XML Configuration

What is XML?

XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language, designed to transport and store data. If you aren’t familiar with XML, check the following links and get introduced to it:

XML with CU3ER

Settings and the content of the CU3ER are defined in XML file. This file is required in order to make the application work properly.

All features of the CU3ER are represented in XML as separate nodes. Simply including/excluding these nodes will enable/disable respective features. Check XML Reference for additional information about nodes default settings and options.

An XML structure is as simple as it gets - all global settings are defined in the <settings> node, slides & transitions in the <slides> node. You can override some of the global settings, and apply a custom configuration (for example, for 3D transition).

CU3ER can run without any settings (for defined slides only), but you are friendly advised to put just a little effort to configure it ... you will be amazed with the results!

Take a look at the following overview of the rudimental XML structure, which is given just as a guideline:

<cu3er> 
    <settings> 
    ....
    </settings>
    <slides>
    ....
    </slides>
</cu3er> 

In order to keep this image slider as user-friendly as possible, a large number of settings are defined as XML attributes. Including the attributes and altering their values will provide the possibility to apply custom settings.
