swaggies - beta testing

ideology · Post by **ideology** » 18 December 05 5:14 pm

after lots of hassle we finally have swaggies ready for beta testing

could you please take a look at swaggie SW0000 which is at
http://geocaching.com.au/swaggie/sw0000

try grabbing it, viewing it in your inventory (on your "my" page) and then dropping it into a cache

this swaggie has a password of "test" which you will need to enter to grab the cache

please give it a whirl and let us know if you spot any difficulties before we put it into production

** please just test the logging at this stage, ie please don't create new swaggies just at the moment **

thanks for your help and patience

Seems to work fine for me. i was able to grab it from i! and then drop it into my blue baxter photo cache, without any errors, pauses, or messages

cool, thanks

ps: it's great to develop something and get feedback within 6 minutes of announcing it!

I probably jumped the gun when I tried to drop a couple of swaggies into the last event cache that I went to. Things look ok, but slightly off-kilter...

Too fine because he put it in my cache - so I got rid of it and in the process found it worked fine for me too

we'd only updated the location of sw0000. we've just run the script on all the swaggies and sw0022 is now listed as in the correct location

Works well,

Easy enough even Ran_off could do it.

I notice that a one of the test logs for a swaggie on 'The Big M' shows up as a blank on the list of caches for WA. Shouldn't it show some sort of symbol like the notes and finds do.

That was easy.

Looking forward to seeing more then a test swaggie out and about. I think I might already know of someone that might like one registered in their name.
