+summerrayne Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Some of the cache pages that out there just blow me away. I even found one with sound(WaSucally:Rock Creek Falls). I know a little about HTML but couldn't make it work. Just want to add a picture. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 to add a picture, have it sitting on your web space and insert it into the cache page by: <img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/directory/file.jpg"> Replacing the URL and filename as appropriate.

+summerrayne Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 By sitting on your web space you mean upload the image in "edit you account info?" Thanks for the help Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Your ISP probably provides you with some web space. (Most do.) To have an image show up in a web page, the image must be "out there on the internet" somewhere. It cannot just be on you computers disk drive. If you do not have web space, or don't know how to get a picture into your web space, then HTML won't help. The process of uploading photos to your web space is different for each ISP. You need to talk to them. For your profile page at geocaching.com, they allow you to upload a picture to their web space. You won't be able to store images for your cache pages on your profile page.

+summerrayne Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 That explains the error messages I been getting too. I use netzero so I don't know about my space. Will find out. Thanks again Link to comment

DustyJacket Actually, you can and I do. Any image you upload to your profile has a url and can be referenced from any of your cache pages. The format is http://img.Groundspeak.com/user/nnnnn_pppp.gif where nnnnn is your userid and pppp is a number assigned to the picture file when you upload it. Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I was taking the simple way out. Trying to keep it simple. Somehow I knew someone would mention this. The profile space was not meant to be used to store images for cache pages, was it? DustyJacket Not all those that wander are lost. But in my case... Link to comment
+nittany dave Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I don't know, but I also see many cache pages where people have uploaded a pic to the cache page and then used that pic as a background or other image on the page. Would there be a difference in having an image on your profile vs. an image uploaded to the cache page itself? If this is frowned upon I'd like to know. I haven't read anything about it in the guidelines and assumed that it wouldn't be a problem. If it is, I'll discontinue the practice. Link to comment
+DustyJacket Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Using a pic as a background (which I hate because of my bad eyesight) is a simple HTML command, regardless of the picture's location. For cache logs, you can upload to geocaching.com's site, but for pictures embedded in the description, I just use my web space on my own domain. I have no idea what Jeremy and TPTB think of using profile space for cache page photos, so I wouldn't sweat it until they talk to you. On the other hand, I wouldn't recommend it to others either. Aren't I the helpful one? DustyJacket Not all those that wander are lost. But in my case... Link to comment
+summerrayne Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 Thanks for the help. I was able to place a picture on my cache site. It seems netzero does not have any space. Get what you pay for I guess. Anyway I had to upload the picture to the cache page and make the path to there. Its not the best way but I seem to have no other options. Thanks all Link to comment
