Tour Template Options
Here are some options for using video with an Allweboco tour template.
UPDATE 2/6/2006
If you purchased a tour template before 2/6/2006 and you are using video in the tour you may want to download a new "EXAMPLE-tour-video-WIN.zip" that has been re-coded for the Netscape and Firefox browsers.
Using Quicktime video in the tour page:
EXAMPLE: In tour #1 you would like the starting scrolling image to show a Quicktime video instead.
Step #1. Rename or delete the "tour1.htm" inside the "tour_folder-1" to any other name.
Step #2. Rename the "EXAMPLE-tour-video-QT.htm" inside the "tour_folder-1" to "tour1.htm".
Step #3. Place your Quicktime .mov file in the "tour_folder-1" folder.
Step #4. Edit your newly named "tour1.htm" in an HTML editor or Notepad and change "your-video.mov" in 2 places to your .mov file name. Be sure you edit this with your exact .mov file name letter for letter. Also, remember that hosting is case sensitive.
NOTES: You can also use video for any of the other pages or for all of them by making copies of the "EXAMPLE-tour-video-QT.htm" and renaming these copies to "tour1.htm" through "tour5.htm" in the "tour_folder-1" or any of the other tour folders. You may also need to edit the HTML tour pages with your video height and width numbers in some cases.
Using a Windows media video in the tour page:
This should be in most cases a .wmv or .mpg file. EXAMPLE: In tour #1 you would like the starting scrolling image to show a video instead.
Step #1. Rename or delete the "tour1.htm" inside the "tour_folder-1" to any other name.
Step #2. Rename the "EXAMPLE-tour-video-WIN.htm" inside the "tour_folder-1" to "tour1.htm".
Step #3. Place your .wmv or .mpg file in the "tour_folder-1" folder.
Step #4. Edit your newly named "tour1.htm" in an HTML editor or Notepad and change "your-video.mpg" in 2 places to your .wmv or .mpg file name. Be sure you edit this with your exact movie file name letter for letter. Also, remember that hosting is case sensitive.
NOTES: You can also use video for any of the other pages or for all of them by making copies of the "EXAMPLE-tour-video-WIN.htm" and renaming these copies to "tour1.htm" through "tour5.htm" in the "tour_folder-1" or any of the other tour folders. You may also need to edit the HTML tour pages with your video height and width numbers in some cases.
