pass parameters to testing server

Hi)

Yes, that's possible. For example,

http://192.168.0.103:58393/?startscene=1

Нужно запустить testing server.exe и в строке браузера прописать нужные параметры (мой пример выше). Сразу запустить с параметрами - не уверен, что есть такая возможность.

english?

Hi) Sure,

I answered that it's possible to launch Krpano testing server and in browser address bar add parameters to the link.

i was just wondering what those hyroglyphs meant

Huh)))) Leo Tolstoy make a good deal writing with these hyroglyphs)))

The question was how to launch 'tour_testingserver' with parameters right from the start. I said I dunno how to do it without first launching the .exe and then adding parameters in the browser address panel.

I'm not a proger though, maybe some ideas from anybody else?

Hi dreamcutter,
I do use the initvars. settings for passing the variables. Look on my example with a "default" link
https://pavel.ursiny.sk/pano/at/MillstatterSee_2016/
and the special case when requesting the English language and ultra light design skin:
https://pavel.ursiny.sk/pano/at/Millst…ign_ultra_light

The use case of using it is in my internationalization "i18n" enhancements for multi language support of krpano:

I need to upload the upgraded version of the code running on krpano ver. 1.19.pr16, but you can read about the 'pholosophy' and code after downloading my latest upload.

Have a great day!

Klaus:
maybe it would be an idea
if the testserver executable had some (documented) arguments...

- the path to the folder / file to open
like -p some/subfolder/panotour
or -p some/subfolder/panotour/tour.html

- the url arguments to pass to the tour
maybe in url format like -a "?startscene=5&test=4"
or in a list -a "startscene=5,test=4"

or is that possible already somehow?

won't it be just easier to create a custom exe/dmg and there you can have control of every varibale ??

i dont think that is easier (for most people)
for me it would be cool if the testserver would accept some commandline arguments.

Hi *,
This is not passing command line, but maybe it helps: to start any scene use the deep linking option introduced by Klaus here:
https://krpano.com/forum/wbb/inde…ews119vtourskin

<skin_settings  deeplinking="true"

The syntax and params to pass are in the vtourskin.xml:

<action name="skin_deeplinking_update_url_process" scope="local">
		copy(adr, browser.location);
		indexoftxt(qi, get(adr), '?');
		if(qi GT 0, subtxt(adr, adr, 0, get(qi)));
		copy(si, scene[get(xml.scene)].index);
		copy(h, view.hlookat);
		copy(v, view.vlookat);
		copy(f, view.fov);
		copy(d, view.distortion);
		copy(a, view.architectural);
		clamp(d, 0.0, 1.0);
		clamp(a, 0.0, 1.0);
		set(pp, calc(f LT 10 ? 6 : 2));
		roundval(h, get(pp));
		roundval(v, get(pp));
		roundval(f, get(pp));
		roundval(d, 2);
		roundval(a, 1);
		set(adr, calc(adr + '?startscene=' + si + '&amp;startactions=lookat('+h+','+v+','+f+','+d+','+a+');'));
		js( history.replaceState(null, document.title, get(adr)); );
	</action>

That doesn't do here, because there's a need to start testing server directly with parameters (without starting the browser first). And in this example, the browser.location is used at the beginning - that means the link in the browser is already open.
