Adding a link or global call to specific slide starting point

[tomtranmer]

Great script! Really slick and works wonderfully.

I don't know if I am missing something, but I am trying to figure out a way to create an external link to specific slides, or start the slideshow with a specific slide rather than the default first (or random).

Let me know if this is something that you have considered and I am overlooking, or is to yet supported by your great script.

Cheers,

Random already works with the option "random: true", but right now there's no way create a link to specific slide. This will change though with the 2.0 release.

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to the next version!

Any update on a 2.0 release? Or a way to get this jump-to-particular-slide functionality in the meantime?

It's not perfect, but this does the trick of jumping to specific slides in the meantime:

// <a href="#" data-index="2">Jump to position 3</a>
$('a').click( function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var index = $(this).data('index');
    $('ul.rslides_tabs').find('li').eq(index).find('a').click();
});

Edit: This assumes you have 'nav' set to true and you haven't changed the default 'rslides_tabs' naming scheme.

i am also looking forward to link on a specific slide.
the hack from dominicwhittle is a good idea, but doesn't work for me (transparent navigation on left and right side).
is there any other hack i can do for jumping to a specific slide? when version 2.0 will appear?

Issue #174 might be of interest for you. I used it with transparent navigation.

[wedesignla]

any trick for this? i need to link to a current slide while the gallery is already loaded. Issue #174 has to do with passing a variable before loading. really i don't even need to pick any slide, just looking to restart entire slider.

tried this but not working. there is no with the recent demo's, so is that the problem?
('ul.rslides').find('li').eq(0).find('a').click();
