FM2PTV: Documentation

This documentation is heavily under construction.  For now, you will probably need to be reasonably familiar with FMPro to get any use out of these databases. 

Disclaimer: The documentation may describe features that have not been finished in the current version.

Document Structure

There are 3 files in FM2PTV, the main database and two helper databases for Action parameters and Extension parameters. Star with FM2PTV.fp5.

There is still plenty of work to do in terms of the interface and extra programming. For a sneak preview you can download version 0.95beta here. Some things to note/do:

  • Check fields that are set to Auto Enter data and change them to suit your own preferences
  • Edit the definition of CodeGlobalParameters to put your own custom HTML header in. This will be a separate field in the next version.
  • Edit the Code script to specify an output file
  • The PT Action Generator is not fully functional yet
  • SHotspot definitions are not fully functional yet
  • Pano inits needs a lot of work

Here is a list of Field Definitions. Some of the programming is not exactly pretty but it works.  If you have any suggestions for improving the efficiency of the programming, I'd be happy to look at it.

PTViewer File Locations

This database assumes that the HTML file will be in the same folder as the applet files. If you want to change this you'll have to modify the database yourself as I've made no allowance for specifying a code base.
