Image tags

[motexoutlaw]

Is it possible to insert image tags in our signature? Example is what I have inserted below as part of this post:

http://www.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?uid=0c8332e7-a84b-44f5-902b-0f3cdea0e81d&bg=1]My%20stats
If you are waiting on me, you are backing up!!


When I inserted the HTML for the above tag in my signature and checked attach signature in a post, only the HTML code itself is inserted, not the image tag. Below is what is attached as the signature:

[LongDogs]

I think the image tags in the sigs will have to be BBCode.

Something like this
http://ArkGeocaching.org/images/ArkGeoButtonGray3d.gif

[arkansas_stickerdude]

Longdogs that did not work how about mine.

[arkansas_stickerdude]

Well that did not work what about if I put it here [img/]http://www.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?txt=View+my+profile&uid=5759fd69-99fa-4ec4-b6b4-[img/]

[arkansas_stickerdude]

ARRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!!! well I guess we can keep trying [img]http://www.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?txt=View+my+profile&uid=5759fd69-99fa-4ec4-b6b4-[img]

[arkansas_stickerdude]

NUTS THIS IS GETTING AAAAARGGGGG!!!

[img/]http://www.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?txt=View+my+profile&uid=5759fd69-99fa-4ec4-b6b4-][img/]

[LongDogs]

In BBCode the first should not have a / in it, and the last one should have the / right after the opening brace, like this.

What is in between should be the URL.

Also be sure you don't have disable BBCode set.

[arkansas_stickerdude]

OK i've tried everything I can think of and no go I would like to be able to do this also.

[LongDogs]

This is a sig test.

Also be sure you check this box:
Attach signature (signatures can be changed in profile)

[LongDogs]

Ok, I did some checking, and images are permitted in signatures via BBCode, but not using html.

In fact, anywhere in the forums the only HTML codes allowed are things like bold, italic, and underline, and some other formatting codes. You must use BBCode for links or images.

Also, when you change your signature, it changes it everywhere, in all the forums and in every message to which you've ever attached it. (Regardless of what your sig was at the time you posted the original message, it becomes your new sig.)

This is because it doesn't actually save the content of your sig with the message, but just sets an on/off switch saying wether or not to show the sig on this message. Your sig actually only exists in one place in the system.

[motexoutlaw]

How do I rewrite the code listed in my signature below in BBCode so the image tag will show in the signature line?

As you can see, the tag appears if the code is in the message text. Using this same code for my signature in my profile only lists the code as the signature in messages where the attach signature box is checked.

http://www.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?uid=0c8332e7-a84b-44f5-902b-0f3cdea0e81d&bg=1]My%20stats
If you are waiting on me, you are backing up!!

[LongDogs]

This should work:

http://www.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?uid=0c8332e7-a84b-44f5-902b-0f3cdea0e81d&bg=1&My%20stats

You've got to watch out for extra [ and ] chars in the URL.

[motexoutlaw]

LongDogs:

When I copied and pasted your suggested code into my signature it still did not appear as an image tag in the signature of my message. If I copied and pasted it into message text it did come out as a image tag.
What am I doing wrong?

[southdeltan]

Guys - this was a very annoying and tricky problem for us on our website. You have to get your syntax exactly right or it won't work. It's so tricky that I had to relearn how to do it the last time I had to show somebody.

I'll post the syntax (I hope) later - I have a few things to do, been out of town caching and all...

southdeltan

[southdeltan]

Ok, to get your userid - use this:

http://www.ikrug.com/geostats/statgenerator.php

Then type this:

http://www.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?uid=841eb04d-dd41-4aed-9059-291a95ebf37b (Http://www.geocaching.com)


Use your user-id instead of mine, of course (It's the stuff after the = sign)

southdeltan

[GEO]

Motex outlaw how do you do it?

[southdeltan]

Just testing out my suggestion, to make sure it does work.

sd

[motexoutlaw]

Geo,
If you notice the signature in your previous post appears as a hot link. When I clicked on that it linked me to your stats button.

I don't know what has changed but my stats button is now displayed in my signature.

The code that is my signature profile is:


http://www.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?uid=0c8332e7-a84b-44f5-902b-0f3cdea0e81d&bg=1]My%20stats

Where the info within the image brackets came from, I don't know. What I did did was copy the code that I was using as my signature on the Texas Geocaching Web page forum. The first copy and pastes did not have the data within the img brackets and would not display my stats button in the signature. How that info got in my code later: I don't know. But it works!!

[GEO]

1 FOR THE GIPPER
I TRIED AND IT STILL WON'T LINK.
I WILL TRY LATER.

[RuffRidr]

Testing to see if I can get mine working.

[arkansas_stickerdude]

Lets see if this works for me.

[arkansas_stickerdude]

Ruffrider can you post the code you used I can not get mine to work I've tried everything. HELP!!!!

[LongDogs]

The starting code is
the ending code adds a slash, just like html

If you mess up any part of the code, it won't display as an image.

[RuffRidr]

I can see yours, so you must have got it working. But if anybody else wants to know, here is the exact code I used:

http://www.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?uid=e7cd2089-1011-4d86-873f-e6873ad13848&txt=Arkansas%20Geocacher&bg=2 (http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=e7cd2089-1011-4d86-873f-e6873ad13848)

You'll have to change the uid in two places, since I set it up so that if you click on it, it takes you to my profile page. Also, if you change the bg=2 to bg=1, it will show the Geocaching logo instead of the frog.

--RuffRidr

[southdeltan]

You have to be very exact. This is what I did and it worked for me (Yes, this is the same post but some people go straight to the last page of a thread):

Ok, to get your userid - use this:

http://www.ikrug.com/geostats/statgenerator.php

Then type this:

http://www.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?uid=841eb04d-dd41-4aed-9059-291a95ebf37b (Http://www.geocaching.com)

Use your user-id instead of mine, of course (It's the stuff after the = sign)

The first bit, [URL=Http://......] makes a link to geocaching.com. The second bit, [img]http://www.geocaching......] shows the image based on your user id. That's all there is to it.

Help! You're dealing with a bunch of dummies here!

[nonnipoppy]

I changed nothing about the code to get this to work. I stupidly tried to get the stats banner to work for my avatar..... :oops: no cigar :oops: ...but I did succeed in screwing up the avatar photo. :roll: Then I could not find it :?: .....Soooooo I up loaded it again. :arrow: ...guess what, the stats banner works now :lol: .......Beats me :D :D :D ....poppy

[cachecrazies]

One more try tonight - then I'm throwing a brick at the computer!

[nonnipoppy]

I finally got it by copy and pasting the exact code from southdeltans post on page two. Then I inserted the correct id number good luck...poppy

[idratherbehiking]

Jus trying to get mine in my signature.

[idratherbehiking]

I just can't seem to get mine to work. What am I doing wrong?

[idratherbehiking]

Well mine is working now and I did not even do anything to it. I was working on putting an avatar on and noticed that it was working now. When I checked the code I noticed that mine did the same thing as MOTEXOUTLAWS's and now has some extra numbers within the image brackets that I did not put there. At least it works now.

[southdeltan]

Cachecrazies, Cut and paste this:

http://www.geocaching.com/stats/img.aspx?uid=eb6dfea0-adb5-4321-a127-ec0357255d99&bg=1 (Http://www.geocaching.com)


It's not exactly the same as what you have, I think you have an extra character in there so it's breaking the link (you have a ' at the end I think).

I haven't figured out why sometimes you can put the correct code in and it doesn't work immediately, but sometimes you can put the right stuff in and later it'll work. YOu might try logging out then logging back in.



southdeltan

[cachecrazies]

OK - copied, pasted and let's try it!

[cachecrazies]

OK - I can't see any difference in the codes - so my guess is that this thing just doesn't like me! That's ok - I've decided that I don't want this STUPID stats thing on here anyway! :wink:

S0 - if ya wanna know our stats - just ask, it's easier! LOL

[nonnipoppy]

Juist to see what happens why don't you try making some insignifigant change in your avatar? That is wheen ours started working....poppy

[cachecrazies]

SEE - I told you that it didn't like me!

Ok - if the code is right, maybe I'm putting it in the wrong place. Where EXACTLY are you copying the code to? In the signature line or ????

[Geezer_Veazey]

Cachecrazies, copy the code below and paste it to your signature. Delete the spaces in [ img ] and [ /img ] (4 spaces total). If you want your name or a catchy phrase, type it in first and paste the code in below it. If you want to change the Are we having fun yet phrase in the stats box you can change that. Be sure to check the box that says to always add your signature. I'll check back and see if it worked. If it didn't I'll try to figure it out.

Happy coding.

[cachecrazies]

Thanks you guys for all the help! Really appreciate it. Trying AR_S's code this time.

[cachecrazies]

YEAH!!! Finally! Thanks everyone that helped us on this.

Finally followed the previous advise and deleted our avatar and re-entered it. For some reason there must have been a glitch in there and it worked after I did that.

Whew - it wasn't just that I was intensely stupid after all! :lol:

[Geezer_Veazey]

Glad you got it working. I was going to tell you to Sticker with the code in your previous post, Dude, and look for the problem elsewhere but you posted again and it was working. If you will think back and carefully analyze all your previous attempts, I'm sure you will arrive at the real reason for your problems: You were not holding your mouth right!

[Geezer_Veazey]

Top Kitty; Thanks for the compliment about my Avatar. I tried to pick out one that resembled me, seriously. In honor of your insightful remark I have changed the slogan in my signature.

Whenever you are ready for your stats to show up, let me know what you want the third line text to be and I'll fix it up for you.

Geezer

[cachecrazies]

Geezer -
If you will think back and carefully analyze all your previous attempts, I'm sure you will arrive at the real reason for your problems: You were not holding your mouth right!

Okay now I'm trying to change the tag line after seeing everyone elses. I go the stats to show but I'm testing geezers hint on changing the line let's go caching. Did it work? If it didn't, Geezer can you give a little more detailed on just that part?

[Geezer_Veazey]

immediately before the "&bg" insert an "&txt=" followed by the text you want to appear. (Do not insert the quote marks and do not insert any spaces except in the text). For example, to make it say "Are we having fun yet" it would look like this:

...&txt=Are we having fun yet&bg=1[/img]

Your are now a prrogrramir. Better learn how to spell it.

Geezer.

[LadyEngineer]

Okay, here goes with txt not text.


HEEHAW!!!

[cachecrazies]

SJClimber - I know that this solution makes absolutely no sense and that there is no logic to it but...

what has worked for several of us is to go back in and change your avatar in some way. There must be a glitch that ties them in together and once you change your avatar (even back to the one you now have) - the whole thing works.

I have no idea why it's worked - it just has. Hope this helps.

[SJClimber]

Thanx cachecrazies.

Did the code seem to be OK? I placed it in the "signature" box in the profile section. I guess that's where it goes?

I'll work on the avatar.

Thanx for your input. SJC

[arkansas_stickerdude]

SJC where did you get the HTML code for what you are trying to do?

[SJClimber]

Either on page one or two of this topic. I think southdeltan placed a sample code and suggested to use one's own id and it should work.

Maybe I'm using the incorrect code? Just playing with this to get my stat sheet on with a reply.

Again, thanx for you inteest and any help.

Reid H.

[GEO]

Get your info from the Geocaching stats page,put all your info in and submit.
after first submission renter and remove your avatar and submit.This will add the tag.
after that go back and change your avatar back to your curret one.

That is what we all have had to do.
I worked for days on mine.
Then did the above and wala.......

Ommmmmmm.........

[Geezer_Veazey]

Alright Geezer give up your secrets! :lol:

Val, look on page 4 of this thread and the 4th message down has code for cachecrazies. You can doctor and use it. Copy it and paste it to notepad. There are 4 spaces that must then be deleted - two near the beginning and two near the end. Delete cachecrazies UserId (everything between uid= and &txt) and paste in yours. Then copy the whole thing and paste it into your signature. Be sure that you have Yes checked for allowing html and bbcode. If you've done everything right it should work. Then tweak the text or the box style if you want to.

I'm out the door to build a deck for my daughter. It'll be late tonight when I get back but I'll check and see how you did.

Geezer

[Gaddiel]

Also, don't ask me why, but some people have had good luck changing their avatar image to something else, then changing it back. I've seen several posts that said this solved their problem...

[demonicangel]

Val,
Try what Gaddiel suggested. Just like him I have no idea what is going on with that, but it does work. I got my code the way Geezer_Veazey was talking about and I knew it should work... but it didn't. But after I changed my avy it started working.
