Pictures in Cache Listing

[+LibDocAbq]

I would like to put up a new cache but it requires photographs to be inserted into the cache description. Can this be done? Is there a limit as to how many can be put?

 

Thanks for the help.

Submit the cache w/o checking the this is active box. Go to the webpage and you will see upload image in the upper right box. Upload images and afterwards go to them and right click. Copy the URL to a scratch pad.

 

Get a HTML writing program, there are many around. I use CoffeeCup but maybe someone will suggest others.

 

Insert the picture URL into the description and then copy the whole HTML from the program into the description box (check the HTML box) and you are done.

 

All of your current hides only use text in the description. You cannot insert a picture there. You could upload the image and then tell people to check the gallery for a particular picture. That would avoid the whole HTML thing.

I have a few geocache hide listings and would like to be able to add a picture to some of them. When I do, it comes up as a file attachment that one has to click on to see. I would like the picture to show up on the same page as the rest of the cache discription. I see pictures on other listings so I know it can be done. Do I need to write it in Html? (There I'm Lost!!!) Thanks

There's a difference between a link and an image

 

Try this

 

<img src="URL OF THE IMAGE">

Interesting comment Bittsen. Does that mean you can check the HTML box, type in all text except for the one line HTML you gave.

 

That would go along way towards making it much easier.

Oh, sorry, no. If you check the HTML box then the whole description needs to be in HTML.

If you aren't using anything but test in the description, just add <br /> between lines to give a paragraph break. You can add two of them to create a space between paragraphs.

 

For basic pages, that's all you need.

Not all but most of my cache pages have pic's Look Here .... I hand code my cache pages, the editors are ok I guess (to me they are a pain) I have most all the code I use in my head, once in a while I have a Lock up (Brain -freeze) and have to go to a cheat sheet

 

EDIT: This is the code for the short description Picture.

Hello there Gideon-X. I am heading to Yuma today and have been working on a few of your puzzles. Brings back memories of high school math.

Here is the HTML example that i use as the basic for all new caches i create.

 

Intruduction to cache (location history, etc.)

<P>

Main Text Body part 1

<P>

<img src="http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.jpg" width="500" height="350" />

<P>

Main Text Body part 2

<P>

<img src="http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.jpg" width="500" height="350" />

 

( I always use the width adjustment of w=500 h=350 as this is the width size for the GC.com page without having to scroll sideways with the blue bar to read all the text)
