Problems with simulator…

Marco Lanciani · November 29, 2011 at 1:02 AM

… and I was wondering if it's the same on the actual device.

Following the problems with the ipad/iphone simulator:

1- Can't open the map ("i" button)
2 - Hide/Show Interface doesn't work(bottomleft button).
3 - Showtext doesn't work. Is this a limitation of the current version of krpano with ipad/iphone devices?
If so, it makes no sense changing language if I can't see it. Are there alternatives or virtual tours don't have any sort of text on mobile devices?

Hi!
Dublicate post, don't do that.

Check log - you have errors, check and correct.
WARRNING - unknow action: open map

So, it can't work. Maybe it's space in action name, or action doesn't exist.
Check your XML errors, befor say "it not working"

Sorry for the duplicate but there were new questions and they went too far in the thread: I thought they've never been answered.
I corrected and updated the global.xml but nothing changed...

By the way, looking at the restrictions for mobile devices it sems that not only SHOWTEXT but also PLUGIN.VISIBLE is not allowed...

So if everything is ok with the code now:

1- how can I open/close things, like images, maps...?
2- how can I Hide/Show things, like interfaces...?
3- how can I show texts?

I need alternatives, or there're simply no ways at the moment?

Hi!
wow... slow down...
visible and alpha is supported now.
any way, for hiding some elements you can use a trick
set(x,-2000); - hide some (put it in invisible pano area)
set(x,100); - put it in visible area where x=100

I'm using this for texfiled, in other case autosize not working properly.

Regards
Andrey.

PS - you can show text by textfield.swf plugin. If you set url="textfield.swf" then HTML5 will use buildin plugin for show html text.
almost forgot plugin.visible and plugin[name].visible is not the same.
set(plugin.visible,false); - hide all plugin with visible=true
set(plugin.visible,true); - bring them back.

May be not supported plugin.visible that mean?

Hi Andrey,

thanks for the trick about changing position using the x/y attributes. It looks great but still doesn't work on the simulator and put back the last working code.

I still can't:

1- open/close the map
2- hide/show the interface

And the log doesn't give any error: only a WARNING about the radar.swf but I'm quite sure this is not the problem for both #1 and #2.
I need someone to tell me if it works on the actual mobile device. (might be a problem only with the simulator)

You can check the code online if you like:

http://www.marcolanciani.com/test-villaflora/

By the way, here's the code involved:

Code

<plugin name="controlbar" url="skin/controlbar.png" keep="true" zorder="1" align="bottom" x="" y="15" crop="0|30|30|30" width="100%" height="" />


	<plugin name="map" parent="controlbar" keep="true" zorder="3" align="bottom" x="+240"  y="5" style="options"  crop="80|0|10|20" onovercrop="80|20|10|20" ondowncrop="80|40|10|20" onhover="showtext(get(openmap));" onclick="action(openmap);" />


	<plugin name="mapvillaflora" keep="true" zorder="1" align="center" edge="center" x="0" y="0" url="skin/map.png" onclick="action(closemap);" visible="false" />


	<plugin name="radar" url="skin/radar.swf" heading="50" parent="mapvillaflora" zorder="2" origin="lefttop" edge="center" keep="true" x="241" y="246" linecolor="0" fillcolor="0xff0000" scale="0.2" />    


	<action name="openmap">


        set(plugin[mapvillaflora].visible,true);


        set(plugin[map].onhover,showtext(get(closemap)););
        set(plugin[map].onclick,action(closemap););
        set(plugin[mapvillaflora].onclick,action(closemap););


	</action>
	<action name="closemap">


        set(plugin[mapvillaflora].visible,false);


        set(plugin[map].onhover,showtext(get(openmap)););
        set(plugin[map].onclick,action(openmap););


	</action>




	<plugin name="switch" keep="true" zorder="3" align="bottomleft" x="20"  y="20" style="options" crop="0|0|20|20" onovercrop="0|20|20|20" ondowncrop="0|40|20|20" onhover="showtext(get(switchoff));" onclick="action(switchoff);" />


	<action name="switchon">


        set(plugin[controlbar].visible,true);


        set(plugin[switch].onhover,showtext(get(switchoff)););
        set(plugin[switch].onclick,action(switchoff););


	</action>
	<action name="switchoff">


        action(closemap);
        
        set(plugin[controlbar].visible,false);


        set(plugin[switch].onhover,showtext(get(switchon)););
        set(plugin[switch].onclick,action(switchon););


	</action>

Does anyone see any unsupported code?

What button or icon opens the map? The control bar is hard to use with iPhone too.

Marco Lanciani · November 29, 2011 at 8:51 PM

The "i" button open/close the map, the first button on the left to hide/show interface...

Thanks to try.

Your problem sits with your using the same names for actions and also variables.

like below
set(openmap,'Open Map');
set(closemap,'Close Map');

You have an action also named openmap that is getting replaced with Open Map which I assume is replaced by open map in Krpano.

If you reset this to something different

from this
set(openmap,'Open Map');
to
set(openmap1,'Open Map');
it works.
Keep in mind, the path that you set for this variable needs to be changed too. Like so.

onhover="showtext(get(openmap1));"

Fix all these double names and I believe it should work. It did with my test files. I only tested the open map though.

Yeah its less confusing to never use the action syntax
action(action_name) which is legacy "OLD!!!"
.. should be action_name();
this make is much more like a normal programming language like js, or php. So when you get one down, you can start mixing them all up for some real fun.

sachagriffin · November 30, 2011 at 4:19 AM

Just out of curiosity.. how do you call arguments with that syntax?

Marco Lanciani · December 1, 2011 at 3:39 AM

Jarred, Sacha, you were right... it was just the same name for actions and showtext (which is also useless for mobile phones, so far).

Andrey, what did you mean by "check the log"? Just press the "o" key? If so, I didn't get any error doing so and I don't know why you do.
I continued asking just because I couldn't see an error that wasn't there and I would have never thought using the same name could have been a problem, in fact it works on desktops.

Sacha, thanks for the tip on actions... and about arguments, with that OLD syntax, I guess I was't using them.

Almost done with this Virtual Tour.

Sudarchikov Andrey · December 1, 2011 at 3:44 AM

Hi!
After start of tour and open log you didn't see any errors, you right.
But after click on "i" button you get error in log. WARRNING - unknow action: open map

Now it's working and has no error
