[EN]

This plugin creates a compass like graphic that allows us to show the viewer in what direction he’s facing at all times by adding a bar in a position you choose. It’s fully customizable, you can create and add your own bar using either The Flash IDE or Photoshop.

This plugin let’s you customize the way it looks using either a flash file (.swf) based on the template provided, or a normal image file (png format recomended).

How to use it:


    
        layer_17 = files/hotspots.swf
        layer_20 = files/FPPCompass.swf
        panoName = images/panoramaFile
        

    
        skinmode = swf
        skincompass = files/FPPC_gogostyle.swf
        roffset = 5
        yoffset

Parameters description:

skinmode=[swf|bmp]

determines wether we want to use a single swf based in the template provided or two images (default is swf)
When set to swf allows for vector (high quality/small size), and loading of a single skin file, requires the Flash IDE (CS3/CS4/CS5) to edit the provided template, no limit in width size. Enables the swfskin parameter.

When set to bmp allows the use of a BitMap file (high quality/big size), must load two files, requires a image editor, limited to a width of 2800 pixels. Enables the skinbackground and skinline parameters

Almost a year has gone since the last update but as promised I haven’t given up on this.

Now with 100% more Event Tracking

FPP:Analytics

admin — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 23:07:22 +0000

Google Analytics

Ever wished you could tell what method of navigation your visitors use the most on your panorama?

Which is the most visited panorama of your multi-node tour?

Which hotspots did the visitor click?

How many visitors switch to fullscreen?

Well now you can! With FPP:Analytics it’s easy to discover what your visitors are doing inside your tours.

Until now we could only see how many visitors we had but not their behaviour. FPPAnalytics is a Flash Panorama Player plugin that enables the Google Analytics tracking service to analyse the behavior of our visitors in our tours. It tracks the filename of your panorama the moment it’s loaded and it appends a base tour name so you can group tour clicks easily. You also can track clicks in your hotspots, menu buttons etc.

Fully customizable from your main XML.

Developers notes: “I developed this plugin because I nedded this kind of functionality for my own projects. This project won’t stop being developed (an update is already in test phase to implement Goal tracking).” Here’s the Google Analytics page for Demo Page:

Panarama tours usage

Demo: 2 node tour with trackable hotspot DEMO

(use Flash Tracer plugin to see feedback)

Price: 10€

How to use it:

- first you need a Google Analytics account (if you’re new to this service follow their tutorials, they’re really good)

- after setting up your Google Analytics account you’ll get a Web Property ID (something like UA-######-#)

- now setup FPPAnalytics like any other plugin in FPP (replace the UA-######-# with your own Web Property ID):


        layer_20 = hotspots.swf
        layer_30  = fppanalytics.swf
        panoName = images/panoramaFile

        webid = UA-######-#
        debug = false
        baseName = FPP Analytics Demo
        folderMask = images/

- and you’re good to go. To verify if the plugin is working you should install the Flash Tracer Firefox Add-On and take a look at the trace statements as the analytics service can take up to 24H to reflect your clicks.

Parameters (if you don’t include a parameter it will revert to the default value):

webid – your Web Property ID provided by Google. If you don’t add this parameter no tracking will be done.

debug – if set to true FPPAnalytics won’t send the information to Google but will give you an alert box with what it would track (usefull if you don’t have the FlashTracer Firefox AddOn, Default is FALSE)

baseName – it’ the name of the actual tour, the name you wish to goup all the panoramas under. Default is FPPTour.

folderMask – If your panoramas are inside a folder but you don’t wish to have it in the name that gets tracked. Default is NULL or no masking will be done.

External call:

external.fppanalytics.trackHS=String to identify this click

Use this method to call the FPPAnalytics functionality from any kind of hotspots, The string will be added to the end of the current panorama loaded so we know what was the active file when the user clicked the hotspot.
