Overlay with hotspots NOT using floor plan plugin?

Hello:

I am currently using the Floor Plan plugin for another item in my tour and need to essentially add a second instance of a floor plan. I know a second instance of the Floor Plan plugin is not possible, but wondered if there is another way to have a button display an another image + overlay that also has hotspots in it.

My tour is for a series of islands. I am using the Floor Plan plugin to navigate around a single island.

The new button I need would display a custom, illustrated map with hotspots to go to a different island. Clicking on the new island hotspot loads a new tour into the same window. And, yes, I did consider building one master tour with all islands/panos, but a couple of other plugins I am using prohibit me from doing it that way.

I considered creating a button with actions to display the new map and other buttons on top of the map, but it seems like it will be insane to get the x/y coordinates to align for the buttons I place on top of the map.

I figured I would ask if there was a better way before I tried to figure out crazy coordinates.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

You can add specific scenes as planar to show the map only for instance. In this case the map is displayed or the scene but not the 2 at the same time.

You can also create a floorplan by Group. The group floor plan will be displayed when you're into a scene of the current group. Yes it's not optimum.

You can add an HTML website viewer plugin to access a second tour of course but in this case you have to made the javascript code to call a scene of the priomary tour from an other tour embeded into an iframe. Not always an easy task.

Thanks Benjamin.

I ended up using a button to display the map as a graphic with more buttons on top of it. I manually calculated the placement of the overlay buttons that are functioning like map markers.

Hi benji33:

Is it possible to auto slide a planer scene left/right/up/down based on mouse position?

mouse position meaning cursor position.

Not possible with the GUI. You have to code it with krpano.
