Overview - Part 3
In Part 3, we will look at Adding a Single Image popup with a Description.
Adding the Hotspot
1. Open the RPGT_Tutorial_Simplex.p2vr project if it’s not already open
2. Set the Viewer window to Hotspot mode and click in the Panorama to set a Point Hotspot
3. With the Point Hotspot active set the following in the Properties - Point Hotspot panel:
Type: URL
Skin-ID: ht_gallery
Title: Australian Nature
Description: (Open the Tutorial files > Nature > Australian Nature.txt file. Copy and add the data contained within the Gallery Description section)
Link Target: 1 (the number of images in the gallery)
Target: nature (used to identify elements in the skin and the name of the gallery folder in the To Upload > images folder ) (figure #1)
Figure #1: Point Hotspot Properties
Note: Images are loaded into the project via the Output > Advanced > Assets panel. It is preconfigured to open files from the To Upload > images folder
4. In the Tutorial files > Nature copy the Nature folder into the To Upload > images folder and rename it ‘nature’
Note: if your image isn’t displaying make sure that the name of the folder in the To Upload matches the name in the hotspot target as it’s case sensitive
5. Remove the .txt file and re-name the Frilled Neck Lizard.jpg to 1.jpg (figure #2)

Set Skin Parameters
Note: There are a number of skin parameters that allow us to do global variations in the project before output. Rather than having to go in and change a variable via the skin we can do it in the Edit Skin Configuration window
1. Open the Edit Skin Configuration window
2. Uncheck the following:
Show Variable Previews (Debug)
3. Check to make sure the Slide Image Type is jpg (no ‘.’) (figure #3)
Figure #3: Setting the Skin Parameters
4. Select ‘OK’
5. Output the project
Note: It should look like the example below
Note: When we mouseover the hotspot we see the name of the Gallery in the tooltip.
Clicking on the icon opens the popup with the title, image and description.
Opening the direct link in an iPad or iPhone we see the responsive popup (Figure #4, 5, 6)
