How to setup Description plugin

by ZITRONENWOLF » Tue Apr 17, 2018 11:10 am

Hello, this might be a silly question, but I didn't find an answer:
I have the classic control bar with "show/hide information" active and the Description-plugin with a dexcription title and "show overlay" active. In the rendered tour nothing happens.
What else do I have to do to show an information text or image?

Thanks, Heiko

Hi.. Did you view your Tour using the Green Preview Last pano or the KRPano Testing Server...

You can add an images into the Description using HTML code tags.. You will need to provide the url to the image....

Well if you see it, its the same as being uploaded to a Server... It needs a Server to view it.. After you upload your Tour it should all work..

The default setting of the description plugin is to show the description of the current panorama.
If your project does have a description but the current pano does not, nothing gets displayed when pressing the info-button having this scenario, meaning the description plugin configuration must be set to display the type of description messages you have in the tour.
If you want to show different types of description messages you need multiple instances of the description plugin.

No matter what I do... nothing happens. Here is my testtour:
http://www.zitronenwolf.com/rundgaenge/projekte/TESTS/Infoscreen/index.html

Now I always test over the internet and not locally.
In the description-plugin I tested "current project" and "current panorama".
I have descriptions for the project and for the panorama. I also tested "show overlay".

I never see anything.
Any ideas?

If you are talking about the i on the menu to show the Description, that is for the Tour, you need to add the Description to the Tour by clicking onto window and not a pano. Just add some text in the Text Box.. You can still use the Green Preview Last Pano.. It will work..

Then you have panos Description and Group Descriptions.

Then you can add multiple Description Plugins to design the Descriptions as you like...

Yes, it's all about the "i" in the "Classic Control Bar".
I have a tour and a pano Description. Without the plugin nothing happens - beside the "i" that is explained: "This button will work only if you have a plugin like Description...".
But also the Description plugin doesn't help...

I have just tested the lasted update.. I think there is a problem with the Description Plugin... I will test a bit more before passing it onto as a bug... I have not used it for a while so I need to work out if there is an issue..

I guess I have the solution: I activated the checkbox: "Interact with tour info events". Now it works - also with the green button. Thanks a lot!

Yes, it all works my end.. You need to set the Description to Current Project for the Tour i menu button.. You then add another Description Plugin and set that for current spot etc.... But it all works fine.. I have not used it for a few moths so I forgot how to use it.. Its really quite easy...

If you wanna show descriptions for the tour and for the panoramas with two plugins: how could I address them separately? In the description plugin I can't see a possibility to set an ID for example.

You need to use a Hotspot for the individual Pano.. When you click on the hotspot the Description box is available to add your text..

You can use 2 differents Description plugins on for the project and one for the panoramas.
