edits

The modifications allow for one to set the carousel to a particular slide upon its initialization.

The specific implementation of this modification was as follows: a variable was passed via the URL, and this variable was then used to intialize the carousel to a particular slide. This allowed a user to keep the particular slide he or she was on throughout his/her navigation of the carousel.

Therefore, the url "foo/bar?slide=X" would initialize the slideshow to slide X.

how to use

You can set the carousel to a particular initial slide using,

   jQuery('#viewport').carousel('#simplePrevious', '#simpleNext', initial_slide);

Or you can parse the URL ( "foo/bar?slide=X" ) using Regex,

  function parseURL (name) {
			name = RegExp ('[?&]' + name.replace (/([[\]])/, '\\$1') + '=([^&#]*)');
			return (window.location.href.match (name) || "0")[1];
		}

And then call the carousel.js using

	jQuery(document).ready(function(){
		     var initial_slide = parseInt(parseURL("slide"));
		     jQuery('#viewport').carousel('#simplePrevious', '#simpleNext', initial_slide);	
		});
