CoinSlider deactivated?

[Emmo]

Thanks Gary. I have tried dropping the widget onto my page but without success. I need to spend more time on it.

Acorn: You are right I am out of cover. I have updated my TG record. I tried to link my assets to V11 and they wanted me to create an index but when I did they couldn't find any suitable files to add to the index for the specified folder. I have tried to open v11, add the slider then copy & paste to v17 and do the assembly there but so far without any luck. I will keep trying.

Emmo, I can see the slider working on your site, but it is searching for a missing image. As you only have 4/5 slides; just add the slides to a Xara file in the order you want them to appear and I will check them here for you.

Gary, I have edited the coinslider file and although there are five pictures only four appear when updated or previewing the current web page. I even deleted two pictures (one and four) and replaced them but only one is saved.

Emmo, OK some questions and a suggestion: I am assuming we are talking about the slider on your Home page and not the same format Tile Slideshow 2 sliders you have on the other tabs such as Pub News? The other sliders seem to be working correctly?

1. If true, you have at least one other copy of the v17 Tile Slideshow 2 that works?

2. If true, copy and paste one your working Tile Slideshow 2 widgets to a separate document and check that it works as expected.

3. If true, copy and paste your new photos to the first slide in the widget; they will then be in the Bitmap gallery; if true just delete them from the first slide (don't bother with add and replace photos options).

4. Now drag your new photos from the Bitmap Gallery, or those that you want to replace over the current photos.

5. Preview to check that is what you were expecting to see.

6. If true, delete the Tile Slideshow 2 widget from the Home page and (copy) and paste the widget from your new Xara document.

7. All should be well, but should all this fail to work correctly, just post a reply with the images in a Xara document here, together with the offending widget.

Footnote:
(i) Xara switched to using jQuery 3.6 when it released Pro v18.0, so I doubt my version of the v18 widget will work in v17 without separately loading JQuery3.6.
(ii) Where you see coinSliderNonav_v8_nn in the tab, 'nn' is not a version number - rather strangely it refers to each time you add or copy the widget into a document when it increments 'nn'+1

Emmo, edited step 3.

To me it looks as if you might have lost the names at the image inside of the widget. Edit the widget, select the image that is not displaying and open the names dialog. It should look like this:

Well spotted siran.

I wasn't aware of any coinslider other than the one on the index page. I have tried copying the one on the Pub News page to a new document and changing all the photos via Add Photo but when viewed all I get is the first photo.

Emmo, just assume you have mangled the settings at some point.

Open the Widget,
Click open Utilities > Names.
Now Ctrl+click on all of your images.
If the Names do not appear as siron has flagged ten you need to click on the Apply name dropdown, pick any of the missing parameters and then click the Add button.
Restore all the missing parameters.
Click the Widget and save when asked.

As it is only 5 images, upload them here and one of use will build a new drop-in replacement.
