Hello, Karl.

Although I have both a Title and Description assigned to THIS panorama image, only the Title is displayed.

As a work-around for now, for THIS OTHER panorama image, what I did was add a description to the Title line, using <span class="mybreak"> to separate the title & description, as follows:
I don't actually have the code above in the Title on separate lines as displayed above... the above is only for clarity for you to see what I've done... for my Title, everything's on 1 single line  :relaxed:.

Note that I have 2 mybreaks in the above code, trying to force 2 linebreaks, but only 1 linebreak is implemented.  The single linebreaks work great for many of my folder titles on most of my X3 sites, and seem to work fine here for the panoramas too, except here just 1 linebreak is recognized.  What I did, as a work-around for now :sunglasses:, is to separate the 2 mybreaks with a space, as follows: Question 1:  My first question is, is there a way that Description can also be displayed over Panorama images, similar to how Title is displayed?

Question 2:  If not, is there a way that I can force 2 linefeeds in these situations?  Possibly I will require a 2nd Custom CSS for the 2 linebreaks?  My current one, for 1 linebreak, is: Question 3:  I have added map coordinates to a couple of my panorama images (including the Panaroma image in the 2nd link above), but the map buttons are not displayed.  Are map buttons something that cannot be included with panorama images?

Question 4:  What is the purpose for, and is it normal for, the Title displayed over Panorama images to be displayed as a hyperlink?  Clicking on the Title/hyperlink doesn't seem to do anything.

Thank you in advance & have yourself a great day.

Regards,
John

I could perhaps look into some CSS fixes that allows the text to WRAP onto multiple lines. I can't vouch that this is a great idea, but it should be ok. You don't need to force "line breaks" ... I just think we need to remove the CSS that forces elements on the title to remain on the same line.

No need to do this, now that I know the way it's supposed to work.  Thanks anyway.

For some reason, there is an error when clicking the caption. I will need to look into it tomorrow.

Thanks for looking into this for me.  I believe my panorama images are what is causing the problem.  I temporarily copied the 3 sample  panorama pictures from my site's |examples|plugins|panorama folder to a test folder on my site, and their captions work correctly when they're clicked on.  So, something in my panorama pictures is preventing the problem when they're clicked on, but I know nothing about panorama images & therefore have no idea what could be causing this problem.

Thanks in advance for anything that you can find.

It's not that the images in the test folder work but not the other folders.  It's the 2 images from your default Examples folder that work.

I also copied 2 of the images from your Examples folder to this location HERE, so they are now in the same folder as my panorama image that does not work.

As requested, I removed all the html coding from the title, and my image simply has Test for the title, and no Description.

So, of the 3 images that are in the same folder, my image does not display anything when the title is clicked, but your 2 example images that come with X3 do display the popup when the title is clicked.

So it can't be the folder that they're in, and instead there must be something with my panorama images that are causing the problem.  I wouldn't think that it's encryption, as they display fine, etc.  It's just that clicking the title hyperlink that does nothing.

Is it maybe that for my panorama images, I have nothing in the Parameters fields?

I tried a few methods by installing software & also online to remove the meta data, but no luck.

How do I do it in X3, during the resize/compress process?  I unchecked both "Copy ICC color profile" and "Store image settings in image as IPTC", but still no luck.

Thank you, Karl, I downloaded the file that you stripped the data from, and it worked perfectly.

As I don't use a Mac, I found a website that strips Meta data for people online, and once I ran each of my panorama images through their website to strip all Exif data, I am now able to click on each image title to successfully display their respective overlay.

There's no doubt lots of such websites out there, but in case anyone needs to strip Exif data for images on their X3 site, the one that I found & used is VerExif

Thank you again, Karl, for discovering what was causing my problem.
