SpreeSlider

Add a slider to the homepage of your Spree site, and manage the slideshow from within the Admin panel.

Installation

1. Add this extension to your Gemfile with this line:

Spree >= 3.1

gem 'spree_slider', github: 'spree-contrib/spree_slider'

Spree 3.0 and Spree 2.x

gem 'spree_slider', github: 'spree-contrib/spree_slider', branch: 'X-X-stable'

The branch option is important: it must match the version of Spree you're using. For example, use 3-0-stable if you're using Spree 3-0-stable or any 3.0.x version.

2. Install the gem using Bundler:

bundle install

3. Copy & run migrations

bundle exec rake railties:install:migrations
bundle exec rake db:migrate

4. Restart your server

If your server was running, restart it so that it can find the assets properly.

Using the slider

Spree 3 uses the bootstrap framework and a default slider template is available for bootstrap 3 spree/shared/_slider.html.erb.

Example usage:

  <%= render partial: 'spree/shared/slider', locals: { slider: Spree::Slide.published, cid: 'home', interval: false } %>

If you desire to have a customized carousel template you can specify your own like so:

<% if Spree::Slide.published.count > 0 %>
  <section id="slideshow">
    <ul class="slide">
      <% Spree::Slide.published.order('position ASC').each do |s| %>
        <li>
          <h1><%= s.slide_name %></h1>
          <%= link_to image_tag(s.slide_image.url), url_for(s.link_url) %>
        </li>
      <% end %>
    </ul>
    <a title="<%= t(:previous) %>" class="slider-prev"><%= t(:previous)%></a>
    <a title="<%= t(:next) %>" class="slider-next"><%= t(:next) %></a>
  </section>
<% end %>

Dynamic content management

To add dynamic content, go to the spree admin section, under 'Configuration' and find the Spree Slider & Spree Slider Locations menu.

You can create new slides and new locations. Then to fetch & render the slider for a particular location you can do the following:

  <% slides = Spree::Slide.published.location("home") %>
  <%= render partial: 'spree/shared/slider', locals: { slider: slides } %>

spree_slider's Issues

index Deface override puts in strange place

With the default Deface override for the home index page the slider gets inserted weirdly into the navigation bar which is not right. It's caused by a content_for that seems to be unnecessary.

Bug 'body' is not including in the spree slide model but it's using in admin/slides/_form.html.erb

undefined method `body' for #Spree::Slide:0x00007f964be37838
Showing /gems/spree_slider/app/views/spree/admin/slides/_form.html.erb where line #46 raised:

undefined method `body' for #Spree::Slide:0x00007f964be37838

Slide body never shown

In the _slide partial the body is never shown because the if statement is backwards; it should be an unless.

Remove support for options other than 'roll your own'?

This repo was moved to spree-contrib based on priviterag/spree_slider#12

Early in that thread, @JDutil mentions he thinks this extension should only support rolling your own slider. I'd agree. There's potentially infinite ways to roll your own, and it's relatively easy. The integration of a means to add / edit slides with the Spree admin area is the harder / unique feature that this plugin offers.

If we're agreed it's a good approach to remove support for other sliders, I'm happy to do that and submit a PR. Thoughts?

AWS S3 File Storage Configuration

When using on a Heroku deployed setup with AWS for file storage, is there a way to configure the slider to use the same settings as my spree store and upload the slide images to AWS S3 bucket.

If there is a way please document.

Rails 5 Migrate error

In rails 5 i need to edit the migrations and add [5.0] in class to work fine.

Not products has been loaded into Slides form

On Spree 4.2 it's correct hidden_field_tag in slides form to get products?

<%= f.field_container :product_id do %> <%= label_tag :product_id, t(:product) %>
<%= hidden_field_tag 'slide[product_id]', f.object.product_id.to_s, class: "product_picker fullwidth" %> <% end %>

Bullets navigation is broken

We can cycle through the carousel items using arrows, but bullets navigation has no effect.

Not compatible with spree 4.1 spree_auth_devise 4.1.

Slide name and link broken for product slides.

When a slide is of a product it should link to the product and use it's title, but it doesn't.

The _slide partial is using the direct fields name and link_url whereas it should be using slide_name and slide_url.

I can PR this too.

Change image size

How i change image width in the slide? I need that image fills the entire slider, not the slider fills the entire image.
Thanks
Sorry for my English.

Bullets and arrows - not showing up in production - deployed via capistrano

In production - not found the resources loading.gif, bullets.png, arrows.png. Any idea what it may be wrong?

Installing spree_slider

Hello everyone,
Well, when I try to run the bundle install appears some error messages about spree version:

"Could not find gem 'spree_backend (~> 3.2.0.alpha)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile or available on this machine."

Of course that i'm not using 3.2.0.alpha version (i'm using 3.1.0.rc3), but i want to run spree_slider with spree 3.1.0.rc3. How do i do that?

Regards

undefined local variable or method `slider'

With a relatively fresh Spree 3.0 and slider install I get this error on the homepage.

undefined local variable or method `slider'

It's coming from the _slider partial because in the default Deface override the local variable slider isn't passed in as the Readme suggests.

Overriding the override fixed it, but it would be better if it works out of the box.

Either the partial should check for the slider variable, or the override should pass it in.
