Ok, here it is:

Go to http://www.vtstar.com (http://www.vtstar.com/)
Register yourself in the system.
Your account has to be validated in order to be functional. I validate accounts manual. Why? Still checking the system…

I’m in the GMT-8 Time Zone (US Pacific Time)
The VTPS Support forum is also open for thoughts, bugs and anything related to VTPS

Another template, much lighter, pure CSS based (cool eh?) has been made available for the Virtual Tours. You can try the new look by publishing a new Virtual Tours OR by editing of an already published one. Yes, Templates can be changed on the fly.

All feedbacks are greatly appreciated.



The “novelty feedback” banner present all across the application gives a much easy way to report bugs or share impressions.

Doesn't seem to support firefox as the plugin finder thing failed.

well, you need to have Java installed. Firefox is kinda lame in managing Java stuff, thats not my fault and i'm dissapointed by this myself too. With java installed, tours display well in FF to.

Other VT technologies will be adopted and supported in VTPS in the near future,

Got sun java installed and it kicks on on some other sites. I guess there is a different issue.

Does it work with Internet Explorer? Java is not the best friend on FF, but it worked on all machines I did the test. What I noticed is that it has a slight delay before loading PTViewer applet, cant understand why, but it loads after 1,2 seconds, and works. I am 100% its a FF issue. Opera works too, Safari and Netscape, no problems

I have other news (not browser related) :rolleyes:

Until now, the Virtual Tour templates were general. I had two templates there, for everybody to test with.

I just added the user based templates support. General Templates will be still available and their number will increase as soon as I will have more time designing them (feel free to share any templates for this purpose). The users can have own designed templates, which only they can use. The user templates are in the same list as where the templates are.

I described the template protocol on one thread in the vtps support forum.

Other news:

1) the comercial support is almost done. I mean, you will be able to bill your customers for the VTours published, let them login to check balance, do limited editing in the tours (change scene order the same way you can, change Scene labels, make them visible/invisible)

2) QT support to come soon
