load owner logs and display them prominently #12727

Tell us your idea!

Logs by the cache owner often contain important information, like a hint that may help you find locating the cache or maintanance notes. As such those logs are more important than others and should be loaded - just like already in place for "own" and "friend" logs which are shown in a special tab.

What solution would you suggest?

Load all owner logs and display them in logs tab - maybe also include them in friends/own logs tab.

Additional Information

The existing URL we're using for loading logs (https://www.geocaching.com/seek/geocache.logbook) supports the parameters sp and sf to get own and friends logs. Couldn't find any info about this one, neither could I guess a parameter that retrieves owners logs. GClh script implements loading the owners/vips/vups logs by fetching all pages of logs and filtering them by username. For caches with many logs this generates a lot of network traffic though. We should try to find a better way - or if none can be found maybe this can be made an option with a "load all logs" button?

Maybe we should start with implementing a generic possibility to load older logs?
