How to add panoramas to an existing online project?

  • Hello! Is there a way to add or change panoramas to an existing and published project on the site?

    The project was created earlier and the original data is lost. There are folders (panos, plugin, skin) and files (tour. xml, etc.) on the site. I try to open it (copies) locally on my computer, but krpano shows an error. If I just need to update the panorama images, can I just replace the data (image tiles) in the panos folder?

  • You generate the additional panoramas using the krpanto tools. You than add the new image folders to the sever and add the newly generated scenes to the tour.xml.

    Acutally that's it.

    For opening the tour on the computer you need to use the krpanoserver tool or any other webserver on your computer as modern browser prohibit to run stuff like panoramas locally.

  • Thank you for your reply!

    I generated new maps and uploaded them to the server. There are 4 maps in my panorama on the site. I needed to update two of them. When I uploaded the generated new maps, I saw that they were not displayed correctly: a blurry image loaded and did not respond to the mouse (cannot be rotated or scaled). Old maps are displayed normally. Could there be some solution?

  • I also tried to open the tour file of the old project with the vtour editor, but I got this message: Not a vtourskin.xml based xml file! No editing functionality available..


    So.. If the panorama is modified, is it possible to edit it somehow?

  • Hi, first of all you should be able to open and edit your files. If the file exists (e.g. tour.xml) then you should be able to download and open it, which is not a problem if it is your own site, uploaded by you. What could happen is that the .xml files are encrypted and in that case you cannot edit them. Is this the case for you?

  • Yes, the site is mine. But that panorama project was made by another person, who is now impossible to contact. Tour xml contains links to panoramas of the area during the year. So, tour xml combines not one, but many panoramas. And the description of these panoramas separately is in other files, which also do not open in the program.

    I guess, this panoramic project is customized, so I can't edit it as standard. I'm just thinking maybe I can cut my own panoramic images into tiles and try to replace them in the necessary catalogs and then fix data of the hotspots in xml

    Hi, to open krpano in tools, delete the %$_timestamp% line in the vtourskin.xml connection. It doesn't work in tools
