How to display all the attached images of the posts

  • hey HI , I’m trying to add a Gallery retrieving all the attach images, no matter if they are in the content , but I really don’t know what am I doing wrong or if I’m using the incorrect technic .

    For the record… I use:
    WP 2.9.2

    I use the examples that are in this great site:

    https://wpengineer.com/easier-better-solutions-to-get-pictures-on-your-posts/

    and I use this:

    <?php
$attachments = get_children( array('post_parent' => get_the_ID(), 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image') );
foreach ( $attachments as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
	echo wp_get_attachment_image($attachment_id);
} ?>

    But no image are displayed

    The Only thing I need is too add the <img src=”url” /> of the attached images….

    also I was wondering if this could be use as function, I mean:

    function the_gallery() {

$attachments = get_children( array('post_parent' => get_the_ID(), 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image') );
foreach ( $attachments as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
	echo wp_get_attachment_image($attachment_id);
}
	}

    and Call it with:

    the_gallery();

    Hope somebody could give me a hand on this…

    Thanks in advance

    Ok … I stop trying that ??

    I just put 4 custom fields at the function.php … to make it work for the moement

    If somebody know how to solve this , It will be very kind! ??

    …

    Dude, what’s wrong with using shortcode?
    Example:
    [gallery]

    Hi Zeo ,

    well is beccause I using tabs and jquery to display the content.

    let me share my idea:

    <?php get_header(); ?>

<section id="maincontent">

	<?php the_breadcrumb(); ?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

  <!-- tabs -->
<ul class="tabsX">
        <a href="#"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
        <a href="#">Otras Vistas</a>
        <a href="#">Especificaciones</a>

</ul>

	<!-- single pane. it is always visible -->
        <div class="panesX">

                <div class="postX">
                	<div class="infoX">
                                <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
                                <?php the_content(); ?>

                        </div>        				

                        <br class="clear" />
                </div>

                <div class="postX">
        		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/gallery.php'); ?>
     			<br clear="all" />
        	</div>

		<div class="postX">
                    <div class="tableX">
                       <?php spec_id ('spec_id') ?>
                        <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
                    </div>
                        <br class="clear" />
                </div>

        </div>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>

		<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

</section>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    ANd that’s why I can’t use shortcode

    How about <?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery]'); ?>?

    Zeo Thanks very much for this , unfortunately I’m trying to make that work… but no success …. I place it in a normal loop , without tabs… and is not showing anything…

    step by step

    – I uploaded 4 images to post 7
    – I add <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[gallery]‘); ?> to the loop

    – refresh front post 7

    – the source code and firebug show and empty space inside the class that must contain the gallery.

    and really Thank you!…

    Add this to your theme’s functions.php

    function show_all_thumbs() {
    global $post;
    $post = get_post($post);

/* image code */
$images =& get_children( 'post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&output=ARRAY_N&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC&post_parent='.$post->post_parent);
if($images){
foreach( $images as $imageID => $imagePost ){

unset($the_b_img);
$the_b_img = wp_get_attachment_image($imageID, 'thumbnail', false);
$thumblist .= '<a href="'.get_attachment_link($imageID).'">'.$the_b_img.'</a>';

}
}
return $thumblist;
}

    Then in your template file:

    echo show_all_thumbs();

    Hope this helps ??

    The above code is actually to show the thumbnails on attachment pages… to show them in posts change this:

    $images =& get_children( ‘post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&output=ARRAY_N&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC&post_parent=’.$post->post_parent);

    to this:

    $images =& get_children( ‘post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&output=ARRAY_N&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC&post_parent=’.$post->ID);
