This is not officially documented yet, but to enable hotspots again, simply goto the Imagevue admin -> config, and at the bottom of the config page attributes -> image, add the following line:
That will allow you to add hotspots for images from the admin. For example, adding two hotspots to an image:
The code above creates 2 hotspots. The first hotspot starts at coordinates x=50 and y=50 and is 50 pixels in width and height. The second hotspot starts at coordinates x=130 and y=130 and is 100 pixels in width and height.
Also remember the hotspot configuration in the theme config at the very end.
Code
hotspot_coordinates,hotspot_urlCode
hotspot_coordinates:
50,50,50,50,130,130,100,100
{x1,y1,w1,h1,x2,y2,w2,h2}
hotspot_url:
url1,url2
{url1,url2}Also remember the hotspot configuration in the theme config at the very end.
Hotspots allows you to create "hotspots" over an image.
For example, you have an image with 3 different cars, and you want to create a link to individual pages when user clicks any of the three cars. You then create hotspots based on coordinates, and 3 semi-opaque squares will display over the cars when rolling over image. Clicking any of these boxes, will take user to a specific link ...
The result is pretty much identical to using hotspots on images in html if you are familiar with that.

Yes - I just checked ... Irfanview does a good job of this. Just open an image, and drag a square of the area you want to select. After releasing mouse button, you will get the details in the header ... It will say something like:fishnick wrote:Is there a freeware tool using which you can easily find coordinates of a required hotspot over a particular image?
(Selection: 231, 103; 96 x 104; 0.923)
which basically means:
(Selection: x1, y1; width x height; aspect)
So you can just fill in those 4 values as hotspot coordinates in Imagevue =)

Please explain...
I'm sorry, but I feel as though I got directions to get somewhere, but the references are not clear to me. For example: I have no idea of where you are telling us to go in this statement below.
So, if you would be so kind, please be a bit more complete in your explanation.
Thanks.
I thought is was perhaps a file in the directory structure ../imagevue/admin and the file was called "config". The extension was omitted, but I thought perhaps it was close enough for me to find it... perhaps and xml file. But, there is no file like that in there, so I have no idea if I'm close or not or my installation has another issue.mjau-mjau wrote:This is not officially documented yet, but to enable hotspots again, simply goto the Imagevue admin -> config, and at the bottom of the config page attributes -> image, add the following line:That will allow you to add hotspots for images...Codehotspot_coordinates,hotspot_url

Thanks,
Okay, thanks. Boy was I way off.pain wrote:Imagevue Admin > Settings (it was named Config prior to the last release)
Apparently this capability is for pictures. I was hoping to use it for areas of the screen such as the background.
Any ideas on this?
