Easy Panorama

Description

Easy Panorama plugin for WordPress websites allows you to display wide/panoramic images in a more accessible way: enjoy your panoramic photos scrolling them on the x-axis or moving your mobile device.

You can start embedding your panoramic images using the handy shortcode (TinyMCE editor) or the new Block.

Easy Panorama uses the packed Paver.

Main features

  1. Enqueuing of Paver Javascript and CSS files.
  2. Customization of Paver appearance and behaviour from the Panorama Settings page.
  3. Other geek settings in the Advanced Settings page.
  4. [easy_panorama] shortcode to embed panoramic images with no hassle.
  5. Custom Panorama Block for a better editing experience.

Shortcode (Classic WordPress editor)

Include your favourite panoramic images in posts and pages using the built-in shortcode functionality.

If you are using the classic WordPress editor (TinyMCE), you will find the Add Panorama button above the editor: click on the button and select the image you want to include.
The shortcode will be inserted in the editor and replaced by the panoramic viewer when you visit the website.

You can customize the appearance and behaviour of the panoramic viewer through the Easy Panorama settings page or adding specific attributes to each shortcode: these will override the general settings.

Shortcode attributes cheat sheet:

  • id: attachment/image WordPress id (number)Required
  • url: image url (string)
  • meta: determines whether a metadata overlay should be displayed (boolean)
  • title: image title, showed on overlay in case “Show image meta” (“meta” attribute) is set to true (string)
  • alt: image alternative text, showed on overlay in case “Show image meta” (“meta” attribute) is set to true (string)
  • graceful_failure: allows the display of failure message (boolean)
  • failure_message: this message will appear in mobile devices with no gyroscopic data or no physical orientation support (string)
  • failure_message_insert: the location where the failure message will be inserted (before | after)
  • minimum_overflow: the excess width the picture must have before panoramic viewer kicks in (number)
  • start_position: the start position of the panorama (number from 0 to 1)

Block (Gutenberg editor)

Include your favourite panoramic images in posts and pages using the built-in block functionality.

If you are using the Gutenberg editor (WordPress >= 5.0), you find the Panorama block ready to be embedded in your post.
Search for “Panorama” within the blocks list, select it and choose the image you want to include.
You can customize the appearance and behaviour of each panoramic viewer thanks to the Inspector Control.

Block features

  • Embed your panoramic/wide images in the new editor with no hassle.
  • Preview your panorama within the editor.
  • Customize the appearance and behaviour of each panoramic viewer thanks to the Inspector Control.
  • Transform “Image” blocks into “Panorama” blocks with one click.
  • Transform “Panorama” blocks into “Image” blocks with one click.
  • Transform previous inserted [easy_panorama] shortcodes into “Panorama” blocks with one click.

Per il momento do un quattro stelle perché il plugin è ben fatto, ma la documentazione è un po’ troppo da esperti. Inoltre qualche parametro configurabile direttamente dal plugin sarebbe auspicabile, come disabilitare il giroscopio. Una volta capito però fa il suo dovere egregiamente

Works fine on a desktop (Chrome). SCrolling by mouse, good view with bar on the bottom to indicate where you are in the panorama. On Android (recent version 6) the scrolling is done by device orientation, this means moving/tilting the tablet or phone. And all panorama’s on the page respond to the tilting, not just the one you want. So no wipe/touch support for Android alas. Perhaps acceptable on a phone, unusable as is on a tablet. Such a pity, since it is a simple but adequate panorama viewer.

For me the best and only way to present panoramas, when you want to provide mobile support. With the fullwidth jquery workaround (see support) and the option to style any img inside a div by adding class easy-panorama (very useful with div shortcode) you are enabled to add panorama where ever you want.

Does exactly what it needs to do… a simple implementation of the excellent ‘Paver’ panorama script that provides a simple yet elegant way of showing big panoramas. Simple to implement and use and it just works!
