How come the „?ts…“ at the end of a link resets your position to one specific location on the application?
We have the following problem with our application:
When moving around between different hotspots the link always stays the same, i.e. it’s the name of the URL where you start off, so you have to change the URL manually via deep links which we have included. Every time you click on the deep link the URL gets renewed and changes to our current position. However, it also always adds „?ts“ and some random numbers to the end of the link which has an influence on where you end up. When keeping the „?ts…“, the application directs you to one certain hotspot. When taking the „?ts…“ away from the URL and you reload, you stay at the correct hotspot.
So what does the „ts“ mean and do? How come it changes the where you end up and influences your position?
„?ts…“ at the end of a link
To anyone having the same problem as we did, we’ve found what is causing it:
Before creating the output, under HTML -> Template -> edit Template -> Template Parameters active the parameter „Direct node access“ and deactivate „Add Cache buster query parameter“. This will solve the „?ts=1234“ issue at the end of the URL. If you want to read more about it, go to https://ggnome.com/doc/pano2vr/export/templates/normal/.
