Answer 1

You can do this:

//on before function
before: function (curr, next, opts) {
    alert(opts.nextSlide + " of " + opts.slideCount);
} 

Hope it helps

Thanks so much Sudhir! I'm a beginner in coding, how do I return the current slide number as a variable oppose to popping an alert like the one you showed me? Thanks! – Complexity

var current = opts.nextSlide; – Bassinet

To get the current slide use:

before: function (curr, next, opts) {
    alert("Current slide " + opts.currSlide);
}
