Hi and thanks for the incredible v5 version! I am just scratching the surface of the possibilities.
Please help me with this one:
I have a gigapan with info-boxes on different locations. I would like to let the viewers access the gigapan - with a different url for each info-box, so that just that one is displayed, the others are hidden. The FOV/pan and tilt should be specific for each one and included in the URL.
Is this possible?

Is this not possible? Or is my explanation not clear enough?

Hi,
So to fully understand you want by URL to open in a different P/T/F and only show a particular point hotspot with all others hidden and not accessible?
I don't think this can be done easily.
However not to say it can't be done..
My thoughts are.
Start your project, under your HTML tab right click on the Output file path and enter: output/a/index.html
Then under the Advanced tab change the Output file to: output/pano_a.xml
Under you viewing parameters set your default view.
Then add the hotspot for that view, then publish.

Now go back and edit the HTML tab to: output/b/index.html
And Advanced tab: output/pano_b.xml
Change the default view and change the point hotspot.
Then publish.

Do this for each location.

What you will end up with is an output folder containing just one set of tiles and then pano_a.xml, pano_b.xml then a and b folders.
The file path once uploaded would look something like:
http://www.yourweb/output/a
http://www.yourweb/output/b

This would open the panos using unique views and hotspots but only having one set of images on the server.
This is long winded but does work very well.

Hopki
