Hi

My tours are currently a bunch of html (and corresponding xml) files that I link together.

Lots of disadvanatges to this including having to repeat the menu in each file, precaching problems and probably more,

Can someone point me in the direction of how to begin making this into a single html and xml file

Thanks

Masten

check out the bw_preview xml that came in the examples folder. That's how I got started on being able to understand multinode design.

There really is no one method to it. There's the bw_preview design of setting up each pano as it's own function inside the global tag. Others prefer to use the loadPano command in their hotspot's onClick. Pretty much, whichever format you find makes the most sense to you, and is the easiest to go back and edit, if need be.

If you've already set up some multinode tours, then it's just a matter of calling up the different panos, instead of different xmls or htmls, and learning to make the "linked" and "unlinked" parameters, your best friends.

Also, if there are some multinode tours you've seen that you like, it never hurts to sneak an inspirational peek at their code.
