Call doesn't return. It's always given undefined for me.

It's weird that it works for you, since $('krpano').set would call the set function on the jquery object. To get the DOM Element you need to do $('krpano')[0] or just document.getElementByID('krpano')

I like jQuery together with underscore.js and Backbone.js. I made Facebook app with custom tagging plugin
with that :)

Mootoo;s has some nice class like methods, that jquery lacks. But other then that they're both the same, so I never bothered picking up mootools :)

Good Luck ;)

Lately I'm experimenting with Backbone.js together with a REST API and krpano. Backbone has models, views, collections and routes

for instance I can say:



or even simpeler:
var hotspot = new Hotspot({ath: 10, atv: 10});


And it autogenerates a hotspot within krpano, with a random name and default values and styles.

I dont want a hotspot? Easy


this ofcourse alsoo works with View, Display (which has checks to updateobject()) and Plugins.

Since it's all javascript, binding a jquery ui slider to for instance the x/y or ath/atv values of a hotspot is a piece of cake. I bind the slider change event to update the Hotspot model. The hotspot model listens to changes, and updates krpano automagicly.



Next to that. Collections allows me to filter real quick. Just show hotspots within a certain ath range? Or all hotspots that open a panorama, or just all hotspots with visible false. Just a few lines


This allows me to work MVC and OOP with krpano. I can create tiny plugins or define hotspots that open popups, locations, videos, galleries etc and create a whole reusuable library.

It's the basis of my CMS now.

Real fun stuff :) I get exited just talking about it

Yeah I know mootools have Classes too. But what I discovered with Backbone is the power of events. With the correct binding, I can say hotspot.set({ath: 0}); The hotspot model fires a change event. I can make my view listen to this change event, and let it for instance re-render the hotspot in krpano. Or update some form. So if you bind for instance a jquery slider to a model, and say while sliding do hotspot.set(ath: ui.value) you suddenly see your hotspot live reacting to this sliding. then just do hotspot.save() which is an internal function of backbone (I dont have to write code for that) and it auto posts to the url you provide. I was amazed how easy it all was.

You can alsoo extend stuff. So if you for instance have a good hotspot base. But instead of opening panoramas, make it open a Popup. You just create a new type. var PopupHotspot = Hotspot.extend({});

The only thing I miss in krpano, is dynamicly adding preview and image attributes. Then I wouldnt need xml at all :D
