Can any one help? your advice is much appreciated!

Please help!!!

Resolved! I uninstalled Anywhere Sliders plugin and re-installed it.

Thanks!

Hi ictenable,

Glad you fixed this.
Sorry for the late reply as it is the Easter holidays here.
It might have been some security issue. Please let us know if you have any issues.

Thanks

I had the same problem, and I don't think it is a permissions issue. It happened when I deleted a duplicate image I had inserted into the slider... Uninstalling and reinstalling isn't a real solution to this problem. It blows out all your sliders, and then you have to put them all back in. God forbid you don't have the original image files somewhere, because if you don't you will have to create them all over again.

Check out the first line in the error:
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: picture at Nop.Services.Media.PictureService.LoadPictureBinary(Picture picture, Boolean fromDb)

There is a null reference there. Obviously something was orphaned in the DB. Uninstalling the sliders blows out the tables. Otherwise, your sliders would come back when you reinstall...

Maybe you should look a little further into this one?

Hi pctech,

You are absolutely right. There were a problem with the sliders when you insert a duplicate image and delete it. We have fixed it in our 3.0 release.

Thanks.
