This library is no longer maintained. If anyone finds it useful and wishes to take over, let me know. Otherwise the code will be left here for reference.

Spree Showcase is a simple extension that allows you to create the good ol' slideshow. The goal is to create a slideshow extension that makes things easy for the users and programmers. Minimal effort needed.

The secondary objective is to create a slideshow template that allows most types of JS slider to be implemented easily into Spree.

Currently, this is the first iteration of the slideshow extension at v0.5.2. Contributors are greatly welcomed =)

Next to come:

• Adding sliders to different layout positions
• Enabling more options to be customized in the Admin Menu

Get a clean Spree Installation

rails new spree_demo cd spree_demo spree install

In Gemfile

gem 'spree_showcase' # Ruby Gems

After That

bundle install
rails g spree_showcase:install

Remember to run rake assets:clean, otherwise the javascript library might not be loaded.

Supports Spree 1.1 and 1.3

The default Deface override is automatically added to your Project in

overrides/showcase/add_showcase_to_home_layout

This default override acts to add the Showcase slide show to the main spree_application_home layout, at the top of the #wrapper div.

To change where the slide show appears, simply edit this Deface override in add_showcase_to_home_layout.

For example to add it to a home page at top of div id main-slideshow :

Deface::Override.new(
  :virtual_path => 'spree/home/index',
  :name => 'add_spree_slider_to_home_index',
  :insert_top => "#main-slideshow",
  :partial => "spree/slides/showcase.html.erb"
)

No tests have been done yet. Use at your own risk!
