I've been unsuccessfully trying to add a button next to auto rotate, fullscreen etc that goes to the next pano in the hour, but I can't find anything! Is this possible?

use hotspots and the hotspot skin ID to customize the button to your likings

That's not exactly what I'm asking. So in Pano2VR you know how in the Tour dropdown you can go between Next/Prev pano. I want a button that does that but in the tour, regardless of hotspots and automatic (ie you don't have to set the next/prev pano for every single one, which could be a lot for large tours).

Hi,
In the user data enter the next node in say the Source text field and the previous in Information text field.
Then in the skin place two buttons, next node and previous node.
Next Node button actions:
mouse click => open next panorama => URL: $us => P/T/F

Then in the previous node button:
mouse click => open next panorama => URL: $ui => P/T/F

For Pano2VR you would enter the filename in the user data so for example in node two you would have pano_03.swf in the Source and pano_01.swf in the Information user data text field.

For Pano2VR Pro you would use the node ID, to see this make sure you have Show Internal Node ID selected found in the settings under Advanced. Then when you hover the image in the tour browser the node ID will be shown.

Now you know your node IDs you would write them like this in the Source and Information text fields:
Source: {node3}
Information: {node1}

Thats it the two buttons will now sequentially go forward and back through the nodes of the tour.
Regards,
Hopki

If you enter it in the hotspot or the userdata fields , there's no difference as
you have to tell the tool the previous next panorama name
Means, there is no automatic way to create a next via batchprocessing

I have added issue Issue #1147

If you are or you have a good Java Script Developer and look at skin.js and the function changeActiveNode you may be able to figure something out.

Currently setting the nodes in the user data is the easiest way.

Hi
I would modify the description like

Add an actions for mouse click, or timer
- Go to next node
- Go to previous node

based on a preset pano-name parameter

if we name our panos
pano_01 = $n-1 = previous
pano_02 ==$n
pano_03 = $n+1 = next

Need a solution that does not break if a pano is removed from the tour and the order is the same as it has been arranged in the tour regardless of the naming used.

The ability to do math in the skin is a hole different feature request.

Agree

Eventually reading panonam filenames from an external file (xml,csv) separated by semicolon ?
