Hi, Is it possible to vary the start location of a tour such that different links from a web page to the same tour file result in a different start locations.

Previously, with ptviewer, I would do this using PHP to set the start location according to a querystring variable, but I don't know how to do this within XML

Any pointers gratefully received.

Hey thanks,

I was wanting to start the tour in a specified location rather than random. I guess that would go the same way? I'll investigate.

Just in case I'm barking up the wrong tree, I'll rephrase the question.
I have a number of scenes defined in the XML and the tour is initialised with the code

<krpano version="1.17" title="" onstart="startup();">

<action name="startup">
if(startscene === null, copy(startscene,scene[0].name));
loadscene(get(startscene), null, MERGE);
</action>

Then in the HTML:
<script>
embedpano({swf:"tour.swf", xml:"tour.xml", target:"pano", html5:"prefer", passQueryParameters:true});
</script>

Is there a way of passing the start scene number from the HTML, so that I can start the tour from different places with different incoming links?

Thanks again,
C

Got there, using the vars:{} function.

embedpano({swf:"tour.swf", xml:"tour.xml", target:"pano", html5:"prefer", passQueryParameters:true, vars:{startscene:"scene_name"}});

& scene_name can be set using PHP, or whatever.
