xml not loaded in SPi-V instance
Hi Aldo,
The API calls from Java script are working now. Thanks a lot.
Nevertheless, the getURL call is not working as described.
quote: "... unless the file is an image or xml file in which case the file will be opened in the current SPi-V instance."
The xml is shown in the current browser window instaed.
My understanding of that desciption is, that I can change the XML file (scene, tour, ...) of the running SPi-V instance. correct? (which is exactly what I need)
Hope this can be fixed easily...
Thanks in advance
I'll investigate
Probably a bug. A link would help me to reproduce the bug.
Note that if you want to change to another scene (from multiple scenes inside a tour), you're supposed to use 'setview' instead.
PS: kind-of impressed you got it going with so little information ;-)
test file here ...
Hi Aldo,
here a small test html:
http://panoquest.net/api_call_test.html
(low res image file only, for speed reasons...)
(yes, I know I can changes the scene within a xml file with 'setview', but I need to change the xml file too)
a bit of a bug indeed...
For now, use 'openurl' instead of 'geturl'
openURL works great. Thanks
