Alright, This is really messy, but it works. If anyone's got any tips
on cleaning it up, have at it.
if ($('body').is('#page-photography')) { //I only want it to fire
on one page. Guessing I save some miniscule amount of overhead on the
other pages.
var loc = window.location.hash; // get the anchor from the link,
so http://www.example.com/index.php#test would give me #test
loc = loc.replace(/\#/g,""); // remove the pound symbol to give
me just test
var j = 0; // set a variable i'll be incrementing later. i have
to do this because of some messy html later on.
var goHere = 0; //set this so that, no matter what, the
startingSlide parameter gets something
$("#view-photos-block_1").children().children().each(function(i)
{ //i'm sure this could be cleaner. that might also be able to remove
the j variable.
if($(this).attr('id')) { //find out if there even is an
id
attribute; important because this is what controls j incrementin
if($(this).attr('id') == loc) { //if the id and
the anchor are
the same, set goHere. this will later be used as the startingSlide
parameter
goHere = j;
}
j++; //increment j; this give me the real 0
index of the slide.
}
})
}
When I've got a site up, I can post a link. In any case, this works.
Maybe in the future, something much better than this could be
implemented into cycle; for startingSlide, take either a zero-indexed
slide, or an of the slide? Just a thought... No idea how hard it would
be to implement.
Thanks for all the pointers.
