A userscript library that provides core functionality for cache series statistics banners on geocaching.com.
The stats banner was originally conceived and implemented by BaSHful for sadexploration's Church Micro Series, a hugely popular series of caches covering the entire UK, with a few in other countries as well.
In order for the library to function, the cache series must have a means of serving data to the banner. The library currently understands the series of web sites designed by Chris ~ AKA Bus.Stop, based on that provided for the SideTracked series of caches.
Sites also exist for:
These sites provide URLs which serve the data and images which comprise the banner. This library uses these services to add the banners to the appropriate pages on geacaching.com:
Both the new and old page styles are supported.
I would love to see more series able to take advantage of this. There are quite a few candidate series but work will be required in order to create the service which provides the data and images, whatever method is used.
The Village Hall Series now has a banner graphic but its use is entirely manual on the part of the cacher. I'd like to see whether it's possible to automate the process of determining a cacher's level and displaying the graphic.
