I'm looking for an image slider that has the ability to load different directories via my server. I'm not using any CMS.
For example if I have the directories: localhost/galleries/florida, localhost/galleries/wedding, and localhost/galleries/graduation
When the user visits my site they will see the image slider (with just a place holder image) and a few links with different gallery titles. The user can then click the link to select a gallery to view from. In this case it's, Florida, Wedding, or Graduation when clicked it loads the directory into the slider (without a page reload).
Are there any image sliders that come with a server side script I can customize for this?
Check out Slidedeck. It believe it will meet your requirements. Otherwise this page has a number of jQuery options.
