Slideshow from Folder?
-
I have a folder with 50+ images (content will change).
I’d like a slideshow w/horizontal thumbnails.
Rather than have to paste-in specific images I’d like the slideshow to display images drawn from that folder (alphabetical or random – doesn’t matter).
The slideshow needs to format the images to common dimensions.
The images are mostly .jpg with some .png and maybe a few .gif (I can change the gifs to jpg if necessary).
Master Slideshow doesn’t appear to present the option to specify a folder rather than specific images.

We cannot create any organizational media folders on any WordPress.com blog. What we can do is found here:

What is the real site you need help with?
The blog linked to your name has one very stale Post – and “Master Slideshow” sounds like a Plugin which can’t be used here.

I loaded Master Slideshow and looked everywhere I could see for how to specify a folder on the host server vs specific image files.
I’ve looked elsewhere and appears that I may be able to do this via pieces of Php, CSS, & HTML5, & JavaScript – but nowhere have I found an integrated solution.
It seems really odd that no one else has wanted to point to a folder vs specific images – since that means constant management – if the pictures are frequently changed/updated.
Thanks – David

That site is not hosted by WordPress.COM and we cannot help with it.
WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support forums. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
