July 12 – International Photographers' Day!

Hello dear TourDash resellers! We are glad to congratulate you on your professional holiday – International Photographers’ Day!
Despite the fact that World Photography Day is celebrated annually on 19th of August, there is one more special day for everybody who is indifferent to photography – International Photographers’ Day which is celebrated worlwide today – on 12th of July. This is a perfect opportunity to tell you thank you for your work  one more time and wish each other all the luck!
Today a camera is accessible to everybody, but not everyone possesses the art of photography. You are all great professionals here, people who have a gift of catching instants of life and a talent to capture rare moments in a shot. So this is your day! Enjoy it and share with your collegues making new awesome photographs! 🙂
We are happy to work with such talented photographers as you are! We wish you a lot of success on your professional way and many-many-many good clients! 🙂 Thank you for choosing TourDash!

We want to share results of the research with you and answer some questions that were asked in the last part of the pull. We hope our comments will make everything clear!

If you are interested, please email us request to support@tourdash.com with your requirements and we will send you a proposal for possible solutions.
2. VR – this word appeared in many comments. Currently TourDash does not support VR-headsets, but we understand that VR is a trend today and we’re planning to explore the possibility for integration of VR in TourDash and possibly release VR beta functionality during the coming months.
3. We’ve received a lot of notes about TourDash support. At the moment the average response time of technical support does not exceed 24 hours, and we are constantly improving our working process.

Thank you all again for your answers! Keep in touch!
P.S. From the 15th of June, as it was said in the previous post, we show a banner for all demo tours, which are located not on resellers’ websites.

Important! TourDash demo tours terms and conditions

Hello there! A very important information about TourDash demo tours terms and conditions is presented in this post. Please pay your attention to avoid unintended consequences because of violation.
As you all know, demo tours are not meant for usage on customers’ websites. They are are only meant for usage on resellers’ websites to show the possibilities to their customers.
We have noticed that in some cases resellers have placed demo tours on multiple clients’ websites for long period of time. This clearly is not what demo versions are intended for.
Starting June 15th, all demo tours published not on your own website will show a banner with the following information: “Demo Version For Non Commercial Use Only”. It will of course still allow your customers to see many advantages of TourDash. Please make sure your own website is mentioned in your profile, otherwise demo’s published on your own website will show this message as well.
We believe you understand this measure and are confident it will not influence the positive effect of demo tours on your business.
For all questions please write to support@tourdash.com. Thank you!

Custom colors for your TourDash tour

Do you remember the last winner of “TourDash tour of the month”? In that tour a cool solution of custom colors for the tour elements was used.
In this post we’ll tell you how to use elements custom colors for your tour.
To modify the colors of the elements of the tour you need a little knowledge of HTML and CSS. But even if you don’t know don’t worry, we have prepared ready-to-use snippets of code that you can use in your tour.
To edit TourDash tour CSS-styles, you should have access to the CSS panel. It’s located on a Labs editor tab. If you don’t see such tab, please, write a request to support@tourdash.com and we will include this functionality to your account.
So, first let’s change the background and text color in the navigation menu.  In order to do this copy the following snippet to CSS-panel, and click Apply Styles.
The following snippet will allow us to change the highlight color of the active item in the navigation menu.

So we’ve got such navigation menu:

However, for a complete transformation, we still need to change the popups’ color. Let’s proceed. To begin let’s change popup background color.
Now, popups’ text color and heading color.


Well, now we’ve changed colors of all the main elements of the tour. In conjunction with custom markers for dynamic hotspots and custom fonts you can get a unique design and ambiance for your tour.
