Direct Node Access from Instagram Stories

[jetpat]

Hi

I have setup a 360 tour with direct node access, so that i can link to specific nodes in the tour via a html link (adding '#' then the node ID at the end of the URL).

This works fine if the link is in a webpage on a mobile, but doesn't work if the link is from Instagram Stories from a mobile.

Any ideas on how to fix this.

Thanks.

Had a response from Martin via an email i did to him regarding this problem, here it is:

Looking on the Instagram website and searching for links it seems Instagram does not allow or wants people to use links.
Someone suggested using a URL shortening service such as Bitly.
But even so, I am not sure this will work.
It may be they don't allow Anchors which is what using the # is called.
This is something you will need to take up with Instagram support.
Regards,

Maybe try something like this?

1. Create an empty web page for each node. For example:
a. https://myDomain/pano1/node1.html
b. https://myDomain/pano1/node2.html
c. https://myDomain/pano1/node3.html

2. Within each html page above, configure it to immediately redirect using anchors*:
d. https://myDomain/pano1/index.html#node1
e. https://myDomain/pano1/index.html#node2
f. https://myDomain/pano1/index.html#node3

3. Within Instagram link to the above a, b and c web pages.

* For html code examples Google, "html5 redirect to another page onload".
