Picshow plugin

[uudu]

Hi Tommy,
Found a nice surprise in your plugins page. Something like this was waited long.
Thank you very much.

Already tested on occasional pano and one thing came to mind - the style of frame didn't suite with this, and can imagine with many other panos, well. Will there be possibility in future to control the style of it? For example to make frame just flat.

Thanks again

uudu,

consider it done...

Thank you Tommy, you are amazing.
Much cleaner feeling now. Is it possible to flatten buttons also or have some control over them? Or it will be too complicate?
I think, the minimalistic look will give it much wider use in panos or tours with different layout.

uudu:
To replace the buttons is much more work and coding, at least if you want to supply your own buttons (and I hate drawing in CS3). But I will take a look at it and see if I can come up with something. And you are of course right about the minimalistic look.

Yvan:
You're welcome!

I am currently testing the picshow series plugin ... yet another great one! THANK YOU Prof. All Saints!

I'm making a simple gallery tour demo where you can click at the different pictures to load them at a higher resolution.

You can see it in action at: www zakato com/testfpp/picshow2_test_01.html

I have decided to use picshow2 since it autoscales when you go fullscreen.

Thing is:

I have also implemented a simple control bar that displays with the plugin: next, previous, zoom, zoom reset, text field and close buttons.

The text field (textbox pluging) should display a different text for each loaded image.

This is working ok when you select each picture individually from the pano. BUT, it does not change accordingly when using "next" or "previous" in the control bar.

Any ideas?

The very first version, picshow, has a text field that changes with the picture, but this is not anymore available in picshow2.

Prof. All Saints: I wonder if it would be very difficult to add this feature back in picshow2.

Alternatively, it would be nice if each picture in the external xml configuration file could toggle a command when loaded (as in other plugins, i.e. floorplan) so that other actions could be done: I am thinking about reading text from an external file ... sorry I am just thinking out loud here!... this might not make too much plugin sense!

Any help would be appreciated!

and thanks for reading!

Hi Zakato,

well, yet another way of using one of my plugins that I hadn't thought of. And your gallery tour looks good!

The reason I removed the text field for the picshow2 plugin is that nobody seemed to like it or that everybody wanted to have their own design. Besides, the plugin code got a bit cluttered when you had to resize it all the time.

But adding an onShow command wouldn't be to much work, I think. Let me look into that and get back to you in this thread as soon as I can.

Zakato,

I have added an onShow attribute to the <picture> tag.

The new version of the picshow2 plugin is 1.2 and in my test page (http://wirestam.com/panos/Flash/picshow2/pictest21.html) you can see a text hotspot in the upper right corner showing every time the image is changed.
