Hi Zephyr !

It's not ready yet but maybe in time this solution would work in your case ^^

Hi guys !

Thank you for answering ^^
I'm a little be late on response but got lot of work !
In fact I resolved the problem, everything is working now even with javascript call on local webpages.
The problem was that I activated by error the accelerate viewing of web pages in the default android web browser, and that disables the viewing of flash animations :'(
WTF ?!
All that debugging stuff for nothing ! ^^
But thanks in all case !

Best regards.

Hi all !

As the subject says I just bought a android tablet (Archos 101 G9 Turbo 250Go ) and i 'd like to use it for my client demo but testing many ways to manage this I can't
get it to work :'(

- I first tried to use tethering between my archos and phone to use my 3G connection, but my iPhone is too old...
- Next I tried to launch a standalone swf (made with krprotect tool), but the reader doesn't handle it.
- I then tried to use a android webserver but it doesn't handle javascript, so the tour doesn't work.

Does someone here has an issue for loading krpano tours locally without web connection ?
I out of ideas actually ^^

Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi pdp

You can use cylindrical panos with krpano without doing anything more than drop all your panos into any krpano droplet.
When it launches it asks :
1 - This is a partial pano ? type "y" then enter
2 - what type of partial... ? type "2"
3 - horizontal field of view ? type "360"

It will make the different tiles, adding a black spot on top and bottom of your tiles and set a limit fov looking up or down, and stills work on iPhone

You can also drop your cylindric pano into the "spere to cube" droplet, it will make the 6 squared tiles

Hope it'll help !
Regards.

Glad you appreciate it ^^
I changed the website theme cause of an smart concurrent (I'm ironic here) who has used the same one
I will improve the gallery page when I get a little bit time using the same jquery effect to render a gallery wall
The default of the previous template was that all the pages were loaded at once with Ajax, that wasn't that great for SEO cause I only had one page for the all site ^^
For the issue about the social dock I've noticed it too but there's not much I can do here so...

Therfore about the iPad interface, it's working perfectly, the only thing I'd reproach is that on iPhone the help button is hard to click, but that's not so bad ^^
The interest of that interface is that it's very qick to make a new tour, and I think that using only one template for the demo tours on the site is better than have
many different templates, so that visitors get used to it.
I have a demo folder on the other side with the different works I've made to show my clients the things we can do with krpano
Hoping to read you soon ^^
Regards.

Hi all ^^
After many tries I've opted for your solution Zephyr
I made a HTML template around my tours so that the sharing dock appears in top of it ^^
You can see it here click on any picture you want ^^
Furthur I'd be happy if you could give me your oppinions about the global website, I'm working on the traduction so actually is only French ^^
Thanks in advance and have a nice day.
Regards.

Okay hi again again !!
I found a starting of solution using addthis using the Addthis Sharing Endpoints.
This may work on a openurl button in krpano xml ^^ (not tested yet !)
Furthur I think the best way for me is to be able to add the addthis api on top of my lightbox...
More complicated but I'll try !!!
Here is the lightbox I use if you want to have an idea : HERE
And the sharing addthis models : HERE.
I'll get back when done, and be thankfull for a little help ^^
Have a nice weekend !!
Cheers.

Hi Zephyr !!
Thank you for your help !
I've try your example code but no surprise it didn't work, it would have been such perfect if it did ^^
In fact I think I'm just gonna make some xml custom buttons for sharing cause in all case i'll have to set the wmode to transparent using addthis,
cause of it's pop up :
When hovering the addthis logo it opens a kind of pop up, wich passes behind the tour if not settle to wmode transparent :'(
And even using as you say an area of the HTML to make them visible without the wmode transparent activated, the addthis popup problem persists.
I'm so disappointed !
I'll have to get throughtout each social network ducumentation to make a simple share button dock...
Crap !!
Otherwise I was thinking about another solution : I'm using a lightbox to show my tours, and maybe it's possible to put the sharing buttons on the lightbox top,
like in the following screenshot attachement.
I'm searching furthur and I'll let you lnow if i find an issue ^^
Thanks again !
Regards.

Hi again;-)
Here is the addthis page link to Javascript usages:
http://www.addthis.com/help/client-api#rendering-js
I think the answer is not far from there^^
I continue working on it!!

Hi sacha;-)
Thank you for your reply!
Sorry if I wasn't clear in my explanations ^^
In fact I do not want to use the wmode transparent cause of the performance.
The openurl isn't possible as you can see the href in the html page is managed by the addthis script.
I went further in my investigations on the addthis Javascript method to link it with krpano plugins.
I havn't found a solution yet
What I would like to do is create plugin buttons in my krpano tour, and get it linked with the href in the html...
I'm on my phone right now I'll post tomorow the things I've seen about the addthis script^^
Thanks again and have a good night...
Depends on where you live;-)
Regards.

Hi all !!
I was trying to add a Addthis social sharing dock on my tours, and the solutions I've found wasn't satisfactory at all.
I got it to work with the use of viewer.addParam set to transparent to get a <div> over my pano, but it's kind of slowing the tour
so I'd like to use the possibilities of linking the html code with XML.

Here's the deal :

<!-- my HTML page -->
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">


    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="fr-fr" lang="fr-fr">
        <script type="text/javascript" src="tour.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-4ede519f0d89f3ad"></script>


<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
	<title>Eboovisite Démo Tour</title>
	<style>
		body { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #000000; background-color: #000000; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: center;			} 
		* html, * html body { overflow: hidden; }
		html, body, #pano { width:100%; height:99.9%; z-index:1;}
		a { color: #AAAAAA; text-decoration: underline; }           
		a:hover { color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: underline; } 
		#align_centre { width: 20%; float: left; margin: 20% 40% 0 40%; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 2px solid #FF0000; }
	</style>
</head>


<body>
	
        <!-- AddThis Buttons START-->
        <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">
            <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone"></a>
            <a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a>
            <a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a>
            <a class="addthis_button_email"></a>
            <a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
            <a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
            </div>
		<!-- AddThis Buttons END -->


      <!-- The tour itself-->
<script>
  var viewer = createPanoViewer({swf:"tour.swf",target:"pano"});
  viewer.addVariable("xml", "<?php echo $mypath; ?>");
  viewer.embed();
</script> 


<div id="pano">
		<noscript> 
			<div id="align_centre"> <br/> 
				<b>Attention:</b> <br/> 
				<br/> 
				Javascript is not activated. <br/> 
				<br/> 
				Please activate it to see the virtual tour <br/> 
				<br/> 
			</div> <!-- end of align_centre --> 
		</noscript> 
	</div>
       <!-- end of krpanoDIV --> 


</html>

What I'd like to do is link my AddThis Buttons in the html with image plugins in krpano like:

<plugin name="facebook_button" url="img/facebook.png" crop="0|0|32[32" ondowncrop="0|32|32|32" onclick="Here I want to link with the concerned href in the html" />

Can someone give a tip cause I went trough the documentation and forum but very few information about all this !
That thing could be great cause no flash needed neither than overlay a div on the tour. Means it'll work perfectly on all devices
Thanks in advance I'll continue searching for a solution and let you know if I get one ^^
Regards.

okay sorry I found the answer... wich is NO
Objects made in Krpano are like flat pano, where snow works only for 360x180 panos.
Regards.

Hi all !
The question is in the title, is it possible to use the snow plugin for a VR krpano object ?
I've tried to look in the forum but very few documentation about the VR Objects in Krpano
Thanks in advance for your replies
Regards.

Hi again again again ^^
Just one more thing
I get the error (ERROR: no parent "hotspot[get(name)]" found) with the get action for the line :

set(plugin[hotspot_hover].parent, hotspot[get(name)]);

I tried to change by doing:

set(plugin[hotspot_hover].parent, get(name) );

But this gives me the error :
ERROR: no parent "hotspot1" found
ERROR: no parent "hotspot2" found
...
But in fact it's the right parent name

Maybe a syntax error ?
It works perfectly for the copy(plugin[hotspot_hover].onclick, hotspot[get(name)].onclick); though ^^

Thanks again again again !!
Regards.

Hi Andrey !
I've tested to edit the code part you told me, but the thumbs still opens at scene load
You can see the result on my website : Click here
Thanks again ^^

Hi again ^^
I've been looking for the _button_switched(_thumbs_open,false); part code in the different xml,
but it's already settled like this but the thumbs stills appear at tour start.
Can you tell where in the code I have to change it please ?

For the openfulscrren button, it actually works to exitfullscreen but not the other way.
I'm using a lightbox to launch the tour, maybe it comes from that but I'm not sure cause the right click openfullscreen on the tour works.

Thanks again for helping and what a great job you did here ^^

Regards.

Hi Andrey !!
Just bought it and as usual it's just perfect ^^
I just have two questions about it :
- How can I disable the seeing of thumbs at start ?
- The openfullscreen button doesn't work for me :'(
Thanks a lot for your job !!!
Best regards.

Hi chrispen ^^
Never tried it but i see two things that may help you:
- Have you try using zorder on map and plugin, with map zorder<plugin zorder ?
- Try to find on the forum something about the wmode of your vtour calling script in the HTML, and settle it to "opaque".

If I take two minutes to think about it, I'm pretty sure that you can use this following solution, it may work:

- Create a background for your map and set it to be the map parent.
- Call your map where you want on the background
- Create your plugin and place it with parent settled to bakground...

Like :

<!-- the background for the map -->


<plugin name="background" keep="true" x="0%" y="-0%" url="img/background.png" width="30%" height="prop" align="center"  zorder="0" visible="true" />


<!-- the map itself -->


<plugin name="maps" 
            url="plugins/googlemaps.swf" 
            keep="true"
	    zorder="50"
	    parent="background"
            keep="true"
            align="center"
            x="-1.7%"
            y="-2.2%"
            width="93%"
            height="91%"
  >


<!-- Then the image plugin you want to show over the map -->


<plugin name="mybutton" keep="true" x="50%" y="50%" zorder="100" parent="background" visible="true" url="img/mybutton.png" align="center"  />

Doing this your image plugin will align on the background plugin, but will be over the map ^^
Hope it could help !!

Feed backi please if it works

Regards.

Thanks a lot for that !!!
Ok now I understand, I was thinking that in other post when I was seeing something like hotspot[get(name)]),
I thought that "name" was for the example !!
That's gonna help me so much !!!!
I'm really going to work on that cause very flexible when well controlled, as Mindlessboss templates for examples.
I would like in the future make a virtual tour template all in javascript, in case of making a complete website using Krpano , without using flash at all.
This might be the start of a new era with 3D websites, neither than old 2D ones ^^
Thanks a lot again !
Best regards.

I made it work with if but I'm not happy cause very much code
Here it is :

<action name="sethotspotlinks">
	set(hotspot[hotspot1].onclick,'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
	set(hotspot[hotspot2].onclick,'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
	set(hotspot[hotspot3].onclick,'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
	set(hotspot[hotspot4].onclick,'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
	set(hotspot[hotspot5].onclick,'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
	set(hotspot[hotspot6].onclick,'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
	set(hotspot[hotspot7].onclick,'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
	set(hotspot[hotspot8].onclick,'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
	set(hotspot[hotspot9].onclick,'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
	if(hotspot[hotspot_hover].parent, hotspot1,
     	set(plugin[hotspot_hover].onclick, 'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
 	);
	if(hotspot[hotspot_hover].parent, hotspot2,
     	set(plugin[hotspot_hover].onclick, 'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
 	);
	if(hotspot[hotspot_hover].parent, hotspot3,
     	set(plugin[hotspot_hover].onclick, 'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
 	);
	if(hotspot[hotspot_hover].parent, hotspot4,
     	set(plugin[hotspot_hover].onclick, 'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
 	);
	if(hotspot[hotspot_hover].parent, hotspot5,
     	set(plugin[hotspot_hover].onclick, 'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
 	);
	if(hotspot[hotspot_hover].parent, hotspot6,
     	set(plugin[hotspot_hover].onclick, 'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
 	);
	if(hotspot[hotspot_hover].parent, hotspot7,
     	set(plugin[hotspot_hover].onclick, 'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
 	);
	if(hotspot[hotspot_hover].parent, hotspot8,
     	set(plugin[hotspot_hover].onclick, 'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
 	);
	if(hotspot[hotspot_hover].parent, hotspot9,
     	set(plugin[hotspot_hover].onclick, 'openurl(http://www.eboovisite.com, _self)');
 	);
	</action>

As my hotspots are unique, can't use a %1 to call it...
If someone has an idea to clean all taht would be great ^^

Thanks again.
Best regards.
