+The Mad MG's Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) Sorry if its another daft question, but how do I put a picture on the description area of one of my caches...IYSWIM. Just thought it would jazz the page up a little, or would it put people off printing out the cache page Thanks Edited May 16, 2008 by The Mad MG's Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Linking-wise I'm sure someone will be along shortly. I like photos on a cache page, so long as they are not too big! (Cache paperless, so no printing out pages) G Quote Link to comment
+The Mad MG's Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) I've tried using {img} {/img} , as I do elsewhere in cyberland, with no luck Edited May 16, 2008 by The Mad MG's Quote Link to comment
+martlakes Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hi, First you have to upload the pic to somewhere on the internet. The easiest place is, however, the cache page. Click 'upload image' in usual way. Then go to the gallery, which should now show your image. Click the image, which opens in a new window. Copy the address in the address bar at the top, something like: http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/74d407...e24201c7a91.jpg Second, edit your cache page. Click the box "the descriptions below are in HTML" Basic HTML is easy and various guides are available. Basically you put instructions in < > and < / > cancels it. So bold is < b > and to turn it off do < /b >. All without the spaces. Use < p > for a new paragraph, or < br > for a line break. Again without the spaces. To add a pic, with a title try something like this: < center >< b >Your title here< /b >< br > < img src= "http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/74d407c-9290-ee24201c7a91.jpg"> < /center > Replace the bit in inverted commas with the address of your pic. Keep the inverted commas! If you untick the box that adds the cache to the review queue, you can play around with it until you're happy, without getting it looked at by Deci. Hope that helps.

+Pharisee Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) Thanks again, thought I'd link the cache page.

+0100101001010010 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Good work. FYI, as a printing-out cacher, I can disable pictures and photos when I choose the printer-friendly page, so that shouldn't be a concern! Quote Link to comment
+Rubarbb Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 The cache is now ready and I'm quite pleased with it, Thanks again Sean FYI You can put <center> and </center> eitehr side of the image and it will centre the pic so be more in line with your text Quote Link to comment
