Enhance output format by optional criterion

[steve8x8]

The "wherigo" output format, in its current state, lists nonsensical information for all found WIDs. It should be limited to caches whose "type" is "wherigo". This could be achieved by adding another value to the template, checking for "\"<%wp.type%>\" == \"wherigo\"" as a precondition for templateWP output. There might be other usage cases as well, any suggestions?

Released with 3.24.0.

Leaving this issue open (although considered resolved) for comments and suggestions.

There's another application of this feature: notification of new caches in the vicinity via Twitter DM.

Basic idea:

• use geotoad to
  • get list of newest caches (via state search which is sorted by creation date - but doesn't allow a search radius)
  • output only if distance is below some limit (defined in the template) - see #316 for the necessary environment settings (I have no idea how to use this with Windows)
• then (wrapper script)
  • compare with results of previous runs (keep a list of already known caches), and
  • send new ones line by line using a Twitter CLI like twidge.

Here's the corresponding template that demonstrates usage of the conditionWP expression:

template = {

  'twitter' => {
    'ext'         => 'twt',
    'mime'        => 'text/plain',
    'desc'        =>     'Twitter-ready',
    'templatePre' => "",
    # output condition: distance must be <= 10km
    'conditionWP' =>
      "\"<%out.relativedistancekm%>\".to_f <= 10",
    'templateWP'  =>
      "coord.info/<%out.wid%>" +
      " <%out.latdegmin%> <%out.londegmin%>" +
      " <%out.nuvi%>" +
      " \"<%wpText.name%>\" by <%wpText.creator%>" +
      " (<%out.cdateshort%>)" +
      " <%out.relativedistancekm%>" +
      "\n"
    },

}

The link is clickable; nuvi has been used here to keep the cache characteristics short; on the other hand, the coordinates are shown in DD:MM.MMM format for easier map lookups (but one could also use the wp.latwritten and wp.lonwritten DD.DDDDD representations). You're free to write your own templates!
