Is it possible to integrate both text and pictures in a hotspot? You could create an "article" using eg MS-Word, convert the Word-File to an Image and then link it to an image hotspot, but if you want to change something, it takes a lot of work....

Hi Hakon,

The simple answer is yes! The longer answer, and the way I do it, is to create an HTML page using CSS that incorporates the image/s, text, links, fonts etc. and then add it to the hotspot text box using iFrame code. Then if you want to change anything you just have to modify the HTML page.

Hi Tony,

thank you for your suggestion. Looks like I have to get into HTML programming.

Yes, that's what I had to do too. Actually it's more CSS than HTML, the HTML bit is easy.

Sorry about that I had the wrong link attached to the button, it should be pointing to Brown Bluff on Wikipedia now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Bluff

The HTML page looks like this...

Code: Select all

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
	<title>EN Location Information</title>
	<style type="text/css" media="screen, print, projection">
	
	body {

	}	
/*

*/	
	img.locsize {
    	position: relative;
    	top: -80px;
    	left: 0px;
    	width: 587px;
    	height: 587px;
		}
/*
* Sets the spacing between lines of text
*/	
	p.lineh { 
		line-height: 110%;
		}
	</style>
	<link href="../styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="vertwrap">

	<div class="vertcontwrap">

The beach, approximately 3 kilometers long, rises to a steep scree slope, which in turn rises to meet the towering rust-colored cliff of volcanic rock that dominates the landscape.</p>
				<p class="lineh">All around you are tens of thousands of Adélie penguins and several hundred Gentoo who also inhabit this region.On the beach under the cliff are large Volcanic tephra that provide nesting homes for the birds.</p>

Thanks Hopki, I always learn so much from your posts and sample files.

In this case the reason I went with the HTML/CSS option was that I have over 80 panoramas that need to be displayed in a format such as the one shown earlier at http://panos.expedition.photography/PON ... rown-Bluff with the multi-language option and the 4 hotspots.

For example here is a shot from the walls of Dubrovnik http://panos.expedition.photography/PON ... vnik-Walls. You can see that the same layouts are used. Rather than change content within the skin I've elected to change it in the includes.

I have a base project that I use and simply change placeholder images, text and video. http://panos.expedition.photography/PON ... -Template/

Once again I'm not sure that this is the optimum way to implement such a project and I'd be interested to hear any alternatives.

That would be very fine. I like the design of your popups.

Great clean, sharp and well lighted imaging.
Really like the tool bar and icon button suite.

Thanks for the show and tell.

Hi Hopki, Dave,

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

It was quite tricky to get everything working on the different devices. I tend to work on a 1,000 x 900 skin grid so I set up a number of layouts, in Indesign, that reflected the grid in relationship to the device. Then I could move and resize objects on the layout and then use the changes to update the skin for the device. Here are a couple of screengrabs.

I have managed (with help) to create an HTML page with the desired content. The HTML page I have in the text field of an information hotspot via the code "<iframe src =" taktilerGebaeudeplan.html "width =" 800 "height =" 1400 ">".

How do I get the popup window now that it automatically scales to the right size?
