Hi,
I have a custom map plugin and I would like to access/call a js function, actually a function from Leaflet.js library, in the plugin. I would like to call this function from the xml file, i.e. from a krpano action called by an event, "onstart" a new scene.
Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Many thanks for help,
Giuseppe

Hi,
I am asking the same question on reverse:
how to call a js function on a js plugin from a Krpano event (e.g. onnewscene)?
I did this on the plugin.js:

krpano.events[onnewscene] = function() {myFunction()};

function myFunction() {
//js code, i.e. a function from Leaflet
krpano.set(//setting an attribute on a krpano layer according to a value from the previous function ...)
}

but it does not work.

Alternatively I would like to do on krpano (xml file):

<scene name=myscene" onstart="my_Function()">

<action name="my_Function">

<!-- a js function: a leaflet function from the plugin.js -->
set('layer[mylayer].attribute, <!-- a value from the previous js function --> )

</action>

but I do not know how to proceed.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for help.

Giuseppe

Thank you very much.
I wil give it a try after some time to figure it out what your code means: I am a complete beginner in any coding.
You say to use your code in a action of tipe="javascript": as far as I know jsget, jscall and js can be used in "normal" krpano actions.....

Thank you very much for explanation!
Not sure to understand correctly:
<action name="newsceneaction">jsget(returnedValue, 'someFunction()');trace('value: ', get(returnedValue));</action>

In my case someFunction() would be a function from the js plugin, i.e. the function map.latLngToContainerPoint() from leaflet.js: it converts latlng geographical coords to x,y coords in the map container.
Just to explain, I have a testing tour with 3 images .

In the xml file I have a plugin/layer linked with a file.js where I built the osm map; a layer for an active spot with an icon and a layer for the radar plugin.
When I change scene (onnewscene) I would like to place the active spot and radar layers on the map layer according to the x,y coords given by the map.latLngToContainerPoint().
I would like to do that with an action on the xml file.
So I need "to pass" the returned value of map.latLngToContainerPoint() (which is a function on the js plugin) to an action on the xml file which is called 'onnewscene'.

Klaus,
thank you very much: I will try to implement.
Previously I tried:

krpano.events.onnewscene = function(){ ..

here map.latLngToContainerPoint() a function from Leaflet which converts geographical coods to x.y coords
and code to set x, y coords for an activespot/layer in in the xml
.... }

The above is in the plugin.js file and It works, but perhaps it is not a clean code, so I will change according to your coding.
I would prefer to do the following in xml code :

<scene name="my_ scene" onstart="update_spot_onthemap();">

<action name="update_spot_onthemap">

.............//here I would put in some way map.latLngToContainerPoint() which gives x,y coords of a point on the map

set(layer[activespot].x, 'coord.x');
set(layer[activespot].y, 'coord.y');

</action>

In general (for other use): after plugin.my_function = function(){ } in the plugin.js I can call/use my_function in the xml. Is that correct?


Thank you and best regards,

Giuseppe
