How to check if there are documents attached to post?

Accomplished it this way:

<?php $attachments = get_posts( array(
            'post_type' => 'attachment',
            'posts_per_page' => -1,
            'post_parent' => $post->ID,
            'exclude'     => in_array('image', 'audio')
			));

			if ( $attachments ) { ?>
				   <div id="listing-documents">
					<?php echo do_shortcode( '[dg]' ); ?>
					</div>
				<?php } ?>

Hi Jason,

What you’ve done works, but why not just call [dg] always? DG will handle no attachments correctly (no output). ??

Changing to this approach would also avoid double work since internally DG is calling get_posts().

Hi Dan,

thanks for responding. I’m displaying the output inside a tabbed interface. If there is no attachment, then I don’t want the corresponding tab to show.

Ah-ha! Then yes, what you’ve described is the way to go! ??
