Set Plugin Loader Priority / Plugin Load Chain

mayanic · October 11, 2010 at 6:16 AM

Hi, I want to ask if there is a possibility to get or set the Plugin loading priority.
I have heavy plugins installed, and at first the screen in krpano turns black for a few seconds.
I want to show a custom preloader first, then the preview images, at last all the other plugins and full images.
The user would certainly get a "faster" experience.

Any help appreciated :)
Thanks!

you could use an event to dynamicly set plugins.

Code

<events onloadcomplete="setupPlugins()" />


<action name="setupPlugins" >
set(plugin[yourplugin_1].url, urltoplugin);
set(plugin[yourplugin_2].url, urltoplugin);
etc
</action>


<plugin name="custompreloader" url="custompreloader.swf" preload="true" />


<plugin name="yourplugin_1" url="" x="10" y="10" etc />
<plugin name="yourplugin_2" url="" x="10" y="10" etc />

Something like this. the URL of a plugin gets loaded once the panorama is done loading. And I think it follows the sequence, the top one gets executed first.

Another way would be creating a sequence of onloads

Code

<plugin name="plugin1" .... onload="set(plugin[plugin2].url, someurl.jpg)" />
<plugin name="plugin2" .... onload="set(plugin[plugin3.url, someurl2.jpg" />

if you want a few of them to pop before anything happens you can use the preload="true" attribute on any plugin or hotspot.
