Geocaching Travel Bug List Order
This script will reorder the list of Travel Bugs on the Log a Cache page, optionally by name or tracking number.
Geocaching Hide Nav Bars
Are you using a small screen and find the navigation bar on the left and right sides of a geocaching.com page takes up too much space?
With this script you can hide or show the navigation bars quickly and easily, freeing up valuable space for actual content.
Latest Versions
You have arrived at this page because one of my Greasemonkey scripts alerted you that a new version of itself is available. The script that alerted you is highlighted below in yellow (unless you have JavaScript disabled).
To upgrade your copy of any script, just click on the appropriate "Install" link.
Geocaching Bag-o-Tricks
This script makes several small but useful improvements to the Geocaching.com website.
Geocaching Friends List Enhancements
This script does several things. It changes the "Found:" and "Hidden:" numbers on your Friends List into links that will take you to their lists of finds and hides. It sorts the friends list. It adds links to your friend's picture galleries and recent forum posts. And it tells you how many new finds and hides each of your friends have made since the last time you opened the page.
Geocaching Fix Log Page Reload
When entering an "Update Coordinates" log, this script automatically enables the coordinates input boxes. If you subsequently disable those input boxes, the script will warn you that the log won't work.
Geocaching VIP List
This script adds a useful display to help you quickly find your friend's and family's logs, and to easily determine if you've found the cache or not. You can also show or hide certain subsets of logs from the cache logs display.
Geocaching Better Driving Directions
This script gives driving directions to the parking area (if defined) instead of the cache coordinates.
Geocaching Google Map Enhancements
This script enhances the geocaching.com Google map page by increasing the map size, reducing white space, hiding disabled caches, and stopping the automatic refresh. And there's more!
2010-02-11 New VIP List script is finally here
After a long and difficult process, version 3.0 of my VIP List script is now available!
Many, many new features. Foremost is the option to always load all logs. A legend to show what the different colors and shading mean. Show a picture frame next to logs in the VIP List that have images. Ability to show dates in user-defined formats (e.g. M/D/Y or Y/M/D etc.). An option to denote who has logged multiple finds on the same cache. A "mine" icon next to the cache name for caches owned by the logged-in user. Much more.
2010-01-13 Several Script Updates
Groundspeak drastically updated the geocaching.com website today, breaking all of my scripts. Fortunately, as a reviewer for them, I was able to beta-test the new website and get a head-start on updating my scripts. Most of my scripts have now been updated to work with the site layout. However, one of them, VIP List, is a bit more complex than the others and will take me another couple of days to finish.
You can just click the version number of the scripts below to download the scripts directly, or click the names to get more information about the scripts.
Lil Devil's Greasemonkey Scripts
Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that enables web pages to be re-written on the fly. Page elements can be added, changed, moved, and deleted altogether. How a page is changed is controlled by a Greasemonkey User Script, which is written in JavaScript. Several User Scripts which I have written are listed on the right.
2008-08-19 New script: Geocaching VIP List
For those of you who like Prime Suspect's excellent True Totals script, you're going to really love this one. The namesake function of that script was ultimately implemented by Groundspeak directly onto the cache page, but the secondary function, giving you quick links to your own cache logs, continued to be useful (until broken by the recent site update). Now imagine having links to not only your own logs, but also to the logs of certain, special cachers. These "VIPs" might be your friends, family, or anyone else you want to keep an eye on.
The following will appear just below the "Navigation" buttons on the right-hand side of all cache pages. (of course with links to YOUR VIPs.)
2008-08-13 Updated Bag-o-Tricks script and new Friends List script
Wow I can't believe how long it's been since I put out any updates. I've been working on several scripts over the last few months and it's about time I "shoot the engineer" and get the scripts published.
A couple of weeks ago the geocaching.com site was changed again and broke a bunch of my stuff. I fixed the Geocaching Bag-o-Tricks script and published it, and then yesterday I found a much better way to widen the text input boxes so I put out another update.
I also wrapped up my new Geocaching Friends List Enhancements script. It changes the "Found:" and "Hidden:" numbers on your Friends List into links that will take you to your friend's lists of finds and hides, and it changes all the links on the Friends page so they will open in a new window or tab.
2007-11-01 Updated Geocaching Bag-o-Tricks script
It's been a while since I put out any updates, and since the geocaching.com site was changed again to further break my scripts, I figured I should fix them and get them out. So here is the updated "Bag-o-Tricks" script.
In addition to a few bug fixes, there are several new features. Most notable are the small map can be moved from the sidebar back into the coordinates box where it resided in the past, and there is an option to hide the disclaimer box from the cache page for those of us who know the terms and conditions well and are tired of being reminded of them.
Read more about the changes on the bottom of the script page.
2007-01-10 New script: Geocaching Collapse Blocks
Ever get tired of all those blocks taking up real estate on the right-hand side of a cache page? Navigation, Attributes, Inventory and Bookmark Lists. Sometimes you just get tired of them. Now you can collapse them to just their title bar, or even make them disappear completely.
Stay tuned for another new script I'll be releasing soon. It's pretty much done, but I want to test it a bit more. It is kind of similar to Prime Suspect's Totals By Log Type script but instead of showing a list of just your own logs, it gives a list of logs by everyone on your personal VIP list.
2007-01-04 Updated Geocaching Bag-o-Tricks script
I just updated the "Geocaching Bag-o-Tricks" script. A user in Texas asked for an owner email link on the travel bug page, which was easy since I already had most of the code from the cache page. While re-testing everything I also noticed that the new Details section on the Edit Profile page wasn't getting widened so I fixed that along with a minor bug that was causing superfluous JavaScript errors when viewing a print-friendly page.
Stay tuned for a couple of new scripts I'll be releasing soon. They're pretty much done, but I want to test them a bit more.
