Lovely. Now find one that meets my demands.

'Standard' sliders link to pictures in a folder. I want a slider that links to the folder and cycles through the pictures in that folder.

How about you do your own damn work.

Why would you expect this, abge?
There are people on this forum who expect people to do their homework for them, even cursory wikipedia-search formulaic homework and such.
Note: I have no idea what steephie22 is looking for nor how hard it is. Just making a general wise-ass comment. :)

I was just making clear to pangloss that if he would actually take a look at the question and the google search results, he'd find that it's not that easy.

I tried abge, I tried.. Just can't find/create one that works exactly the way I want it.

I probably should have looked at pan's link before giving you sass : /

Well conveniently, I happen to know someone who does some webdesign work on a webdip forum, and I think their holiday project fell through so they have some time. Let me go ask them how much they would charge for a project like that.

The people in the last link don't know what they are doing and the thread is 5 years old.

First off, exposing entire folders or folder structures to the public is a security risk. But if you are okay with that and you know PHP or have Node.js or some other server side language, the approach would be:

1) Javascript sends name of folder to server (or a code indicating which folder)
2) Server side code reads the folder and assembles all image names into JSON
or some other format compatible with the JQuery carousel of your choosing
3) Carousel takes the return from the server and displays the images

I don't know anything about web design. Was just looking for people with similar questions.

Yes -- that was kind of you to do so for him.

I've noticed that ex-mods are full of angst and sass. :)

Was that always true or did being a mod bring about that change? If it's the latter, then we should really add that as part of our spiel for new mods.

I did find both of those links but I didn't get either way to work, probably because of my unfamiliarity with the methods used. Right now I don't know wether I still need it though. If I end up needing it, it should probably be mostly ready to go already and not get much harder than linking to the right folder and possibly naming the images in a specific pattern.

@Mapu:

Yeah, forgot to mention: my coding knowledge is mostly limited to HTML and CSS, hence I would need it sort of ready-served if I want to be able to use it.

The rather entertaining part of this, is I've done this before, but it was for a paid project which I'm not allowed to give the code for. JQuery is your answer though. Good luck.
