Wowslider Program not working with Premium 10

[skippastep]

Anyone having issue getting wowsliders to work in Xara premium version 10? It works in ver9, but I can't get it to work in 10. It shows only a static image. I am looking to add a very simple slide show that fades with no navigation or buttons. I tried the nivo in Xara 10, but it has the rectangle and text caption at the bottom that I can't figure out how to delete without breaking the slide show. I would like to use wowslider with the flexibility and options, but not sure what I'm doing wrong (not too mention I paid for the software)?

This is the advice I received from Xara Tech

I WD version 10, edit the placeholder, HTML body and change

<div id="show" class="slideshow ">

To

<div id="show" class="slideshow 'xr_noreset'">

Give it a try and let us know if it works.

Thank you so much for your help! I am really clueless on coding lingo so I apologize.... I looked at the code in the body of the placeholder and didn't see that exact same code you listed to replace. Below is my code. Would you be able to help me figure out which lines need to be fixed?

<!-- Start WOWSlider.com BODY section -->
<div id="wowslider-container1">
<div class="ws_images"><ul>
<li><img src="data1/images/itsaboutcadence.jpg" alt="its-about-cadence" title="its-about-cadence" id="wows1_0"/></li>
<li><img src="data1/images/bekind.jpg" alt="be-kind" title="be-kind" id="wows1_1"/></li>

Hi
You can edit Nivo
Click the Nivo widget to edit then in the Pages and layers gallery - top right hand corner, click the symbol of locks to enable editing.
Open the layers - unlock as necessary - and you'll be able to remove any of the elements.
Hope this helps. It works...

@frightful - The member is not referring to the Nivo slider but this is good info to know. Thanks.

@skippastep - Check back. I know nothing about coding either. Let me try to get someone at Xara to have a look at this thread.

Hi,

In your code where it says: <div id="wowslider-container1">

Change this to: <div id="wowslider-container1" class="slideshow 'xr_noreset'">

And it should work

Thanks
Rob

You guys ROCK! It's working now!! Thanks for the tip frightful! I will keep this handy and try it out on my next project. Thanks again everyone for being so helpful and quick to reply.

Rob - I wonder if this should be a new thread. There are a number of applications that work like WowSlider (I use cu3ox and Visual Slide Show and these both require the change in code). I am sure others have similar situations.

Can do, I leave the organising of the forums and threads in your very capable hands

Why can't these fixes be issued in the way of an update to the program?
