Nivo Slider Rails

What am I

Rails engine that supplies administration of slides and view helpers for the nivo slider jQuery plugin.

My Dependancies

paperclip
haml
jquery-rails

Install Me

Add this to your Gemfile

gem 'nivo', :git => "git://github.com/hificreative/nivo.git"

run

bundle

then

rails g nivo:install

This will create the necessary migrations and copy the nivo_config.yml to the config directory.

If jquery is not installed run

rails g jquery:install

Use Me

The following view helpers are shown in haml.

Edit the nivo_config.yml to your liking. Then after you run rake db:migrate add this to your application layout

= show_slider?

and insert

= yield(:js)

after the closing body tag.

On each view you would like the slider to be visible insert

- slider

if the variable slider is set, show_slider? will render the slideshow partial and include the stylesheets and javascripts required by Nivo Slider.

To add slides

navigate to nivo/slides

My Extras

We hate engines that you can't customize. With that in mind, there are 3 more generators available.

nivo:views
nivo:controller
nivo:stylesheet

Do I need to explain what these do?

ToDo

• js include tag view helper
