Picture upload

Is it possible to upload an encrypted spoiler pic to a specific cache?

 

Thanks for all the replies. It seems I may have caused a bit of confusion but what I meant was, as a CO was it possible to upload a pic to my cache galley which clearly defines the precise position of the cache but is not on view as a plain picture but is in some encrypted format (Rather like the written clue) which may be opened by finders as a last resort in finding the cache. Anyway, it seems that the answer is no it isn't possible.

Nope.

May I ask, what is an "encrypted spoiler pic" ?

By "encrypted spoiler picture", do you mean photos that have the full EXIF file embedded in it with GPS coordinates? Like iPhone camera photos.

The embedded coords would only be a problem with some non-traditional caches.

 

However, a spoiler photo, even if only accessible after some decryption process, might not be okay with the CO.

 

There are enough photos of kids standing at GZ with the container as it is.

I have a similar question about uploading photos.

I would like to include about 10 pics of various buildings that are part of a puzzle cache but don't want them in the log section of the page.

I can't seem to find an option to place them under the cache description.

Does anybody have any thoughts on how this is achieved.

Thanks

Upload the picture. When you view it (or hover with your mouse over its hyper-link) in the picture gallery (not the log section!), you can see and copy the link address. Use the IMG tag to include the picture in your listing. HTML must be enabled.

If you really don't want them in your picture gallery, you should use an external server.

Thanks for the replies.

I guess I should have clarified that I only need the pic links in the cache description area and not the the full ten pics.

I,m still not clear on the upload process as when I have clicked on upload image in the edit listing area the pics always go to the logs area.

There is indeed a way to do this, however the result isn't as good as you are expecting.

 

The process that I will describe will allow you to upload a picture to the cache "info". This means that if you access the galery of the geocache (either on website or on a Geocaching App) or if you click on the image link (there's a picture list when you scroll down, just below online maps and above the virtual logbook) you will still be able to view the picture, however, by default, you won't be able to see it on the geocache's listing.

 

To accomplish what I've described above, you're gonna have to open the Listing for the Geocache that you own and then, on the right bar, the Admin Tools bar, you're gonna have to select "Upload a Picture". You'll be then redirected to a new webpage where you can upload the picture.

 

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but it may help.
