Hi

Ok so you can use the external URL to load an image or video from another site into the pano. What I would like to know is how you would use a logic block to load several images to different nodes that are located in one file on another server.

For example:

External URL is Https://somesite.com/

Logic block

Trigger=Tags Comparison=contain Value=some_tag_name External URL:folder/image1.png

As I can not seem to get the images to show up in the pano when it is live on the web.

Hi Mark,

I've run into something similar and I think you need to have external URL's defined when the project loads.

You may be better creating the external image holders adding in the absolute URL and then using a variable to show and hide them based on the node you are visiting.

I'm actually doing the same thing in a tutorial I'm writing at the moment where I use external images for the thumbnails. I have to load them all at runtime and show and hide them based on mouseovers.

Maybe Hopki can provide an alternative solution?

Hi Guys,
What you also need is the site that is hosting the content needs to give permission for you to embed, as an example if you use a text box and iframe to display a web page, sites like ours or Google will not allow this and it is blocked. However sites like Wikipedia do.
Also with content the host will need Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) enabled.
As an example you would add a .htaccess file to your server: Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
The "*" means all your site, or you can add a path to a folder so only this folder is allowed to share its content.
Google it as there is tones of information on it.

Hopki

Thank you both Tony and Martin for putting me on the right path. I am once again forward moving!

Tony are the tutorials that you are doing going to be for everyone or are you making a course about how to use Pano? Sorry to ask just absorbing info at a fast pace here and working through Martins examples etc.
