How to only display something if the post's gallery has more than 1 image

That sounds familiar. Can you provide a link to a post with only 1 image where you don’t want to display something as well as a link to a post with more than 1 image which you do want to display something?

Also what is the something?

Good question ??

I have a website (under development) where I have the featured image displayed above the content as ummm a featured image! I also have the gallery code <?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery link="file"]'); ?> below the content to automatically display if all the images attached to my post.

Now, if I only attach 1 image it will be the featured image above the content and therefore no need to show the gallery which would be the same image below the content. If I attached 2 images however the gallery would look much more appropriate.

Clear as mud?

But it would also be nice to display ‘something’ else as well if there was only 1 image e.g “there is no gallery here suckaaaaa”

I have the featured image displayed above the content as ummm a featured image

Should be doable especially as the featured image HTML is filterable via the the_post_thumbnail(). That filter is my new favorite toy. I’m resisting the urge to make all problems into nails for this hammer. ??

I’ll take a look tonight but the logic should be

If there is a gallery in the_content with only one image then show the featured image and don’t display that gallery.

else display the featured image and the gallery (if the gallery has 2 or more images).

This is for the front page view?

Thanks Jan, it’s for a single custom post

[ No bumping please. ]

<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_mime_type' => 'image',
'post_parent' => get_the_ID()
);
$images = get_posts( $args );
if( count( $images )  == 1 ){
?>
no gallery
<?php } else if( count( $images )  > 1 ){ ?>
Gallery shortcode goes here
<?php } else { ?>
There are no photos attached
<?php } ?>
