Question

I have a carousel that I can change the location of with an integer value.

What I’d like to do is take the hash, remove the # symbol and store that value in a variable which I can later use in a function.

I’ve pasted the code below, which for some reason just won’t work.

var $hash = window.location.hash;

        if($hash != ''){
            var $grave_nr = $hash.substring(1);
            return $grave_nr;
        } else{
            var $grave_nr = 1;
            return $grave_nr;
        }

        // carousel
        $('#the_graves_carousel').tinycarousel({ 
            intervaltime: 7000,
            pager: true,
            duration: 1600,
            start: $grave_nr
        });  

Anyone have an idea why it’s not working?

EDIT: fixed it by removing the return $grave_nr; in the if statements 🙂

Answer 1

var $hash = window.location.hash;
var $grave_nr = $hash ? $hash.slice(1) : 1;

$('#the_graves_carousel').tinycarousel({ 
    intervaltime: 7000,
    pager: true,
    duration: 1600,
    start: $grave_nr
});
