Vtour template tags
From Open-Realty Wiki
Each tag in the template system looks like this {tag_name}. The following tags are available from the VTour templates.
This template is a little more complex and involved than other Open-Realty templates due to the large amounts of Javascript that are required to make the Virtual Tours, buttons, controls and other features work properly together.
Important VTour Template Details
1: Inside the <body> tag of your template you must include the tag {onload}. This is required for the PTViewer type of VTours to properly initialize.
2: Inside the <head> tag of your template you must include the following tags:
A:{load_js} (required to properly load the Javascript into the page)
B:{license_tag} (required per the Open-Realty license)
3: There are several new configuration options available to control the size of the VTour, the size of the popup window and the initial zoom of the VTours. See VTour Config Settings for details.
In addition to the VTour Template specific tags below, you can also utilize any of the Listing Detail Template Tags. Several of these tags were utilized in the Default VTour Template.
