Guest Eoghan Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 What options are open for formatting log entries? Jeremy's added the ability to upload photos, but it doesn't look like any html tags work. Can you use UBB code? Personally I hope it never ends up with indiscriminate html usage. Nothing more annoying than blinking, multi colored, 72 pt garbage. But I wouldn't mind a means of using quotes or line breaks. Quote Link to comment

For pictures I suggest you upload the picture to the cache details page then you can use the following, for example: For line breaks use ------------------ Peter Scholtz www.biometrics.co.za Quote Link to comment
Guest Ron Streeter Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 I think Eoghan was talking about not being able to use html within the FIND log entries, not the cache description. To my knowledge you can NOT use html in the space where you log your find. Some users DO use html in their cache descriptions. For those who do not, the cache approval team sometimes will make a bulleted list or at least put in paragraph breaks to make the cache description a little easier to read. ron Quote Link to comment
Guest jeremy Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 No html is allowed in log entries. I am considering using UBB Code in the logs like here in the forums. I still need to work out the ASP to do this. If anyone has VBScript that does this already I'd love to get a copy. It's basically doing a lot of string manipulation but could take me a while to implement. There are now HTML tags allowed in the titles and the contact names anymore. This was due to the fact that descriptions are downloaded to the GPS units and cause errors. I have noticed some log entries on older caches are getting a bit long (and therefore load slower on slow modems). I may break them out to only show the last 5 and list them on a separate page as well. Jeremy Quote Link to comment
Guest Peter Scholtz Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 Quite right! Funny how ones brain fills in words it expects/wants to see. It's been easy to experiment with html with the cache details page since you can edit it. We can't edit the logs though. ------------------ Peter Scholtz www.biometrics.co.za Quote Link to comment
Guest jeremy Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 n't edit the logs though. It's called Lazy Coder Syndrome (LCS). I seem to have come down with this lately. I'll try to let folks edit their logs soon. Jeremy Quote Link to comment
