Geocaching Australia

During the Dash for Cache comp in 2005 I was struggling to find the first waypoint of a particular cache. Maccamob turned up and we both struggled (I think everyone struggled). I was in the same area for about an hour before giving the cache owner a call to see if he could offer a hint. The cache ow...

Excellent effort and so quick. We are really close. This needs to be inside the <icon></icon> tag pair to show up an image where the actual location was. <href>root://icons/palette-4.png</href> Also, for some reason, the names on Team_Diesel and Rabbit are reversed as are Quasar and acts2youthgroup....

Hi there i!. Below is an example of a PHP script that can be used to generate a .kml file for moving caches. The data is a close approximation of one of my moving caches. I'm not sure how the GCA server is set up, so here's the bare bones and you can fill in the details. The code generates a file, b...

In the gca.css file: Find this style: li.tab:hover ul, li.sfhover ul { visibility:visible; } Add this style directly underneath. #tabs li:hover ul, tab li.sfhover ul { visibility: visible; left: auto; } This will make Netscape behave nicely. Tested in IE6, Netscape 7.1, Firefox 1.5 and Opera and I c...

Maps? We don't need no steekin' maps!

i! I have a new stylesheet that will allow a printer friendly version. #header {display: none} #gca_footer {display: none} #noprint {display: none} Yep, that's the entire stylesheet. Call it gcaprint.css in your css folder. What it will do is any ID called header, gca_footer or noprint it will supre...

Errrrr, no, but maybe I should from now on :-) How much bigger do you want the font? Also, which sections should be larger? It's not a hard change. Most of the font sizes are fixed in pixels. If we change it to a % of the container, then people can increase or decrease the size of the font by settin...

I realise this is an old thread, but the horizontal scroll bar has been annoying me and defeating me with every fix I can come up with. I think I've finally cracked the problem. As of IE5.x Microsoft hosed the use of CSS padding (or margin) attributes in that they became cumulative. ie. A table of 1...

Firefox 1.5 does not seem to suffer from this problem.
Is an upgrade to Firefox reasonable in the meantime?

I've been playing (slowly) the GPS game "coinquest" http://www.thecachingplace.com/cachunuts/coinquest/ and it's been fun. Anybody got any ideas for something we could do here? Possibly as a way of promoting the GCA site? Do you mean GCA caches as part of a quest or any cache around the world would...

A small enhancement has been made to the GPX Mail Utility to cater for cachers who go out caching earlier in the week, but weren't getting their files until later in the week. http://www.caughtatwork.net/geocaching/gpxmail/ You can now select a day that you want your files delivered. It will apply t...

You can always list it on Geocaching Australia.
It doesn't have the same rules as geocaching.com and you would still be contributing to the overall caching arena in Australia.

Yeah, but what have the Romans ever done for us?

OK, that's clear. I've never seen one of those TB's before. I suppose they could still be used as traditional type TB's if need be. At this point in time, Virtual caches have been grandfathered in so it will only be by cache owner choice that they get archived. They won't be automatically archived l...
