Is it possible to load stereo panos with a variable?

Birdseye

I'm making a Vtour about a construction site where I create a new aerial 360 every x days, in order to track the evolution of the works.

I would like to add the possibility that visitors can compare 2 random dates side by side, by showing a stereo image in split screen mode.
I'm trying this by combining the two choosen (dates) scene names in a variable.
ex.

Code

	<vtourskin_settings
		_initLeft="231005"
	    _initRight="231019"
    />

	<action name="skin_startup2" autorun="onstart">
		txtadd(_stereoScene, get(vtourskin_settings._initLeft), '|', get(vtourskin_settings._initRight));
	</action>

And then call it as follows when the stereo scene is loading.

Code

<image stereo="true" stereolabels="_stereoScene">

But that doesn't work. Or is there another method ?

The stereo image is not the right way.

Have a look at this example:

krpano.com - Examples

Nice Birdseye! :love:

I agree with KME for the methode.

Use get: to access the variable:

Code

<image stereo="true" stereolabels="get:_stereoScene">

Great! Now it works. Thank you Klaus & Tuur

Hi Folks

Taking Birdseyes suggestion I have been trying to include the "Compare Panorama" example as one scene within an xml file with other (single image) startscenes. The only thing I could think was to "nest" scenes like this (see code) but it doesn't seem to work (it creates the left/right framework OK but the left panel is empty and it seems to load the next scene into the right panel).

</image>

</scene>

<image>

</image>

</scene>

(note "4d.xml" = compare-panos.xml less the " " section)

I am sure my approach is totally wrong but any pointers would be very much appreciated.

(I guess possible conflict between general xml loadscene action and IMAGEONLY pano setting?)

Thanks

Hi,

just nesting scenes will not work.

E.g. if you want to include a compare-panos like example inside a vtourksin.xml based tour, this is possible of course, but it would need a dedicated implementation.

Thanks Klaus

I guessed that was the case , I'll try a different approach .

it's useful to know I'm not missing something obvious.

Thanks again

Hi,

when using the vtourksin.xml you could try that :

add skipthumb="true" to the both <scene> elements that should be compared
create a new <scene> element with the 'krpano*container' elements and the compare actions from the compare-panos.xml example
adjust the onloaded/loadxml calls to load the 'skipped' scenes
as last step adjust or remove the buttons from compare-panos.xml depending on your needs

Best regards,
Klaus
