This is great, thanks for the detailed info! I'm still using PTP on a daily basis and I've been afraid to update since I use many of the plugins you mentioned. I may have to do some testing myself. Thanks again!

klaus.krpano, any thoughts on this? Should I just update the passQueryParameters from "true" to "startscene,s,h,f" each time?

Hi,

yes, with the new versions you can ignore that setting, the new versions are safe in any case.

Best regards,

Hey klaus.krpano, quick question about 1.20.12... I just updated a tour and now the URL parameters for deep linking seem to be broken. Do I need to adjust the following code:

passQueryParameters="startscene,s,h,f"

Right now it's showing:

passQueryParameters:true

UPDATE:

I changed the code from "true" to "startscene, s, h, f" and the deeplink worked again.

Is this something I should be updating from now on?

I just wanted to check on something real quick. I updated krpano to the updated 1.20.12 (build 2025-03-06). When I generate a new tour, I still see the line "passQueryParameters:true". Does the updated version mean I can ignore that or do I still need to change it to "false"?

Klaus, thanks so much for the detailed update!

Here is an example of one of my tours from Panotour: https://suiteview.com/tour/redsox/

And here is the typical deeplink I use that sends them to a specific scene: https://suiteview.com/tour/redsox/?s=pano48543

I am still using Panotour to build my tours as everything has worked great (with some minor xml tweaks after build). I've been using 1.20.11 to accommodate some plugins that weren't guaranteed to work past that version.

That being said, many of my tours were hijacked by this attack. Looking at the index.html file, I see the fatal "passQueryParameters:true" line. If I simply change that to "false", I should be in the clear?

But that brings me to another issue. I use a LOT of deeplinking since my tours are pretty large. Is there any other way to link directly to a pano?

Thank you both for confirming this! I'll dive into this some more.

I have a large tour of a sports stadium with hundreds of images. I would like to create a separate database where I could list specific info for each image/group (name, description, price, external link, etc).

Would it be possible to dynamically display the info from the database for each pano? I'm imaging a simple database that could be updated and then display the live data inside the tour. Since there will be multiple edits throughout the year, I'm trying not to edit hundreds of images every time there's an adjustment.

I assume I'll need to hire someone to help implement this, but I first want to know if it's even possible.

I saw this and also used the wobble plugin in Panotour to implement the mouse follow. My question is whether it can start wobbling a little bit by default -- before any user interaction?

Here is an example from Threshold360 where their tour is embedded on the page and it slowly moves until the user clicks inside: https://www.threshold360.com/hospitality/

When I embed a tour into another website, sometimes it is not obvious that this is a virtual tour. Is there any way to show a little 360 icon image file and a slight camera wobble until the user clicks the tour?

I love the wobble plugin in Panotour that makes the screen follow the mouse slightly. Is there some way to make that work automatically so the screen just slightly pans around to indicate interactivity? I don't want to a full rotate or auto-tour since the embedded scene needs to be focused on a specific area of the scene.
