Hi @darcemac!

That sounds strange - if you've followed the instructions at https://github.com/withassociates/slices/wiki/Creating-Slices all should be well - note that you need to restart your Rails server after creating a new Slice for it to show up!

Do you have some code from your problem Slices that you could share?

Hey @calumgunn!

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it! I'm new to rails having mostly developed in php/wordpress and a couple of sites in jekyll so I made a rookie mistake of not thinking about the server restart, thanks for pointing that out. I'm able to add slices to the 'containers' easy now, its a great system, much easier than my experience with WP plugin Advanced Custom Fields.

I have another question sorry, I've added a slice called 'Images' using an example I found here - https://github.com/thomasmarshall/example-slices but I cant get the images to appear in the page default page view, results in empty

  • elements. Do I have to setup the asset path?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi @darcemac

    Could you post a snippet of your template?

    Hi @jgwhite,

    Ok here is the main layout and the image slice view, template etc. I haven't modified them.

    default.html.rb
    <body class="layout-default">
    <section id="main" role="main">
      <%= container "content" %>
    </section>
</body>
    images_slice.rb
    class ImagesSlice < Slice
  include Slices::HasAttachments
  class Image < Attachment
    field :link, type: String
    field :caption, type: String
  end
  has_attachments :images, class_name: 'ImagesSlice::Image'
end
    images.hbs
    <li>
  {{#attachmentComposer field="images"}}
    <textarea name="caption" placeholder="Caption…" rows="8">{{caption}}</textarea>
    <!--<input type="text" name="link" placeholder="Link…" value="{{link}}">-->
  {{/attachmentComposer}}
</li>
    show.html.erb
    <div class="slice images-slice">
  <ul class="images">
    <% slice.images.each do |image| %>
      <li>
        <%= link_image_if_linkable image.link, image.asset, :original %>
        <div class="image-caption"><%= markdown image.caption %></div>
      </li>
    <% end %>
  </ul>
</div>

    I basically want to use an Open Source Rails CMS with functionality to have multiple custom fields for content and multiple images, blog etc. I really like the way in Slices provides this but it may be a bit beyond me at this point in my Rails journey :)

    I appreciate your help!

    Hmm… the code all looks correct. Might be best to do a screen share. We have some slots available here: http://pair.withassociates.com

    We can arrange a time that works best for you if none of those suit.

    Hi @jgwhite,

    I really don't want to waste your time any further as I'm just having a play to assess another CMS option and I imagine you guys are under the pump doing work.

    It might be that I've installed it wrong... though I followed the README.md on https://github.com/withassociates/slices.

    If you had an example of a base Slices CMS project with images, posts etc. that I could download, I can have at look how its setup...

    Thanks again.
