Hi!
I've been using Krpano's integrated deeplink feature for some time but recently I began having limitations. For example in LinkedIN query seems to be removed by their messaging application, so yeah, instead of showing the specific panorama I intend person to see it takes them to root. Already had some misunderstandings because of this. With Whatsapp what happens is that if user clicks on link then it works, but if user clicks on thumbnail then it leads to root.
Another problem with deeplinking with query parameters is that meta for the site is the universal one (at index.html), so thumbnail/data doesn't match the shared link scene which also creates communication issues and loose so much "punch".
I know some of you have solved this issue elegantly so I'd appreciate some insights about how to create single URL's for each panorama that also allow to use specific meta.
Been doing some research about this and found this very nice article about "SINGLE PAGE APPS", which as I understand is krpano virtual tours case. This girl basically advices developers to implement USER AGENTS that will identify social platform crawlers and render for them a meta-only html, while identifying users as well and showing them the content.

I'm not that skilled coder out of Krpano (though I'm always open to learn) so I don't know how to for example generate URL's in the form of a folder structure (PHP maybe?) and conect all that with meta crawlers. So any advice/hints here would be greatly appreciated, same if there's another way of coding this whole feature.
Klaus, if you're reading, I don't know if an "universal solution" can be created here, but if possible I think this would be an amazing feature to have in future updates. I know there are much more tour developers out there who have the same need as current deeplinking solution has those limitations I mention.
Thank you!
