Hi everyone,

I'm new to Tourweaver 2.0. I've browsed throught parts of the new user manual but haven't found a particular topic of interest. I'm looking for a way for the viewer to click on a button and have a new window open up and take them to a view of the house on a map such as Google Maps or Yahoo Maps. Does anyone know where I can find script for this? Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Ben

This one drove me crazy, along with a lot of other things in TW. If someone has a different or better way, I am all ears.
Add a text box or graphic to the skin.
Select it.
Click on Actions.
Under Misc, add JavaScript
A java window will pop-up.
Add the code there for the map link. (Java code, I used dreamweaver to generate it)
Go get a book on Java to see why it does not work.
Mess with it a lot.
Read the forum, see that there seems to be something up with TW java, but not really explained....
Mess with it some more.
add "javascript:" to the beginning line (even though you would think TW knows this, it apparently does not)
Go to bed, its been a long day.
Mess with it some more... it finally works. Save the code so you can use it again!

Is there anyplace that explains the use and implementation of Java for TW?

Ben,

See - Post Link

I did something like this, here is a demo tour I was working on a few weeks ago:

DallasMotorSports

Click on the Interactive Google Map link. It opens a new window. I use a version of the following code with the button. under the Properties & Actions area select - Action --> Misc --> Execute Script:

javascript:window.open("http://www.easypano.com",'_blank','status=yes,top=0,left=0,width=640,height=480')

The url http://www.easypano.com should be changed to your page. In my case I had a folder that contain an html file with the google map. See this file here:

http://www.webvisiontours.com/dev/windham/dallasmotorsport/res/map.html

That said - I am not doing this any more because of pop up blockers. It is better to put links to this outside the applet on the html. Such as this example:

Lang Tour Test

I hope this helps.

Another way to do this:
Get your Google/mapquest map up and copy the link.
Go to tinyurl.com
Follow directions on screen.
Copy the tiny url generated, and in TW, use that for the "misc/link to url"
works great
