This is just a quick announcement ahead of the official release of our first WordPress 360 Viewer Plugin. You can download the Beta module now! Or just click the image below.

[March 27, 2013 - New WordPress Integration for WebRotate 360 Product Viewer has been released. Visit this page for more information]

Follow these steps to install the plugin:

• Unzip and copy the webrotate360 folder from the archive to your wordpress/wp-content/plugins folder.
• Login to your wordpress admin and select Plugins on the left.
• Navigate to the webrotate360 row in the Plugin view and select Activate.
• Go to you page or post and you should see there a new section called WebRotate360 Configuration just below the page / post edit box.
• Switch to HTML mode on the page / post edit box and choose the right location for your 360 view within your layout, and add an empty <div> element with the id being webrotate360, and then style the div accordingly (width, height, borders, etc). You can use the following sample for a quick test: <div id="webrotate360" style="width:600px; height: 450px; border: 1px dotted #cecfd2; position: static"></div>
• Navigate to that WebRotate360 Configuration section below the post and enter a full URL path to webrotate360 viewer configuration XML file on your server that you would need to upload to your server by copying 360_assets folder that SpotEditor creates during publishing. The field looks as follows on our (local) server for a test 360 view: http://localhost:8080/wordpress/360_assets/sample/config.xml
• Publish or update the post / page and the viewer should show up inside this div you added in the HTML view.

There's one limitation at the moment that is mainly applicable to posts (not pages) in that you can't have more than one 360 view at any time on the same page (like in the blog view with multiple full posts on the same page one after another).

Our official extension for Magento e-commerce just got approved and is now featured on Magento Connect. This is great news as it makes it so simple to integrate our 360 product viewers with Magento powered ecommerce stores. Although the integration code has been available for a while now (read our press release) it was still quite painful to install without the ease of Magento Connect. Now getting and enabling the extension practically excludes any manual, error-prone mangling with the xml files and php code. And best of all, we made the configuration of the product viewer a breeze with a simple Settings tab that lets you configure the viewer in couple of simple steps while having the flexibility to enable it on per product basis.

Checkout these screenshots with our sample 360 product viewer and the configuration options running on our test Magento store or visit our extension page on Magento Connect that has installation and usage details.

We are looking forward to further growth of Magento platform and will continue providing our clients with the same peace of mind and without the technical limitations.
