Display All Attached Images to a WordPress Post
This will allow you to use Timthumb while showing all images within a WordPress post gallery. In other words, if I upload 4 photos to a post, they will automatically be shown wherever I insert this code in my template, within that post’s loop.
This is assuming that the timthumb script is in your theme’s directory: wp-content/themes/mytheme/timthumb.php
<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'orderby' => 'menu_order', 'order' => 'ASC', 'post_mime_type' => 'image' ,'post_status' => null, 'post_parent' => $post->ID ); $attachments = get_posts($args); if ($attachments) { foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) { ?> <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/thumb.php?w=200&h=200&zc=1&src=<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment->ID , false ); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" width="200" height="200" border="0" /> <?php } } ?>
To have each thumbnail link to the full sized original image, have the anchor href point to
<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment->ID , false ); ?>
Hey Chad! Great post! Hoping you might be able to help me solve a problem. What if I wanted to use this technique to display all of the attachments of a pages children?
Setting post parent to ‘null’ returns all of the attachments for the site. I’ve also tried get_children to no avail… and the latest attempt was to set ‘post_parent’ => $pageChild->ID,
Currently:
$attachment_args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’,
‘numberposts’ => -1,
‘post_status’ => null,
‘post_parent’ => $pageChild->ID,
‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order ID’
);
Thanks in advance!
