In 7.x-3.0 of Panels the slideshow shell loads, but but none of the images load (just get a spinning wheel and a white background -- no navigation or anything). It loads just fine on all other pages. Is it possible to use the module in Panels?

I've just come across the same issue. Nivo doesn't work as a block in a panel.

Nivo Slider currently requires a specific block ID in order to properly initialize the slider. Panels doesn't seem to render block content through block.tpl.php, so the required block ID is never generated, causing Nivo Slider to fail.

The attached patch should make Nivo Slider work in a variety of environments where it would previously fail (such as themes which used a non-standard method of generating block IDs).

The only thing that Nivo Slider still doesn't support is the display of multiple sliders on the same page (which is by design).

This could use a more prominent mention, as it does extend beyond panels.

The Slider does not work while sub-theme'ing fusion, but switching to the dev release (with the above mentioned patch), fixes it instantly.

A note or link in a more visible place might save others some headaches.

I agree that this fix should be promoted, so I have rolled a new stable release of Nivo Slider.
