Hotspot placer plugin (Wordpress)

“Hotspot placer” plugin for Wordpress – Project description + Supporting illustrations 1. LINKING A BLOG POST TO AN AREA IN AN IMAGE ON SITE X Through the plugin the blogger should be able to link a blog post that he/she has written, to a predefined area (hotspot) in an image that is stored on an external site (called “site X” in this description). The image size can require zooming features in order for the user to view all hotspots or to add hotspots in the image correctly. a) The blogger clicks on a “link-to-image button” under the blog post (similar to the Facebook/Twitter share button). This “link-to-image button” is only visible for the blogger himself/herself. b) By clicking the “link-to-image” button a list is made visible (overlay). The list contains image titles from which the blogger can choose one image title. These image titles are public, i.e. shared/accessible by all that use the plugin. c) When an image title has been chosen, an image (overlay) is shown with predefined hotspots (i.e. pointer sensitive areas in the image). The user can now choose one of the hotspots that exist in the image 2. UPLOADING A NEW IMAGE AND ADDING HOTSPOTS IN THE IMAGE Through the plugin the user should be able to add an own title + image to the list: a) The blogger should be able to upload an image and give it a title, then b) add hotspots (i.e. pointer sensitive areas) and assign a name to each and every hotspots, by placing the cursor in the image where he/she would like to place the hotspot 3. SHOWING IMAGE & ITS LINKED BLOG POSTS IN THE BLOGGER’S OWN BLOG The user should be able to embed the above mentioned image in her/his blog. a) The specific image is chosen from the image title list. If the user has connected blog posts to a specific image the image title in the list is highlighted b) After having chosen the specific image title it will be visible for visitors of the blog. Only the blog posts of the specific blogger are to be shown. When hovering over a hotspot the visitors can see the name of that specific hotspot. c) The visitors can press a hotspot in order to see the blogger’s blog posts that have been linked to the specific hotspot. 4. SHOWING IMAGE & ITS LINKED BLOG POSTS OF ALL BLOGGERS AT SITE X On the external site X (controlled by us), visitors can choose an image title in order to view the image and all blog posts from all bloggers that have linked posts to the hotspots in the image
