Hi there,

You ve done an amazing job on this new version, thanks for it.

I m rebuilding a new template on Pano2VR7 as we won't be able to use our old pano2vr 6 ggsk (to many bugs I find that i can't figure out, mobile mode not shown for example...).
The exemple shown down here is a WIP version, I use the feather_orb to begin with and I have some question I don't find in the v7 doc for now to continue :
  • ht_url > _blank > the template doesn’t go _blank but open the popup, is that a bug ? Is there a way to force the _blank. (the self goes to the popup which I find fine)
  • Map button : I wanna make one unique button which show only the map where the pin is (floor plan or map) and do not show the map button if there is no map at all or if the pin is not on it, How could I do that ?
  • How to use the color settings of the template for new element in the template edditor ? (such as the line on my beach POI)
  • How to add a color picker in the the color settings (for icon color for exemple, in addition to BG icon)
  • The VR mode is still funky on mobile phone, it "work" (I have the pointer and it goes through nodes) but it's is not aligned well for the eyes (We tried on android and iphones with various sizes, and we get the same results), is there a way to fix that ?
My test url :
https://mon.plan3d.immo/test_romain/pano2vr2023/output/

Bonus Question : on my previous v6 template, I built around 20 POI style hotspot (with different icons) like bus stop, super market ... Is there a way to make only one hotspot POI and use a custom variable ? Perhaps that add a "select" on the hotspot ? Maybe in the personnal properties of the hotspot? My idea is that I use Fontawsome icons, so I can import the font with a script then only change the icon "name" (fa-{icon-name}) such as fa-face-awesome. This should give the bonus of using the whole library and not only my selection of icons.

Thanks for your answer,
Best regards,

Hi rsuard,
The target _blank will open a new web page, _self will replace the HTML page.
Are you using this with a text box and iframe?

In V7 there is a logic block trigger called

You can use these to make your map button, you will be abkle to detect if the node is on the map or not.
Not sure what you mean when you say: How to use the color settings of the template for new element in the template edditor ?
Have a look in teh documents for teh Colour tool, you select an element in teh skin thne open teh colour tool, you can then expose it so it can be changed using the skin configeration.

VR, yes this was working then the last iOS update broke it it for the iPhone.
Not sure what happned for Android phone but testing yes we see this.
Added to the list.

Hi Hopki,

Thanks, again and again, for your precise answer.
I ll try for the map and look around for colors pickers.

I didn't understand your point for the _blank.
In the example I gave, I pinned 2 url hotspot with the same link for target, one is in "self" which open a modal view with an iframe of the link. The other is in "blank" but the comportement is exactly the same which I find weird ?
(see screenshots : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zie6uba37g1e ... trdxa?dl=0)

Do you have a tip for my bonus question ? :-)

Thanks a lot, again, amazing job !

Hi There,

I have been going forward on my template. see :
https://mon.plan3d.immo/test_romain/pano2vr2023/output/

I am still troubleshooting on 2 things.
- The color picker : how to add one, how to use the propertie/variable on my element, see :
https://mon.plan3d.immo/test_romain/pan ... /color.png
- The _blank page. It is still opening the popin instead of going on a new tab.

could you help me with this 2 points ?

I found a way for the map, i shoot my map before changing node, then I show a map or a floorplan on the new node looking if I have a node on the floorplan or a value dif to "empty" on lattitude for map

Thanks again for your answer,
Romain

i'm a bit confused too. is there a way if i have a link-hotspot and choose "_blank" as target, that it will not open as an "opt_url_popup"? In the logic block it only works if I give an ID but not if I define general "if the target is _blank, the variable opt_url_popup is wrong"

Hi Romain
For the colour you need to expose the colour in the element, please see: https://ggnome.com/doc/pano2vr/create-s ... olor-tool/
If using one of the skins that come with Pano2VR, you set if it opens a new page or opens in the player using the Skin Configuration.

Hi Hopki,

Thanks for your anwser and the doc !
I found my way for the colors with this help.

For the url hotspot, sorry, it is not clear. As I see it, normally, there is two type of node in the skin, blanck and popin. But they do actually the same thing trigged by this choice in your picture ?

However, I'm experiencing new troubles that I ll post in the skin VR section of the forum maybe.

Thanks again,
Best regards,

Romain
