[revo] get menuindex of current page#

hey there,
new day, new question.
I need the menuindex of the current site.

for example:

web
+ page 1
+ + page 4
+ + page 5
+ + page 6
+ page 2
+ + page 7
+ + page 8
+ page 3

so. when i'm on page 8 the menuindex will be 2, 'cause that is the second element from his parent.
how can i get the menuindex?

thanks for your help

sorry my mistake. this example:
web
+ page 1
+ + page 4
+ + page 5
+ + page 6
+ page 2
+ + page 7
+ + + page 9
+ + + page 10
+ + page 8

so when i'm on page 10, i need two values.
for first the menuindex of his parent (page 7): so the value is 2.
and then i need that menuindex-value from the parent…
+ page 3

This is possible but first I'm curious what you intend to achieve with this? Depending on that we can suggest a suitable solution for you

On page2 I used getRessource to became a horizontal slider of page 7, and page 8 and the slider page 8 has a vertical slider of his child elements.

And I need to calculate the correct x- and y-coordinate for the non-javascript-version.
and this is why i need these two values. (:

I think you can achive this with getResourceField Snippet.
Here is an example:

No, that doesn't work correctly.
page 9 and page 10 became the same values. and that makes no sense.

If you need the menuindex of the current page just use without any Snippet.

Try calling the snippets uncached:
