Question

I am trying to get current image index in fancybox gallery. There is a pos method in documentation but it is just setter method and not working for getter.

$.fancybox.pos(3) // works fine
var index = $.fancybox.pos() // does not work . It returns undefined. 

I understand that pos is designed as setter method but i need to know
current image index in fancybox gallery.
How can i know current image index ?

Answer 1

Something like the following should do just fine:

var src = $('#fancybox-img').attr('src'); // Looks for the *fancyboxed* image
var idx = $('a[href="'+src+'"]').index(); // Gets the index of the thumbnail

You may have to adapt this solution if you use some custom DOM hierarchy.
