a tested html template including the appropriate

putting the pano autorotating into the newsfeed would be nice !

Can be done manually here : http://www.autopano.net/wiki-en/action/view/Panotour_Documentation_-_Web_Publishing#Flash_version_of_the_tour_included_into_the_Facebook_post_with_a_play_button

No template available yet.

What is the question exactly ?

In fact my simply question is:
exist a easy way to insert a Virtual Tour in a Facebook page.

Into a facebook post (as a share) it's easy with the add of open graph meta tags, see documentation in previous post.
In this case only the Flash viewer will be displayed and all html5 plugins will be lost, so it's ok for a simple visit.

Into a facebook page the better way will be to have an "iframe" injection of your url with an iframe facebook application I think.

I am having trouble publishing my panoramas on facebook. Using Panotour 1.8 I have published lots of panoramas without any problem. Since I moved to 2.0 I´m getting the "Security Error" - it seems I'm not correctly filling the field "Restricted Domains", but I´m doing the same thing as always: putting my website and facebook.com as restricted domains. Please see the attached images
Can you help me?

Your meta tags are wrong on this page : http://www.360panoramas.com.br/wp-content/panoramas/mogi/shopping/patinacaonogelo.html
You have to set the SWF url with XML file as parameter rather than call the XML file for video player.
See here : http://www.autopano.net/wiki-en/action/view/Panotour_Documentation_-_Web_Publishing#Flash_version_of_the_tour_included_into_the_Facebook_post_with_a_play_button

Code: Select all

<meta content="http://URL/PATH/VIRTUAL_TOUR_DATA_DIRECTORY/VIRTUAL_TOUR_NAME.swf?xml=http://URL/PATH/VIRTUAL_TOUR_DATA_DIRECTORY/VIRTUAL_TOUR_NAME.xml" property="og:video"></meta>
<meta content="https://URL/PATH/VIRTUAL_TOUR_DATA_DIRECTORY/VIRTUAL_TOUR_NAME.swf?xml=https://URL/PATH/VIRTUAL_TOUR_DATA_DIRECTORY/VIRTUAL_TOUR_NAME.xml" property="og:video:secure_url"></meta>

Thanks, Benjamin, for your help. I pulled out the old metatags and put the new code as the Wiki states. Unfortunately the error kept popping up, even for new panoramas.
Using Facebook Debugger I realized how to get rid of this problem: Changing all http: //360panoramas to http: //www. 360panoramas

Now all my panoramas are working well
