Davidson College Virtual Tour

Standard version

The standard version of the tour was created using Kolor Panotour Pro. Updating the standard version will require using the Kolor Panotour application to add or edit locations.

The Kolor Panotour application exports the site as a group of HTML files. These are stored in the standard directory.

Accessible Version

The accessible version is generated via the other project files in this repo.

Locations

Each location in the accessible version is found in the _locations directory.

Adding a new location

1. Navigate to the _locations directory
2. Click Add File > Create new file
3. At the top of the page, you will see an input box next to virtual-tour/_locations/. Add the location name, all lowercase, using dashes - instead of spaces. The file extension should be .md. For example: your-new-location.md
4. Copy the template (below) into the new file
5. replace <name> with the name of the location
6. replace <standard_dir> with the directory name from the Kolo Panotour export. For example, pool_11 refers to the [/standard/Indexdata/pool_11](https://github.com/DavidsonCollege/virtual-tour/tree/master/standard/Indexdata/pool_11) directory, this is where the image of the location is found
7. replace <group> with one of the following groups:
   • welcome
   • academics
   • the-arts
   • tthletics
   • student-life
8. replace <order> with the order in which you want the location to show up within the group
9. replace <description> with a location description. You can use Markdown in the description to add headers, links, lists, and other text formatting.
