goToSlide from an external link #757

Is there a possibility to link to a certain slide from anothe page? Thank you for your help!

mauc commented 9 years ago

My solution for now: in the page where the slider is situated: var startingSlide=document.URL.substring(document.URL.lastIndexOf('?')+1)-1; and make startSlide: startingSlide instead of a slide number.

The link from the other page to a specific slide is like this: <a href="slidersite.html?5">specific slide</a>

Don't know if that's the best way, but it works.

This is currently a decent way to do it because the slider needs to be initialized on page load and there isn't any sort of hash features. I will look into doing this in an update.
