While I was working on my new site, I wanted to create a simple image gallery using my installation of SlideShowPro (SSP) Director. Director is a sort of content management system used for arranging images into Flash galleries. I’m not much of a fan of Flash, so luckily there’s an easy to use Director API that lets users create galleries using whatever they want. Here I’m going to talk about a rather simple gallery I put together using simple PHP to gather thumbnails and a little jQuery to pre-load all the larger images. Check it out, and keep in mind I’m new at this PHP thing!
