Feature Request: Auto Link Waypoint Names

[+TochiHunt]

Automatically generate links for Waypoint Names found in cache descriptions or logs. A simple regexp for GCXXXXX and replace it with the standard link to: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GCXXXXX

 

So now, I can just click on the waypoint name. Simple enough.

 

Not sure if someone has already raised this idea (or maybe it's there for Premium members already), but this feature will definitely be very useful for me.

How about this:

[GCCODE=GCXXX]Cache Name[/GCCODE]

 

Here it is in practice: Toy Stash

I tried it on a sample cache and it didn't work. Works in the forums like you showed, but the OP was asking about using it on cache logs/descriptions:

Thanks Robert.

 

An example would be: Movie Mania - North

 

In the cache description, you'll see in blue:

If you enjoyed this cache, try doing Movie Mania - East (GCRTKJ) and West (GCRTQ2) (and, coming soon to a hidden location near you, Movie Mania - South - the hardest yet!!!!).

It would be nice if GCRTKJ and GCRTQ2 were turned into appropriate links.

The cache owner can link the codes if (s)he wants to. Let them decide.
