openurl vs get url

Submitted by marley9 on September 11, 2008 - 10:10.

Normally the hotspots on my floorplan link to other pans referenced in the xml file. However for this current project, I am accessing pans from a database, and not within the xml file. For this purpose, I need the hotpsots on the floorplan to link to a URL. I see in the posts about 'open' vs. 'get', which seem to say not to use each other. Since the xml file for the pan is probably unaccessable to you, I added the code below to show what I am doing...but it is not responding at all.

<uielement id="op-hs01" image="dot" halign="left" hoffset="40" voffset="110" zorder="3">
        <behavior><action event="ready" type="getURL" url="http://360.tsi-media.de/tsi_shockwave.php?id=79a247f7433" target="frame"/></behavior>
      </uielement>

I know your probably sick of resolving xml issues, but I am confused about the posts for each respective 'get' or 'open' saying the not to use the other...

Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for being 'somewhat' unresponsive.

First, a couple of remarks on your xml:

  • defaultview, cameradynamics and cameralimits should go inside a <meta> tag
  • you have a typo here: <'panogroup src="cap.xml"/> (notice the single quote')
  • there's no need to specify the server over and over again (http://360.tsi-media.de)

If you want to load a new XML file into the SPi-V player, it is important to either not specify a frame, or specify "_spv" as the frame. Use getURL in this case.
