Website box: How to close when opening new box

by urke » Fri Oct 02, 2015 8:10 am

I have a project (not yet published) with multible hotspots containing the website box plugin.

Problem: The most intuitive behavior would be that the website box closes when the user click on another (website box) hotspot. But in fact you need to close the box using the close button before you can open another object. This is the main complaint after the internal user testing.

I thought the "Close When an Other Graphic Object is Displayed" checkbox would fix this, but it don't. The other object does not launch the website box before the first is closed using the close button.

I don't know if this is a bug or feature, but I need a quick fix anyway. Any ideas how to work this out?

Hi.. I requested that feature a long time ago.. You cannot even close it as you want an Call Action On Pano Event..

I am sure I did it before but had to hand code it.. Not sure.. Cannot remember. I will give it a play...

Its probably on the Kolor TO DO LIST...

You're right the only way to do it at this time is the use of multiples Website Box plugins so the first one is able to close the second one etc ... So you need at least one Website Box plugin and also at least one hotspot style with a "open website box plugin" action by spot into a single scene.

I have 135 hotspots... Doesn't seem like a good idea to have 135 plugin instances, I guess?

The project is live btw:

Argh ... I see ! 135 spots on the same panorama. The solution is not a good one for your tour

So best way in your case is to edit the "websiteViewer" plugin into the index_skin.xml file.
Try this update of the "openWebsite_websiteViewer" action :

Code: Select all

<action name="openWebsite_websiteViewer">
   ifnot(ptplugin[websiteViewer].isOpen,
      if(ptplugin[websiteViewer].doNotDeleteMe,
         set(ptplugin[websiteViewer].currentCall, false);
      set(ptplugin[websiteViewer].isOpen, true);
      set(ptplugin[websiteViewer].doNotDeleteMe, false);
      getmessage(boxurl, %1);
      txtadd(boxurl, ?iframe=true);
      pauseautorotation(forceplugin);

      js(invokePluginFunction(websiteViewer, loadSingleArrayItem, get(boxurl), %2));
      ,
         set(ptplugin[websiteViewer].currentCall, true);
         set(ptplugin[websiteViewer].doNotDeleteMe, true);
         events.dispatch(onremovedisplayedobject);
         delayedcall(0.3,openWebsite_websiteViewer(%1,%2););
      );
        ,
          closeKolorBox_websiteViewer();
          delayedcall(0.3,openWebsite_websiteViewer(%1,%2););
   );
</action>
