Topic: api.gigapan.org / is there no API anymore

I guess my statistics pages are not quite back to normal. Although I have about 90 public gigapans, my call to the API is returning only 60. The URL I am using is:
h_tp://api.gigapan.org/beta/gigapans/page/1/per_page/100/username/cfastie/most_recent.json?callback=process_json

The “jdata.per_page” variable is apparently coming back equal to 60, even though the URL tries to set it to 100.

This must be due to a change in the way the API works. Is there a way to get all 90 gigapans returned in one page?

Thanks

Topic: General Gigapanning / Godzilla size gigapixel

Hi,

I have a big gigapixel of about 1000 pics.

How can I do to manage it?

The tiff file format only allows 2 gb maximun. So ?

What can I do if I want to correct mistakes in the photo?

Can you please give information about RAW format?

What is my best option?

Thanks
Regards

Topic: Web Site and Forum / 'Galleries' in 'Groups' do not allow adding Gigapans

Upon creation of a ‘Group’ and a ‘Gallery’ for the group, the method of getting ‘Gigapans’ into the created gallery is not obvious.

To add Gigapans to a Groups Gallery, open the Gigapan up, and under the Gigapan will be a button for ‘Groups Galleries’, click on that, and you can add the Gigapan to any groups galleries that you are a member of (you can select which one at this stage)

Hope this helps others, as it took me a week to figure it out.

Topic: Cold-weather Gigapanning / Does it work in cold weather?

Check out nickel-zinc batteries. They are less affected by cold and have a higher voltage than NiMHs.

Topic: Embedding / Embedding, need larger window

It is working.

< iframe src=“h_tp://gigapan.org/gigapans/GIGAPAN_ID/options/nosnapshots,hidetitle/iframe/2.0/flash.html?height=600” frameborder=“0” height=“600” scrolling=“no” width=“100%” >

In this example, the height value is 600, no snapshots, and title is hidden. This uses the new viewer (note “/2.0/” in frame url). To use the old viewer, simply remove “/2.0”.

The height value is entered 2x:
1) flash.html?height=600 to resize the flash viewer
2) height=“600” to resize the iframe

IMPORTANT: The iframe code does not work if you load and view the webpage locally from your computer’s hard drive. The webpage must be uploaded to a server and viewed online.

Options: hidecontrols,nosnapshots,hidetitle (no spaces between options)

To find the GIGAPAN_ID, visit your GigaPan and find it at the end of the URL.

Full screen option is disabled by default when using the iframe method for embedding.

Topic: Embedding / Embedding, need larger window

I think it still doesn’t work like before. I I set the height parameters, it makes the framework bigger, but the height of the gigapan windows remains the same, quite small.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Topic: Embedding / How to embed in wordpress blog

Neither the code generated from the embed wizard (available for embedding your own gigapans) or the code generated by the embed link on a gigapan’s page seem to work at my WordPress site. Most troubling, if that code is added to a post that already has working embedded gigapans, it breaks those. Four out of the last five posts at http://fastie.net/ have gigapans embedded using three different types of code that all work. None of these is the syntax generated by the embed wizard.

Topic: Embedding / FullScreen Option in Embedded

thanks for the replies.

as every1 there is saying, I want a button or a link 2 jump to a full-screen mode,
as panoramas r best to b viewed full screen else its not that enjoyable to view the panoramas at all.

@kevin: thanks for the reply, i did tried that but need the full screen option.

thank you

Topic: Embedding / FullScreen Option in Embedded

The radio buttons are not displayed full screen embedded in the window or not is not from the same source as defined in the navigation bar? .

Topic: Embedding / How to embed in wordpress blog

Has anyone had any problems doing this? I’m a wordpress newbie, but I can embed youtube videos no problem, but the code from gigapan doesn’t seem to work, even though it looks similiar. Is there a widget out there?

Topic: Photo Editors / Freeware

Here’s a list of freeware I’ve used to work on gigapans for those on a budget, feel free to make suggestions.

Gimp – similar to Photoshop, I’ve used it up to 500 megapixel images, not sure about larger sizes.

UFRaw – plugin or standalone for Gimp to edit RAW files. You can set it to automate multiple photos with minimal programming.

Topic: Web Site and Forum / Total Views

Thanks for pointing this out Jason. We’re looking into this and should be able to provide an update to the problem soonish.

Topic: Embedding / Embedding, need larger window

I think (fingers crossed) that all of the iframe embedding formats should work at this point. You should be able to specify the height as a query string argument and have it honored by the rendered iframe.

Topic: Embedding / FullScreen Option in Embedded

The plan is eventually to role out the new AS3 based viewer in the iframe embeds. No real time estimates but I should think soonish (more than a day, less than a year).

Topic: Web Site and Forum / Fewer people viewing Gigapans

I just rechecked and there’s now a dedicated area for Recent Gigapans. We just need to clock on “View” (not one of the options that pops up) scroll down the page a little instead of looking at the top menu bar for a button there’s a section that says Recent Gigapans.

Thanks for doing that.

Topic: Embedding / Embedding, need larger window

In case someone deserves praise for fixing this, thanks very much for fixing the parsing of embedding code. In the last day or two, the embedded gigapans here (http://conservation.townofsalisbury.org/panoram…) began to work again for the first time in a week or two. An example of the embedding code used there is:
“_iframe_src=”h_tp://api.gigapan.org/beta/gigapans/29395/snapshots/102242,109651,109655,102240,109653,102241/options/hidetitle/iframe/flash.html?height=275"
width=“900” height=“387” frameborder=“0” scrolling="no"></iframe"

I am glad I didn’t spend too much time trying to rewrite the code.

Thanks again!

(Is there a better way to include HTML in a post here that does not require intentional misspellings?)

Topic: Web Site and Forum / Total Views

The ‘Total Views’ reported for individual GigaPans, such as this beautiful GigaPan of Everest http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/93839, does not increase (it is currently stuck at 0, yet I have shown this particular GigaPan to multiple people)

Some GigaPans views do seem to increase, but not by much.

GigaPan.org site needs a public bug tracking place rather than littering up this forum, please advise.

Topic: Web Site and Forum / Can't access profile and other observations

Hi William

The URL would not be find-able by Google on its own, but if you put it on an index-able webpage, then it could definitely be found. Perhaps if Gigapan.org added the ‘noindex’ meta tag to the head of private pages, that would prevent this risk.

Topic: Web Site and Forum / Can't access profile and other observations

I’d guess this is a related bug, but my account didn’t automatically upgrade to Plus with image uploads. And although I’m logged in, I can access the page to create a new account. I’d think that page would have a logout requirement for access.

Topic: Web Site and Forum / Can't access profile and other observations

Thanks for the idea, Jason. I’m more concerned about whether the image might be found by search engine bots that could potentially bypass the need to know a complex URL. I have no idea if that’s a legitimate concern or not.

Topic: api.gigapan.org / is there no API anymore

Thanks, everyone for getting this back to normal. My statistics pages are working again. Now all we need is for the statistics to be updated ;)
