Tip: Open 2 Panotour´s at the same time for copy setting´s from another tour to a new project.

Sandieboxie Classic ( I use this version) lets you open two Panotour projects at the same time, making it easy to copy settings from one tour to another.

Sometimes we need to copy specific elements from other projects—such as super button settings or other features we want to reuse in a new project. Doing this manually can be time-consuming.

While Panotour offers presets and templates, every project has its own requirements, and often you still need to start from scratch.

I found this free software Sandieboxie that allows you to open another Panotour instance, which makes copying settings between projects much faster and easier.

Software https://sandboxie-plus.com/downloads/ (i use classic version)

If you have another software to open two instances of panotour let community know.

Scale on mobile devices Krpano 1.23.3

Updating Panotour with Krpano 1.23.3 updates de "mobilescale" setting to 0.5

For new tour´s there is no issue you can manually setting the size of the button to this scale (For Superbutton user´s) . Btw in previews tours you need to setup as mobile settings again for this scale.

Just change to 1.0 for older tour´s.

You can play with the setting and check how tour is displayed in mobile devices (Example 0.7 , 0.86 etc)

Rustam74 check also in your index.html . I believe the issue is here:

Just found this mobile scale is 0.5 setting, change this setting´s

Rustam74 im developing here a tour and i see your issue, i changed to > initial-scale=1.05

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.05, viewport-fit=cover" />

Elements are a little more bigger, play with the value for your case, but the canvas looks over border.

I think best practice is keeping value 1.00 and update the size for mobile version and tablet version buttons

Rustam74 I haven´t saw this issue, but try this alteranative

In buttons if you use superbutton , you can check this. or in html

Or change generated html > initial-scale 1.0 this afects only mobile devices

Hi!
nunomadeira Thanks, it worked.

One more question: does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Panotour Pro with krpano versions higher than 1.23 started automatically downscaling for mobile devices.
I then have to edit the file <krpano vrtourdevicescale.desktop="1.0" vrtourdevicescale.tablet="1.0" vrtourdevicescale.mobile="1.5" /> in index_core_xml and change it to 1.5 for mobile devices.

What has changed in the new krpano version 1.23?
Why did Panotour Pro start downscaling for mobile devices like this?

Example link above in the previous post

here for with krpano 1.20.11 - 1.2.2 , for mobile devices works perfectly.

Maybe there is a solution?

How do I add a font to panotour pro?
https://panotourplugin.com/google-fonts/
I can't find the folder fonts
Or maybe there are other solutions?
and download not only the Google font, but also your own

You need to create fonts folder, and move your font to this folder, as the panotourplugin tutorial. This wil change tour font.

Panotour + Krpano 1.23.3 Custom text description w/ blurry effect and images on specific panos experience ( Update Desktop / Mobile Version)

I have been playing lattely with the intregration of krpano with panotour with include xml plugin. Panotour can be just a visual tour design and organization panos and you can create your custom code to avoid some old "plugins".

In this experience, the challenge was to create custom text description´s for each pano and 2 images layer´s in specific, using panotour structure without plugins, only with just include krpano xml file. I apply that fancy blurry effect on the boxes used in a lot of webdesign stuff today.

You can optimize, customize, remove bad code:) etc etc as you like. Hope with this you can dive a little into panotour + krpano possibilities.

Resume:

Panoid (Pano10)

1 Description with scroolbar | Button to hide/close Description

2 Image on topleft

3 Hotspot´s to also hide / close Description 1

Panoid (Pano11)

1 Bigger Description 520x450 without scroolbar | Button to hide/close Description

2 Specific image on bottomleft

3 Hotspot´s to also hide / close Description 2

Demo here   files next :)

Files

1 Download file in attachment description krpano.zip

2 Open the project and build (don´t open)

3 copy "images" folder to indextada/images

4 Preview you will see the project as in the link

Description.xml

you can edit the xml in the project folder (zip) descriptionkrpanosources/description.xml

The code have comments so will be easy for you to understand what is what. You can optimize this code for you own, add unlimited description´s with copy and paste the block, you need just to update de names of the elements and link to the specific pano.

Preview what you will find

This is a krpano button in panotour

Open / Hide Discription Description

check the project for more

Enjoy

Tested here with meta quest 3 your vr thumbnail´s is not working. When clicking appears only close on the floor.

I have created here a quick test with 1 group with 2 panos with vrthumbnails plugin and is working 1.23.3 Meta Quest 3 https://widestudio.pt/vrtest/

What i would sugest :

1 If is not working, save a new kpt project, remove the plugin and add plugin again, jus check panos and groups, or how your tour is organized, and check if is working without any special settings. If still not working try to update to 1.23.3 but could be not be the problem.

You can also test in Desktop how the things going @ Properties

2 Create your VR menu with hotpot´s without plugin´s or coding ( i will make in the future a tutorial with time)

In a quick direction in your case -

1 Menu Pano > Exposure exterior pano to dark

2 Duplicate Menu Pano > Create a hotspot guide like above auxiliar for the hotspot´s to be straight. Design your desired menu and add hotspot´s in the circles or you pano with guides. Test, it´s possíble to move more for the right or left in horizontal menus, because "word´s" have not the same size or you can make a thumbnail with the same size.

When the hotspot´s are well located, and you feel good with your menu, just replace the pano without guides.

The hotspot´s need to have a link to another pano or will not be visible.

3 If is not working and you want to keep vrthumnails menu, back to 1.20.12.

Im currently developing now a vr tour and i needed to create like this "menu´s" tutorial i shared. When finished i will share the link.

For VR experience, sometimes we need to make another tour or link.

1 tour in all devices is some cases not possible, except if is some hotspot´s for few panos

4 If still is not workin and don´t make sense for now to make your own menu, back to 1.20.2 .

Hope help. Let me know your feedback.

Panotour Deep Linking (url for a specific pano)

Free Plugin by Robotsticher

Robostither provides an essential navigation plugin for krpano/panotour called GArrows – Google Street View Navigation. It also offers, for free, the Glinks included in GArrows in a more user-friendly way, helping you easily obtain the specific URL of your tour.

Glinks Step´s

1 Download GLinks (2 files glinks.xml and glinks.js)

2 Add Include XML > glinks.xml file

3 Adding glinks.js in your template file:

     OPEN Documents\Kolor\PanotourPro 2\templates\html\htmlpanodiv.tmpl

4 after line 6 ....</div>

add

<script type="text/javascript">

copy paste de glink.js code

</script>

5 Build your project. Your index.html file will allways be updated with glinks script.

You can now clicking right click copy the position and panoid URL you want to share.

If you don´t want glinks you just remove the script from your template file or make "true" > "false" for the items you want to hide @ glinks.xml .

Enjoy

ADD a custom Krpano Maps Plugin 1.23.3 in Panotour.

(fixed austria json references from maps.xml file seen in console)

Code with comments for easy understand and custom the way you like. This map was based on krpano example´s. You can replace the deprecated panotour map

I will share google maps in a next thread. Klaus comment "I would recommend using 'krpanomaps' instead, that's more flexible and customizable and with fewer external dependencies."

DEMO HERE 

A1 Quick test

1 - Download panotour project zip file in attachment (Krpano Maps Pantour.zip)

2 - Open and Build (don´t preview)

3 - Copy "Plugins" Folder and files to build folder "indexdata/plugins"

      In this plugin folder :

Close Button png

Expand Button png

Pin 1 Button png

Pin 2 Button png

Plugin Krpanomaps.xml ( taken from krpano \1.23.3\viewer\plugins\Krpanomaps.xml )

Plugin Combobox.xml ( taken from krpano \1.23.3\viewer\plugins\combobox.xml)

4 - Preview ( you will see this image )

A2 Edit maps.xml

1 In PTP, the includexml plugin you load maps.xml. Here you can setup your maps and spot´s. You can build, will replace with your last edit.

Button Plugin > call custom code (to open the map) > toggle_mapbox();

2 I will not be extensive explaining all the code, but you will see what is what. You can experiment in your way, it´s the best way to learn. Even without any code knowledge, but reading the "puzzle" you can get there and make your custom map, add more spot´s, different tooltips etcc

3 Quick setup for your map ( you can get coordinates in google maps, just righ click in the place, will show the lat and lng coordinates

KRPANO Maps Setting´s Location

Tooltips style, you can add another

Pin Spot White / Blue

style=pinone ( whitebutton)

Onhover / Out Show White Tooltip Action

Onclick ( Go to you pano ID, in this case pano12)

Tooltip Style

Tooltip Style Show Hide, you can setup the position over the spot

Expand / CLose Button Position

Hope this can be usefull in your next project.

Enjoy

oh i see It´s in mobile , it´s supertext plugin, description , html outside krpano, click moves out. Maybe adding a background for the info

Quote from jeromebg

Nice tours Nuno, but you should set capture to false on the infos text layers, on mobile they take a large part of the screen and disable navigation;)

Hello Jerome! thank you Sorry i haven´t understand, where? In the map?

Project´s build with Panotour + Krpano 1.23.2 Showcase.

i will update this post with project´s builded with the latest version of krpano. Some are still in development and testing.

CARRIS MUSEUM | Lisbon Trams Museum (PT/EN VERSION)

Panotour with Krpano 1.23.3

This tour contains around 100 scenes, a lot of 360º Vídeos, Gigapixel and 360º Images in multi resolution (pt) and a lot of hotspot´s with historical content. Background sounds and Voice-over is also present. Was made a simple adaptation of the tour for mobile acessibility.

FOR TESTING ONLY Panotour Update jQuery 4.0.0 RC1 Release Candidate 1 + Jquery UI 1.14.1 / Tested Krpano 1.23.3

"jQuery 4 brings real security improvements, even though they’re not flashy. The main idea of the release is to eliminate old, risky APIs and behaviors that historically led to vulnerabilities."

In my initial test on a large tour with many plugins, the tour works very well with this RC1. The beta version does not.

After upgrading to the jQuery UI 1.14.1 library, I encountered an issue with the Website Box plugin (viewer): the modal box displayed only a white/blank screen inside iframes. However, after some investigation, I found the fix was simple—updating KolorBox.min.js by changing "hidden" to "visible" solved the problem.

1 Updating jQuery 4 RC + jQuery UI 1.14.1

1 Download in attachment or jQuery 4 RC 1 + jQuery UI 1.14.1 Website

2 Add new jQuery js files to C:\Program Files\Kolor\Panotour Pro 2.5\Resources\libs\all\

3 Backup htmlheadcommonlibs.tmpl

C:\Users\nunom\Documents\Kolor\PanotourPro 2\templates\html\htmlheadcommonlibs.tmpl

4 Replace new template file in attachment htmlheadcommonlibs_jquery4-zip with the updated version

Jquery 4 + UI 1.14.1 is activated in the template file, you can also edit to play between version´s, original version and 3.7.1 (adding the file). Just removing the comment tag <!-- --> you activate the library. When you build the tour, ptp just copy to build tour

2 jQuery UI 1.14.1 fix ( modal box white/blank )

1 Backup C:\Program Files\Kolor\Panotour Pro 2.5\Resources\tools\KolorBox\KolorBox.min.js

2 Edit KolorBox.min.js

Search for :

m.setAttribute("style","visibility: hidden;");

Change to

m.setAttribute("style","visibility: visible;");

That´s all, hope nothing broken. Don´t forget to backup the files, and share your experience ;)

RE: Announcement: Server Migration

Hi again,

the server migration is complete now!

The actual transfer was planed, prepared and done within a few minutes, but the domain-transfer and the DNS updates took way longer then excepted and are still propagating.

If you are expecting emails from krpano (mail-answers, orders/licenses, forum, ...), please also check your spam folder! Some mail authentication checks might fail until all DNS changes had propagated.

Everything should be working again now, but if you notice any issues on the…

Thank you

Remove HTML PTP Brand "Virtual tour generated by Panotour" and deprecated tag´s with modern practices.

1 Download file in attachment ptpbrandmodernhmtltemplate.zip

2 Got to Documents\Kolor\PanotourPro 2\templates\html

Backup this 2 original files htmlpanodiv.tmpl | metatags.tmpl

3 Replace this 2 files in attachment.

Note:

With this update you don´t need to edit html to remove ptp tags everytime you update a tour.

Was removed PTBrand and updated with modern tags

Don´t forget to update jquery 

I´m currently testing ptp tour´s with jQuery 4.0.0 Release Candidate 1 and looks highly compatible. I haven´t found any issues yet. Just replace the url of jquery in your index.html to check if your tour runs well.

Official cdn links use jquery-4.0.0-rc.1.js not .min version.

Thanks for pointing this, I missed this new version.

Now I can finally upgrade to 1.23, thank you for all your research and fixes :)

yes i started to update and do all my projects in 1.23 with ptp but keep 1.20.2 for some old tour. Now just FLoorplan Panotourplugin don´t work, but i need more time around that one.

Quote from lem0n66

In Krpano 1.20 there is a problem with VR mode on iPhones - it does not go into full screen and browser bar obscures the view in the goggles. Does it work in 1.23 ?

Hi, VR mode for smartphones make sense some years ago, like samsung googles and google cardboards ( I bought in that time but i don´t have none of them now). I own Meta Quest 3 and is compatible with vr tours developed with ptp + latest version of krpano. But i think some iphone safari issues were fixed with the latest version.

Supersearch Panotour Plugin owners Fix for Krpano 1.23.3

!Backup the original version of the plugin, is fully functional on krpano 1.20.2.

Demo HERE

1 Download template file attachment

   pluginupdate_search_html.zip

3 Update here : Documents\Kolor\PanotourPro 2\plugins\SuperSearch\search_html.tmpl (Backup original version)

4 Download ptp template to test in action or in a project you use the plugin (supersearch, not search)

I tryed to contact Chiocchetti Maurizio but i don´t had any news so i´m trying to help him and others like me to keep things forward with latest version of krpano.

In krpano 1.23.3 the original version is not compatible, search can´t load the data. So i was around the template file of the plugin and now is working, we can look for pano , spot´s and group. Or just panos, or just spot´s or groups, you decide. When searching for spot´s the camera moves to the center of the screen and highlight the spot. You can change template file css and as you wish. Some fields of the plugin in ptp don´t work, but you can change in template file. If you can do a better version please share.

Some custom template tip ( here you can change or remove type tag name from hotspot´s , pano , group.

Custom CSS Color´s font´s etc ( You can play here)

Scrool bar design as you wish

Search CSS

Here you can change move setting´s etc etc,

SOUND SPOT FIX 3D/STEREO > PTP + Krpano 1.23.3 / 1.20.2

With this fix:

1 when you create a point spot works as a stereo sound

2 When you add a sound spot in Hotspot editor is a 3D Sound.

You can update file ( playsoundcall.tmpl) in attachment located at

Documents\Kolor\PanotourPro 2\templates\krpano\actions

or edit manually look for playsoundcall.tmpl

1 Documents\Kolor\PanotourPro 2\templates\krpano\actions

2 Edit playsoundcall.tmpl > search > "true, {% if action.sound_pausebackgroundsound"

3 Change to false

That´s all.

Enjoy
