my tours are working offline pretty well, so I can copy (burn) them on a CD and they will work also...
... and I definitley do not want to send my tours via email: I work since 1990 in IT business for ISP's and can say the providers still have limitations on the size of mails. If you're provider does handle 100mb mails than you can be lucky, but you can never be sure if your tour will arrive at the desired emailadresse...
mail attachments does get blown up 30% because attachements data has to be encoded to 7bit data (images etc. are 8 bit... so you've co convert them, finally sizes goes up 30%)
so asume 100mb maillimit for sending a mail.... than your tour may be no gigger than 76,9mb on your harddisc.
than send your tour of 40mb (if youre using a fisheypano made of 6 images or so) to 20 persons. 20 x (40 x 1,3) = 1gig... have fun (if your mailclient nore the mailserver has no ecxceed timelimit for sending mails, in general set to less than 10min)

Georg,
How do your tours work offline? Just open the swf file with an internet browser? In that case you are not able to use full screen command. Or you save them as html? In that case wich is the code for (some kind of) „embed”?

as andrew said, the generic template from ptp does the trick. and also and recently added and in 1.7.3 available is the fullsize template, it creates an html where your tour is not surrounded by the white border and the project name title...

(in ptp with loaded project -> project properties tab-> build tour -> x standard tour + HTML Template: change none to generic or fullpage.html)

Liebe Gruesse,
Georg

Hi Georg, I have a similar application. I want to create a HD 1920x1080 standalone panorama kiosk that should boot up with a borderless welcome screen and run in presentation mode until it gets shut down. How can this be achieved? If I do the full page I still get a menu bar, not full screen view.
Thanks
Mark

hm. this is possible, but its a lot of work, all manual xml coding. see documentation at www.krpano.com
if you wanna disable only the buttons of the menu and this permanently, than its easy by editing main xml file of the created tour (the one without a number before the .xml)

search for the plugins of the menu bar:
you will find this or less complex lines per button like the following for the zoming in bitton if you set visible="true" to "false" the button will not be displayed.

<plugin name="in" align="bottom" crop="92|27|46|46" height="prop" keep="true" onovercrop="92|227|46|46" url="builddata/graphics/menu/menu5.png" visible="false" width="" x="-138" y="27"/>

the endlessloop and interactivity to get menubar back is a lot of xml codeing

following example (still beta of my ptp commercial theme) shows a 5 pano tour, the debugmode is enabled; the menubar is minimized and autotour is starting after 10 seconds, klicking with mouse will interrupt the tour and the "=" change to ">" to start the autotour from begin again; clicking on minimized menu will bring up the mainmenu; activating sound will start sound volumebar; helbutton shows also multilingual option and replay intro buttons; intro is disabled in this example; the autotour is set to have no transitions between the panos (several could be enabled via xml file). The code is 3500 lines long...

wow. I am surprised for sure and somewhat discouraged.
I would have thought, that a function that you trigger with the press of the fullscreen button on the actual tour would be easier to access. Just to confirm: this effort would be needed, just to start the tour full screen?

Cheers

I use in my example the default fullscreen function coming with the default themes. To start per default in fullscreenmode (covering all screen of user) is - if I remember past postings on forum well - because of flash security restrictions not possible.

? hmm ? dont get the point you wanna achieve...


PS embedding you asking: ptp produces single html, xml and html files. embedding all will give you one file where all swf, xml, html etc is included. So you can hide xml code from your customers if you give them the tour, you can more easily transfer the tour, but always with the backdraw of loss of performance (in special if your tour is hires)...
