Set URL Parameters

Yaniv Navon
  • Updated

Certain TerraExplorer Fusion parameters can be defined from the URL query string, including the start position, project, start presentation, CSS file, language, token, and startup script.

To define these parameters:

Append the required parameters to the end of your TerraExplorer Fusion URL. Multiple parameters can be added using a ‘&’ to separate between parameters (e.g., 
https://cloud.skylineglobe.com/sg/TEF/te.html?project=https://cloud.skylineglobe.com/SG/demos/projects/Mexico_Beach_Emergency_Response&position=-77.038,35.105,443.38,311.002,-40.0,MyStartPos,14&presentation=Presentation\\%20Mexico%20Beach&presentationPlay=1

  • Project – Open a specific project in TerraExplorer Fusion with all its layers. The format is as follows: 
    project=[URL of project on SGS]

    E.g., 
    project=https://cloud.skylineglobe.com/SG/demos/projects/Mexico_Beach_Emergency_Response
  • Start position – The position of the camera in which the project should start. The position object is dynamically added to the project and is not saved. The format is as follows:
    position=[Lon],[Lat],[Altitude],[Distance],[Yaw],[Pitch],[Name],[Type]
    Where:
    • Lon - Position's longitude. For planar projects, use X/Y instead of lon/lat.
    • Lat - Position's latitude. For planar projects, use X/Y instead of lon/lat.
    • Altitude - Position's altitude.
    • Distance - Distance between the camera and the specified position.
    • Yaw - Position's yaw.
    • Pitch - Position's pitch.
    • Name - Name assigned to the start position. 
    • Type - Defines the activation action for the start position. The options are either  0 – Fly to OR 14 – Jump to.             
position=-77.038,35.105,443.38,311.002,-40.0,MyStartPos,14
  • Open presentation – Open a specific presentation when the project is opened and display the presentation controls. The full path name of the presentation in the Project Tree should be passed. E.g., if a presentation named “Miami Beach” is under the Florida group in the Project Tree, the format is: “presentation=Florida/Miami Beach.” Note that the presentation will not start to play unless the presentationPlay parameter (below) is included and set to 1. The format is as follows:
    presentation=[Name]

    E.g., 
    presentation=Presentation\\Mexico Beach
  • presentationPlay – Activation code that sets whether the presentation passed in the URL parameter above will automatically start playing. Set this parameter to 1 to auto-play the presentation. The format is as follows:
    presentationPlay=[1/0]

    E.g., 
    presentationPlay=1
  • Language – To localize your TerraExplorer Fusion, contact us at support@skylinesoft.com 
  • Configuration – The name of the TerraExplorer Fusion configuration that should be opened. The configuration defines various elements of your TerraExplorer Fusion including access token, custom CSS, language, and startup script. Customized configurations are created in the TerraExplorer Fusion Settings section of the Settings page. If the settings defined in the configuration file conflict with those defined by the URL parameters, generally the URL parameter settings take precedence. More about: Creating Additional Customized Configurations > The format is as follows:
    config=[ConfigName]

    E.g., 
    config=KB_ConfigurationExample
  • Custom style sheet – The CSS file that should be applied to set certain default styling and visibility settings of the default CSS's GUI elements in the application. The name of the CSS file should be passed without the css extension or the folder name. The CSS file must be located under the application files' "./custom folder".
    For examples of some of the properties that can be customized in the CSS, see the custom.css file that is under the application files' "./custom folder". Note that the custom.css file is always loaded, so if you want to make style customizations that will be seen by all users, simply edit this file. The css URL parameter is used when you have multiple style sheets, and want to apply a particular one. The format is as follows:
    css=[NameOfCSSFile]

    E.g., 
    css=sampleCustomizedGUI
  • Startup script – The custom JavaScript code that runs automatically when user opens TerraExplorer Fusion. This script can include custom tools. The name of the script file should be passed with the .js extension. The startup script must be saved under the "./Custom" folder. The blank default startup script file that is included in your "./Custom" folder can be used. The format is as follows: 
    script=[NameOfScriptFile]

    E.g., 
    script=myscript.js
  • Token – An access token enables a user to directly access SGS layers without logging in to SGS. This security option is available only to “Viewer” level users and allows accessing (read/write) data, but no publishing or administration options. The token is generated in SkylineGlobe Manager. More about: Using tokens >. The format is as follows: 
    token=[Token]

    E.g., 
    token=13ccec69e6dc4cfd88828db25609dc7c
