The bretteleben.de "Panoramic Image Viewer" module for Joomla 1.5 is a simple module to display 360 degree images in module positions. It works with JavaScript, neither flash nor any other player is required.

You decide if the panorama scrolls automatically on pageload or is directed with 2 arrows.

bretteleben.de "Panoramic Image Viewer" Module for Joomla 1.5

The bretteleben.de Panoramic Image Viewer Module works with Joomla 1.5.

The module offers two different modes - with controls or scrolling automatically..
If you activate "Start at pageload" in the backend, the panorama starts scrolling on pageload. If you deactivate the option, beyond the panorama two arrows are shown, the panorama scrolls to the given direction on mouseover.

Features:

- choose if autostart scrolls left or right
- choose between text-links or buttons for control-elements
- link the picture, set an optional linktitle
- choose to open the link in the same or a new window

Installation and Usage

A step by step tutorial on installation and usage can be found at Howto Module .

Demo

The samples at the right show the usage with/without link and with/without control-elements.

Compatibility

The plugin is tested successful with Joomla 1.5.6, 1.5.7 and 1.5.8. Anyway, using it aside with one or another existing plugin/modul/component may bring to light problems i haven't foreseen.
I suggest a test run before using it on a live site and stand by for your questions and suggestions.

As far as JavaScript and CSS are involved, the plugin is tested by now as follows:

Hallo Orientalsieg!

Joomla ist ein CMS (Content Management System).

Näheres zu Joomla erfährst Du bei: www.joomla.org

Näheres zur Administrationsoberfläche und wie man sich in selbige einloggt ebendort.

Sollte die Frage auftauchen, was ein Content Management System ist, den Begriff bei www.google.com eingeben - da findet sich einiges an weiterführender Literatur.

Hallo marioN!

Ob die selbe oder verschiedene Modulpositionen bleibt sich von der Verarbeitung (durch Joomla!)her gleich - und dass mehrere Panoramen an der selben Modulposition funktionieren siehst Du in der rechten Spalte.

hallo! funktionieren 2 module auf 2 unterschiedlichen modulpositionen? jqery wird bereits vom template genutzt. sind hier erfahrungen vorhanden?

danke im voraus für die rückantwort

Hallo Welat!

Eine mögliche Ursache ist, dass der Dateiname/Pfad nicht korrekt angegeben ist. Wenn Du möchtest, poste einen Link zur Seite und ich sehe mir das an.

Hallo allerseits,
ich habe das Modul entsprechend der Anleitung installiert aber es funktioniert nicht. Das Modul zeigt kein Bild sondern "panoramapanoramapanora". Mehr nicht. Kann jemand vielleicht helfen? Was mache ich falsch. Wäre sehr dankbar.

Besten Dank

The panoramic image and 'decentralized, emerging out of the position of the module and then the template. I solved by:
mod_bepiv --> helper
Line 76
----before----
$bepiv_style.=" #bepiv_panorama".$_pn." {position:absolute;width:".$_piv.....

---after---
$bepiv_style.=" #bepiv_panorama".$_pn." {position:relative;width:".$_piv.....

replacing the absolute position from a relative.
I hope this can help others who have had my little problem.

PS. excuse my English, I translated from Italian by google.

Hi Richar!

The Joomla!-way to do this would be to insert a call for a new module-position at the position you want the panorama to appear. Have a look at the forum of the guys, your template is from (if there is one) or just google for "joomla create module position", you will find a lot of useful links. As soon as you created the position, install the Panoramic Image Viewer Module and activate it for this position.

An you can see I gota perfect space to at the very top of the page next to the logo. In the Section drop down options for positioning in Article Mngr, I don't have an option that'd position it up there. Can someone tell me how to put the PIV where I want it? Tks

Hi Hometrik!

The module writes CSS and JavaScript to the head of the page. These informations get usually included into the head of the page with the Joomla! head data. On your page these parts are not present and therefore the module does not work.

The reason for the absence I cannot tell you for sure, but my favorites are A) the extension you use for caching or B) the template.
To proof me wrong or right, just switch the template temporarily (and check) and turn off temporarily your caching-extension (and check again).

Best regards
Andreas
