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

To install, add spree_slider to your Gemfile and run `bundle install`:

gem 'spree_slider', github: 'priviterag/spree_slider'

Then install and run the migrations to add the tables:

bundle exec rake railties:install:migrations

bundle exec rake db:migrate

This extension comes with three sliders plugins: Nivo, SimpleCarousel and Anything slider
Depending on which plugin you want to install, run the following command:

rails generate spree_slider:install_anything

rails generate spree_slider:install_simple_carousel

rails generate spree_slider:install_nivo

The slider is almost unstyled. To customize you have to add your own css and
eventually modify the partial copied into your app folder:
app/views/spree/shared/_slider.html.erb

You may want to theme your site your own way. If you want to include your own library such Bootstrap or Foundation.
Just add your own to your asset pipeline, and update your theme templates with appropriate markup. Example:

<% 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.slide_link) %>
        </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 %>

To add dynamic content, go to the spree admin section, under ‘Configuration’
and find the Spree Slider menu.
