I created a virtual tour of the Nesbitt Gallery at USAO using the latest Pano2VR 4.5.1 (10655) and was having an issue with my Fancybox popups not dismissing. You can press the "ESC" key to dismiss them but cannot close them using the button. I thought maybe it was a z-index issue, but now I'm not so sure because the z-index of the Fancybox is greater than anything else in the DOM.

Here is a link : http://deweyartdesign.com/nesbitt1/index.html

I took the photos using a Ricoh Theta that the school purchased so they're a little bit grainy and low resolution. It's a pretty good camera for the price, though. I'm sure they'll eventually improve the optics with subsequent releases.

I thought maybe the problem is that the tour is using 3d css space so I needed to break out of that using "transform-style : flat" but I don't know what to apply that to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to experiment with different lightbox scripts to see if I can solve the problem. I did a slight modification to the pano2vr_player.js by referencing my function to open the fancybox. This was so that the gallery people could eventually do everything themselves without having to reference complicated urls within the Pano2VR software.

This is very similar to the problem found here : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9473&p=37588&hilit=z+index#p37588

I'm having the issue with the latest chrome and safari/mobile safari, but not with firefox. I'm going to tinker with it and post my findings here.

On a side note, I learned that the temporary web server that is generated by Pano2VR somehow blocks my fancybox windows from displaying at all. I've tested this with colorbox and fancybox 2 and 3 beta. This was a source of great frustration and confusion because I could see that the windows were appearing in the code (using the web inspector) but they were somehow blocked from showing on the screen. This is just an FYI to anyone doing this sort of custom implementation.

I figured it out by simply applying ...

Code: Select all

position:absolute;z-index:1000
... to the container for the tour. I'm glad to finally have that working right!

Hi,
Thanks for sharing the information with the forum.
Have not used Fancy box myself, but if I ever did this is good to know.

Hey DD Working with the Theta right now, it certainly has its uses and that's a clean site you made - just a pity (as you said) about the noise. If you updated to the latest firmware (v1.30) and the latest APP from Ricoh, you can now fire the Theta with shutter priority or ISO priority. This is really useful for indoor shooting at shorter exposure or lower ISO as this reduces the grain.

Could you enlighten how one goes about integrating Fancybox into P2VR? I, too have the latest stable build (4.5.1) and I am experiencing great difficulty connecting hotspots/skin/fancybox. I chose fancybox as it gives ability to reveal basic HTML or images as an overlay, both in Flash & HTML5.

Whatever you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Pano2VR PRO 6.1.15 pro 64bit

Hello Chu,

Thanks for the update on the Theta. I updated the firmware yesterday and have noticed significantly less noise in the output. My firmware was actually 0.10 or something like that so it had not been updated at all since leaving the factory. It's definitely going to help with the subsequent virtual tours I'm doing for the gallery!

As for adding fancybox support, I did it in such a way where the user would not have to enter any javascript in the hotspots. It'll have to be updated with every new release or else I'm just going to have to tell them not to upgrade their Pano2VR software until I can determine if this approach will need to be updated as well. I did it by examining the pano2vr_player.js and finding the openURL functions and the functions that reference it in order to pass the title parameter from the xml file.

First off, I "beautified" the compiled javascript file so that I can better read what's going on. I found all instances of openUrl and added the title attribute to them.

For instance, I replaced...

Code: Select all

openUrl(a.url,a.target
with

Code: Select all

openUrl(a.url,a.target,a.title
There are a couple of references to the function that I added the title attribute to. I then added the title attribute to the beginning of the openUrl function as well as a reference to my function at the end...

Code: Select all

openUrl=function(a,b,c){0<a.length&&(".xml"==a.substr(a.length-4)||".swf"==a.substr(a.length-4)||"{"==a.charAt(0)?Eb.openNext($(a),b):myfancybox(a,b,c))}
If you want, you can just download my modded file :
http://deweyartdesign.com/nesbitt1/pano ... yer_mod.js

Finally, I added a new template with my function embedded in it...

Code: Select all

I saved that file in the html5 folder in Pano2vr's application files. For a mac, those are found in :

Code: Select all

~/Library/Application Support/GardenGnomeSoftware/Pano2VR/HtmlTemplates/html5
With every new pano I save that is using this feature, I just make sure and choose the html5 "fancybox" template and save a copy of the modded javascript in the output directory as "pano2vr_player_mod.js". The different file name is better to do so that it does not get overwritten whenever you update the pano. I also add jquery and the fancybox files of course. I'm using 1.8.3 just saved as jquery. You could probably use the CDN version of jquery too if you wanted. The version of fancybox I'm using is the Beta 3 version here :
http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/beta/

I'm still having issues with fullscreen and my skin is malfunctioning on the iphone whenever I flip the orientation from vertical to horizontal but that is not related to the fancybox integration.

I hope to get more time in the future to troubleshoot the fullscreen problem but I'm pretty inundated lately with my two jobs and other side work. Hope this helps!

Glad the updated firmware has noticeable results, the stitching algorithm was also updated so you will hopefully notice that too.

This most certainly does - on the surface at least (not being a first degree coder). I shall report back to this topic once I've also found time to 'beautify' and hopefully i'll have most of my hair left!

I figured it out using my own fullscreen function that uses the entire body of the page. Here is a demo file with everything you need including instructions on where to put the template "fancybox.ggt" file.

Here is the demo online so you can see how it works :

About 8:00 (UTC+2) I visited your demo panorama and Fancybox worked in fullscreen. But now it doesn't.
Did you change something at your demo site?

This seems to work in HTML5 but not in flash, any chance we can reignite some workflow discussion?

This is what I've achieved so far, limited results with both flash and html5. Please permit me to get as detailed as I fear I might...

@Ddewey - I am using your pano2vr_player_mod.js file and called it your way in the html templates:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
        function myfancybox(a, c, x) {
				$.fancybox({
					href : a,
					title : x,
					beforeShow : function () {
						$( ".ggskin" ).hide();
    				},
    				beforeClose : function () {
    					$( ".ggskin" ).show();
					}
 				});
 			}
		</script>
...and in my HTML5 skin, the hotspots have this action on click:

Code: Select all

javascript:parent.$.fancybox.open({href:'$hu',title:'$hs',type:'iframe',openEffect : 'elastic',closeEffect : 'fade',prevEffect : 'none',nextEffect : 'none',fitToView  : true,helpers : {media : {},buttons : {},title: {type: 'inside'},overlay : {opacity: 0.8}}});
and the Flash skin:

Code: Select all

javascript:parent.$.fancybox.open({href:'$hu',title:'$hs',type:'iframe',openEffect : 'elastic',closeEffect : 'fade',prevEffect : 'none',nextEffect : 'none',autoSize   : true,fixed : true,arrows : false,helpers : {media : {},buttons : {},title: {type: 'inside'},overlay : {opacity: 0.8,css : {'background-color' : '#000'}}}});
The flash skin works with the following extra values:
  • autoSize:true (in place of fitToView)
  • fixed:true
  • arrows:false
  • helpers : {overlay : {css : {'background-color' : '#000'}}
I'm quite happy with the results as I can have hotspot links for images/text/video embeds and webpages - all with the same hotspot skin design. This has varying results for the fancybox behaviour, I have written notes for the attached images below:

Q1. How do i position the fancybox elements in front of the skin elements in iOS?
Q2. Why did the scrollbars and styling vanish from Chrome on Android?
Q3. How do I make fancybox show when viewed in fullscreen? The fancybox also vanishes when flipping browser into fullscreen view.
Q4. Any way to define galleries (rel tag) within the hotspot values (target perhaps)?

As far as showing an operational url, the meaningful hotspots live at www.raw360.net, Enter the kitchen and Go to the trick Top Hat.

Thanks in advance for helping to get to the bottom of this. In a lot of ways this shouldn't replace the current workflow for media elements, but in addition this is a very valuable script for associating rich media content with tours.

Q1 : I'm not sure how to get the fancybox elements positioned above the skin elements. I originally thought maybe z-index but could never get it to work using z-index. I finally solved this by hiding the elements using jQuery and then showing them again whenever the fancybox is closed.

Q2 : Unfortunately I'm unable to test in Android devices at this time because I don't own anything running Android.

Q3 : The fullscreen issue only occurred for me on external screens and I haven't had time to troubleshoot this further. Until I've had a chance to figure out what the problem is, I've just been doing a pseudo "full-screen" where the pano fills the whole body of the browser window.

Q4 : It might be possible to do a gallery view with previous and next links, but I haven't gotten it to work yet. The other fancyboxes are not going to be visible in the DOM because I'm calling fancybox arbitrarily within a function instead of finding all links within a page that have a class of "fancybox". That is how it is able to see the other links. In order for this to work like that, it would probably require a function that searches the "skin.js" file for the fancybox links. This is a little over my head though. I'm more creatively inclined than anything and don't get a lot of time to tinker with the code much unless it is paying the bills.

Most of the work I did to Pano2VR was done when I was unemployed a few months ago and have just been too tied up with the day job to do much of anything else.

BTW... I really like the raw360.net site. Did you render that with toon effects or is it just textured that way? Really nice work!

Ok, this is the second time I have written a response... restarts of the browser and going 'back' without realising. tut tut

So, I've sorted a couple of the aboves:

Q1, edited pano2vr_player_mod.js as suggested by Dhogg here
Q2 is indeed a styling issue, but now I only see the scrollbars when their invisible containers are first clicked on, well weird.
Q3, I just don't include the double-click to fullscreen in settings
Q4, your response reads well complicated from my perspective!

With raw360, the equirectangular images are from drawings that are then mapped in Sketchup and rendered with Kerkythea, thanks a lot for the comments!

There's another issue this has created with a demonstration of an exhibition where my work is showing. I hope to use the fancybox image popups but when I create the html with the fancybox script links etc, the page simply doesn't want to play good.

The first load asks to click a CONTINUE arrow, but it simply wont register a click on the iPhone...
It could be styling, I tried loads of alterations.
Could it be the javascript itself?

I am pulling my hair out... any help at all greatly appreciated. It doesn't help that I cant actually diagnose issues on the actual iPhone cos there's no developer option...

Any pointers?
Here's the live demo
Using:
Pano2VR PRO 6.1.15 pro 64bit
build 18116/5.12.2

Windows 10 x64
Human Brain v1.3

So you're trying to open up a fancybox view to an html page when you click on the "?" in the top right corner? I did something similar to that on this gallery here :

For that use case, I changed the function so that it searches for the presence of an ".html" in the url and triggers iframe mode for the fancybox. It's not very elegant solution but it works:

Code: Select all

function myfancybox(a, c, x) {
    // check to see if fancybox is going to be an image or an iframe
    var n = a.indexOf(".html");
    if (n != -1) {
        $.fancybox({
        href : a,
        type : 'iframe',
        width: "100%",
        margin: [0,0,0,0],
        beforeShow : function () {
            $( ".ggskin" ).hide();
        },
        beforeClose : function () {
            $( ".ggskin" ).show();
        }
        });
    } else {
        $.fancybox({
        href : a,
        title : x,
        beforeShow : function () {
            $( ".ggskin" ).hide();
        },
        beforeClose : function () {
        $( ".ggskin" ).show();
        }
        });
    }
}
