Carousel Slider – Javascript/CSS/JQuery

[jerryr125]

Hi -I am in search of a carousel slider for images to place on a website.
The carousel slider must :
– be free
– work with javascript/css (jquery)
– the slider MUST obtain the images from a directory. This way, the site administrator can simply upload the images into the specific directory without changing code.

thoughts ? jerry

Thoughts?

Google.

Hi I did a google search.
The issue I keep having is that the images have to be entered into the code instead of from a specific directory

As far as I know, that’s not possible. Not even Javascript, if I got correctly, can read files in a folder and put them in LI’s. Perhaps with Java in an applet.

With HTML and Js, you have to encode them in the .html…
(as far as I know)

Ah sorry,
it just occurred to me: with PhP you can do this (perhaps): if you don’t know it, google ‘php read files’.

To use php, however, you must install wamp server (which includes Apache, for Windows).

If I got it right, he wants to take whatever files are in a specific directory and put them the slider’s list of images, dynamically. It cannot be done with JS, but with PhP (server-side), it can (maybe). I suggest transferring the problem to the PhP forum.

I suggest transferring the problem to the PhP forum.

Until the OP comes back with a response as their comfort level with any of this, I’ll leave it where it is for now.

[Egp]

Sure, that was intended for the OP as well…
