CoinSlider deactivated?

[Emmo]

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

4. Now drag your new photos from the Bitmap Gallery, or those that you want to replace over the current photos. When the Photos are in the the Bitmap Gallery, those added to the first slide can then be deleted.

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.

Emmo, you have 9 sliders on your website; just tab through your Navbar and you will see they all look very similar. I'm guessing here, but I think the original design idea would have been to have the same header/ slider on each page? They could have been repeated or copied and pasted, but changing one of them will not, as far as I can tell, have changed the others in your design.

I would take your Home slider for starters and check EACH image has the Names applied as suggested by Siran and Acorn (in the above posts). Getting one slider working as expected would be a good start; thereafter there are several different options for keeping them in sync.

Easy to recreate your slider if necessary, with your chosen images, but as you are on v17 there might be an additional step to work around the jQuery upgrade.

This is how it went after looking at the names of the five photos: Slide one my naming. Slide two my renaming plus autorenaming, photoreplace, WTag:Link:Link, WTag:scaled:image, Slide three ditto Slide four just my naming. Slide five ditto. When viewed on line slide four has been slow. The time taken to go to slide one instead of slide five would appear to indicate it is looking for slide five.

I duplicated slide two and added a photo using Replace photo from file. It then showed five slides instead of six with slide six (was five) missing. I deleted slide six and duplicated slide five and added a new photo and that worked.

I have made the slideshow on the index page repeat on all pages. I have tried to load various slideshows in my Pro X11 into a new document. There appear to be several options when pasting it into Pro X17 and the one that works is XarX Doucment as you can see here http://www.pigsear.org.uk/ but only thanks to all your help.

I have moved this to Web Design Chat unless this is not the correct forum.
