Q:

Sliding Current Carousel Item in Bootstrap Modal Slider

I am trying to create a simple lightbox using Bootstrap carousel and Modal. Please take a look at sample file which I have here.
What I would like to do is starting the Modal Carousel as same slide (current slide) of the main carousel. As you can see from the example when I start the Modal it just start from the first item but I need to start from current active slide.
Can you please let me know how to do this?
<div class="container">
<div class="well span9 columns">
    <div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide">
        <div class="carousel-inner">
            <div class="item active">
                <a href=".bell" data-toggle="modal"><img src="http://bootstrapdocs.com/v2.0.3/docs/assets/img/bootstrap-mdo-sfmoma-01.jpg" alt=""/></a>
            </div>
            <div class="item">

A:

This seems to work.
$('.bell').on('show', function() {
    var targetSlide = parseInt($('#myCarousel .active').index('#myCarousel .item'));
    $('#myCarousel2').carousel(targetSlide);
});

This gets the current index showing on the main carousel.
$('#myCarousel .active').index('#myCarousel .item')

This sets the current slide of the modal carousel.
$('#myCarousel2').carousel(/*Number here*/);

Here is a jsFillde with the above code.
