Hi all
I made a virtual tour which consist of two panoramas, when i use polygonal hotspot to link between them everything is fine but when i use point hotspots they are not working , i see the image of the hotspot and when i click on it nothing happened, the title does not appear too, i watched this tutorial (http://ggnome.com/wiki/Building_a_Tour_%28Pano2VR%29 ) and I followed the steps carefully with no luck,is it related to a hotspot template i downloaded and i use it in this project ? the skin editor shows the hotspot template and button properties as follows

i hope this pics are not annoying ,i appreciate your assistance

Hi,
All this information is in the websites documents page for Pano2VR.
You will see under Reference Skin Placeholders and System Placeholders.

What you can also do is look at the Simplex Skin that comes with Pano2VR, then copy and paste the Hotspot template in your own skin.
You are also able to see the actions and how it works showing the title.
The Hotspot Template has the placeholders to read the hotspot URL, $hu and Target, $ht, so it does not matter how many hotspots you have it will read the information and select the file in the URL.
Regards,
Hopki
