It looks like this when previewed in the WP Editor.
Using a Cube image in iPanorama. Seems several issues may come in. While not intuitive, there are 2 “cube” types in the iPanorama drop down. Try them both, but this one use the
I have been wanting to change the way I display the nature preserves where I volunteer. I was using an image with “hot spots” added. It works, but I sorta wanted to do more.
I found a plugin that helps to easily construct and customize Google Maps.
The basic, free, WP Go Maps plugin produced the following map.
You can see it’s pretty limited. The pop up justs shows the coordinates of a location. Actually when you enter an address it will show the address in the popup. BUT, many of the pins need moved to actually sit on the parking lot, trail head, etc. and when you move the pin. . . it no longer knows the address so it puts the GPS coordinates in the pop up, Not so useful since you cannot tell which of the preserves you are looking at, or any information about them.
I am thinking about “going Pro” with the plugin so I can do a lot of other fancy customization’s. One PRO feature is also being able to provide directions to the preserve to the user. Will also sort a list by distance away, and other fun things! It’s not expensive, but need to think if it is something that I am really going to spend time on, and why.
I shall go and ponder this for awhile and come to a decision.
For fun, I saw the code to add a movie “Splash Screen” at the beginning of the tour. I need a better video to use though, I just grabbed the first one I came to!
Either way works, but using iframe allows you to easily adjust the size of your window.
In a prior post I went through changing the size the 360 is displayed using the “Embed code with ID” settings. Some people may find it easier to use the “General” settings in iPanorama to set the desired size of the displayed image. Just insert the “Standard shortcode” and you are done.
Leaving all settings at their defaults, and using the “Standard Shortcode” I get the following for my #9 iPanorama tour.
So, it appears that the “default” ends ups 543×269… why, I have no clue.
Note: You MUST add the units, in this case it is pixels, so make sure you put “px” after the number!! Or you will get really frustrated trying to figure out why it isn’t working!
Now, to experiment, in “General” settings, “Container”, Turn off Container “Auto width” and “Auto height”, then set them to another value. I used 300px by 100px here.
Not so useful at this size! Unless you just wanted people to see the controls!
The actual image comes out at 269×89, maybe to preserve aspect ratios? Allow room for borders? Maybe padding? Again, I don’t know, but it does change the displayed image size. You can tweak the sizes to get closer to the actual display size you want.
Changing the Container size, but only using the Width setting while leaving the height set to “Auto”.
Again, we can see it has changed size, to match the width entered into the Container settings. Not sure where the height comes from!
This is mostly to show that in fact these settings work, and how to make basic changes to them.
