360 and flat image mix - how to open flat images in popup

[kronpano]

Hi there,
I might have done something silly or I'm just missing something.
I have imported panoramas AND flat images into a project (the ones in the red area are panoramas, the rest are flat images)
.

This allows me to use the cloner to generate one menu for panoramas and one for still images using tags
.

So I have my pano thumbnail menu

which works fine.
The map works fine with all images and panos shown


and the still image menu


shows everything fine.
The problem is - how do I now open a flat image from the map pin or the still image menu in an overlay?? I've got an image popup defined in the skin and I can see it popping up when I choose a flat image from the menu but I've been struggling to get the image to actually show in an overlay.



Using a "Open Next Panorama" action (which I guess is designed for - well - panoramas and not flat images) opens the flat image in the "main panorama" area and not in an image popup.
Is there any way to define a target for a flat image node?
Or can I not really use a mix of pano and flat in the way I set it up??

Is there any way??
Over the weekend I had a look at several gallery solutions posted in the forum but still can't get it to work.

Am I right in assuming that I can't really change the "External URL" or image source of an added image dynamically - tried using javascript and variables but couldn't manage it.

Any other solution I am considering (don't know yet if they work) will certainly be a lot of work if nodes/images need to be rearranged
One solution I had in mind is to use the cloner for the menu as is but I would also open the flat images in separate overlays and toggle their visibility based on a image menu or map pin click.
Certainly not elegant since I would keep all images basically open all the time.

The problem with other gallery solutions is that the request is - panoramas and flat images should have the same drop-down menu structure (or even be combined in one drop-down) with the same categories
Both - images and maps should be visible on the map and be clickable in the way that a click on a panorama opens a new panorama and a click on an image opens the image+description in the image overlay.

So after playing with galleries over the weekend I settled for the following approach.

I took the full size flat images and made a separate gallery project out of them with direct node access enabled.
All the information for the gallery (flat image) pop-up is contained in that project (titles and descriptions).

In the main project I am using thumb size duplicates of the flat images which still have the GPS data (for map markers) and I have to manually duplicate the tiles (for the cloner to create the menu with thumbnail and title).
Then using the gallery as an asset I have added this action to the cloner for the flat image thumbnails

Code: Select all

<iframe src="assets/MedGalleryOut/index.html#node$(ud)" title="Node image" style="border:none; width:100%;  height:100% ; -moz-border-radius: 18px; -webkit-border-radius: 18px; border-radius: 18px" allowfullscreen="false"  scrolling="no"></iframe>

and a similar one to the map marker of the flat images.
The User Data description is being used for the direct node access.

The only "downside" is that I need to create small thumb images (which I strictly don't need to do) and duplicate the title description but I can live with that.
