dialog.show_all()
result = dialog.run()
dialog.hide()
name_search = search.get_text().strip().upper()
if result != gtk.RESPONSE_ACCEPT or name_search == '':
return
if left(name_search,2) != 'GC' or len(name_search) < 6 or len(name_search) > 7:
self.show_error("GC-code should be entered like GC1234 or GC12345.")
return
current_cache = self.core.get_geocache_by_name(name_search)
if current_cache.name != name_search:
# Search returned no geocaches. Add a new cache record to the db. Should be performed by core.py, can't figure that one out.
current_cache = newcache
self.core.on_download_cache(self.current_cache)

Hi,

i'm not programmer, but i have some idea, how to download caches. There is posibility to display caches around given coordinates, for example:

http://www.geocaching.com/seek/neare...submit8=Search

It is called from http://www.geocaching.com/seek/default.aspx

Is it usefull for ? (for programmers) ?

Can someone check if the latest cachedownloader.py works?

https://github.com/webhamster/advanc...dvancedcaching

for me it doesn't work, agtl doenst start anymore.

To pedro42: This is more or less what AGTL does. Then it reads the HTML page and puts the found geocaches into the database. But as the HTML coding changed, AGTL needs to be changed as well. My contribution was meant as a temporary work-around, but I could not finish it.
To bullrin: I cannot get changes in cachedownloader.py to work in AGTL. Only when downloaded as an update from within AGTL. I think this newest version from github was never officially released. You may check earlier discussions on page 28 of this thread.

The version on github is probably the new one for Harmattan with Qt Components based interface - there might have been some changes incompatible with the old Hildon interface in the meantime.

Might be easier use the new Qt Components based UI. With CSSU there should be all dependencies available. I'm actually integrating parts of AGTL into modRana (namely the PinchMap so far) and they run just fine & fast on the N900. Only issues are some missing icons due to the incomplete "base" theme for Qt Components on Fremantle.

so as far as i can see, there is no quick workaround or solution to download new geocaches at the moment?

Hi!

Sorry for letting you wait here. I haven't managed to really test the updated version and package it, as I still don't have an N900 again. I'm currently searching for one:

oh no! what a pity.

but can't you use Nokia QT SDK with the Emulator?
Otherwise you can ask us to test your code and give feedback.

I found the Nokia QT SDK with the Emulator quite hard to use with the python and GPS stuff. Remote testing is very tedious, I tried it already with some people.

webhamster just pushed some new code to github. Thanks, webhamster, can't wait to try it!
