Wordpress: query all images in a posts media library - wordpress

Howdy! I am looking for a way to list all of the image files in a posts' media library.
What I mean by this is if a file has been uploaded while creating or editing a post, is the file associated with the post in some way, and can I create a list from this data.
I think that the next_image_link() / previous_image_link(); template tag is as close as I have found.
I think that this should be close:
$query = 'SELECT * FROM `wp_posts`
WHERE `post_parent` = \''.$_GET['post_id'].'\'
AND `post_mime_type` = \'image/jpeg\'
ORDER BY `menu_order` ASC';
thanks.

In wordpress terminology, every image you uploaded to particular post is called attachment.
To list all attachment, you can use get_children() function:
$images =& get_children( 'post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&post_parent=10' );
$counter=0;
foreach( (array) $images as $attachment_id => $attachment )
{
$counter++;
echo "<a href='".wp_get_attachment_link( $attachment_id ) . "'>image $counter</a><br />";
}
The algorithm is something like that.

If you are looking for a plugin to manage image gallery, you can use attachments plugin,
http://wordpress.org/plugins/attachments/
It keeps the gallery separate and does not put the image gallery shortcodes in post content, thus providing you with full hold over image display in your post/page/custom post. You can also change the order of your images by just drag-n-drop
here is a sample code of how to retrieve your gallery images,
<?php $attachments = new Attachments( 'attachments' ); /* pass the instance name */ ?>
<?php if( $attachments->exist() ) : ?>
<h3>Attachments</h3>
<p>Total Attachments: <?php echo $attachments->total(); ?></p>
<ul>
<?php while( $attachments->get() ) : ?>
<li>
ID: <?php echo $attachments->id(); ?><br />
Type: <?php echo $attachments->type(); ?><br />
Subtype: <?php echo $attachments->subtype(); ?><br />
URL: <?php echo $attachments->url(); ?><br />
Image: <?php echo $attachments->image( 'thumbnail' ); ?><br />
Source: <?php echo $attachments->src( 'full' ); ?><br />
Size: <?php echo $attachments->filesize(); ?><br />
Title Field: <?php echo $attachments->field( 'title' ); ?><br />
Caption Field: <?php echo $attachments->field( 'caption' ); ?>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>

Get a ACF field using get_pages()

I'm displaying a list of sibling pages using the below code. As well as retrieving the page title and link. I need to grab a custom field called excerpt and output it for each sibling item. How do I do this using get_pages? Currently the var_dump I'm using is grabbing the current pages excerpt, which is incorrect.
<?php
global $post;
if ( is_page() && $post->post_parent ) {
$children = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID);
$parent = $post->post_parent;
$our_pages = get_pages('child_of='.$parent.'&exclude='.$post->ID);
$ex = get_field('excerpt', $our_pages);
if (!empty($our_pages)):
foreach ($our_pages as $key => $page_item):
<a href="<?php echo esc_url(get_permalink($page_item->ID)); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php echo $page_item->post_title ; ?>
<?php var_dump($ex) ?>
<?php endforeach;
endif;
}
UPDATE
Ok so I have put in <?php print_r($page_item); ?> as suggested and it has returned the following:
I don't see any of my ACF fields here, so how do I retrieve those? What are my next steps?
You should be using the_field(), or echo get_field(), within your forloop, and should pass the post ID as the second parameter of the function:
if (!empty($our_pages)):
foreach ($our_pages as $key => $page_item):
<a href="<?php echo esc_url(get_permalink($page_item->ID)); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php echo $page_item->post_title ; ?>
<?php the_field('excerpt', $page_item->ID); ?>
</a>
<?php endforeach;
endif;
You can read more about how get_field() works, in the documentation.
You full code like below:
<?php
global $post;
if ( is_page() && $post->post_parent ) {
$children = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID);
$parent = $post->post_parent;
$our_pages = get_pages('child_of='.$parent.'&exclude='.$post->ID);
$ex = get_field('excerpt', $our_pages);
if (!empty($our_pages)):
foreach ($our_pages as $key => $page_item):
<a href="<?php echo esc_url(get_permalink($page_item->ID)); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<?php echo $page_item->post_title ; ?>
<?php echo get_post_meta( $page_item->ID, 'excerpt', true); ?>
<?php endforeach;
endif;
}
If you didn't get the data like above then change you custom filed name with any other name and then try.
I've got the same problem with AFC and get_pages().
Try to access ACF fields by retrieving all posts by page type.
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'page',
'numberposts' => -1, // Accepts -1 for all. Default 5.
);
$pages = get_posts($args);
Now ACF get_field('excerpt'); function will work, because get_pages() doesn't return all needed data.
If you'd like to get specific pages like siblings you could pass theirs id's as get_posts() 'include' argument (arr).
Read more about get_posts() in documentation.

Slider with ACF field-type 'Image'

For a portfolio page, I have created a custom post type for each reference called “referenzen”. Since I need more than one image per reference (displayed in different ways), I have created some custom post types.
Now, on the front page, I want to display the newest references in a slider (kind of this type, exmple 4: http://www.wpcue.com/wordpress-plugins/advanced-post-slider/template-one/).
I tried to use some plugins, but there just created for regular post thumbs.
For now, I’m having the following code to display the latest 3 references.
<section class="entry-content cf" itemprop="articleBody">
<?php query_posts( array (
'post_type' => 'referenzen',
'posts_per_page' => 4 // minus 1
)); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
$image = get_field('bg');
if( !empty($image) ): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" />
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
Now I need to bring this into some slider/carousel…
Any help is much appreciated
If you need to show posts in the form of slider/carousel, please follow below steps
1. Please download bxslider.js & include it in header.php of your theme file like below -
<script src="your-theme-directory-path/js/jquery.bxslider.min.js"></script>
Make sure that field you have created to upload image is of image type with "Image Object" option.
Correct Your code as below -
'referenzen',
'posts_per_page' => 4 // minus 1
)); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
$image = get_field('bg');
if( !empty($image) ): ?>
<li> <img src="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" /></li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
</ul>
Add below Javascript code in the footer.php
jQuery('.slider2').bxSlider({
slideWidth: 350,
minSlides: 1,
maxSlides: 1,
slideMargin: 5
});
</script>

list custom fields from different custom post types

I have two different custom post types: "Movies" and "Press" with different custom fields.
Now I want to display both custom fields in the single.php.
home.php:
...
$query = array(
'post_type' => 'movies',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $query );
if ( $loop->have_posts() ) :
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
<div class="movie_cover">
<img src="<?php the_field('cover'); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title() ?>" />
</div>
...
single.php:
get_header(); ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'single', 'film' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
single-film.php:
...
<img src="<?php the_field('cover'); ?>" title="<?php echo get_the_title() ?>" />
...
the field 'cover' is from "Movies", but now i want to list the field 'release' from "Press".
Does I need a second loop?
if you add movie_id custom field to press, and set it to the ID of the movie
then you can do something like inside single-film.php
query_posts('meta_key=movie_id&meta_value=' . get_the_ID());
and do another loop for the reviews
while have_posts() ...
There's a lot of additional stuff but this should get you going in the
right direction.
I'd consider using get_posts instead of query_posts to not override wordpress' main query loop, but then you'd have to do your own manual loop:
$posts = get_posts('meta_key=movie_id&meta_value=' . get_the_ID());
foreach ($posts as $p) {
echo $p->post_title;
...
}

multiple wordpress custom post meta values

I'm pretty hopeless at PHP, so I figured I'd ask for a bit of help!
I'm using WordPress as a CMS for a music agency site at daviesmusic.com and have lots of extra information for the various artists via custom fields. So far, I've just retrieved the custom field values one by one, like so:
<?php
//audio title
$audio_title = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'audio_name', true);
if ($audio_title) :
?>
<p><?php echo $audio_title; ?></p>
This works fine, only I have lots of custom fields that all require different outputs. I have for instance a photo for the artist, an audio file, the title of the audio file and some notes about the audio file, like so:
<?php
//profile image
$profile_pic = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'profileimage', true);
if($profile_pic) :
?>
<img class="post-thumb-single" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $profile_pic; ?>&a=t&h=278&w=278&zc=1" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
<?php
endif;
//photographer
$photographer = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'photographer', true);
if($photographer) :
?>
<p id="photographer">Photographer: <b><?php echo $photographer; ?></b></p>
<?php
endif;
//audio title
$audio_title = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'audio_title', true);
if ($audio_title) :
?>
<h4 class="nsmb">Audio files</h4>
<p><?php echo $audio_title; ?></p>
<?php
//audio file
$audio = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'audiofile', true);
if ($audio) :
?>
<p class="audio" id="audioplayer_1">Sorry, there was a problem loading the file.</p>
<script>AudioPlayer.embed("audioplayer_1", {soundFile: "<?php echo $audio; ?>"});</script>
<?php
$audio_credits_1 = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'audio_credits_1', true);
if ($audio_credits_1) :
?>
<p class="audio_cred"><?php echo $audio_credits_1; ?></p>
<?php
endif; endif; endif;
?>
Lots of code. I'm sure there must be a more efficient way to retrieve the values! Any ideas?!
Cheers
Take this example from here:
$custom_fields = get_post_custom(72);
$my_custom_field = $custom_fields['my_custom_field'];
foreach ( $my_custom_field as $key => $value ){
echo $key . " => " . $value . "<br />";
}
This will cycle through all specified custom values for the post (id #72 in this example, you can get yours using $post->ID as you have in your code). You can use $key to print the field name, and $value to print the value of that field. You can get more granular with how they're displayed using an if elseif else statement or a switch.

Wordpress: show comment on a new page?

I need to display link after each comment, when you click that link, a new page displays that single coment on a new page.
Is that possible?
I answered your exact question over on WordPress Answers (also a StackExchange site) just yesterday. You can find that answer here. It involved the following four steps:
Setting up the URL Rewriting by adding a query_var, rewrite_tag and a permastruct,
Being sure to flush the rewrite rules in a plugin's activation hook or manually,
Adding a parse_query filter hook to set the query_vars's post to be the comment's post and to disable sticky posts for the query,
Adding a template_include filter hook to filter the template file name to load a template specific template file for a single comment, and lastly
To create the comment template file as /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/comment.php.
Again, you can find the answer over here.
Hope this helps.
-Mike
UPDATE:
Below is the full content that I had also posted on WordPress Answers:
There are numerous different ways to accomplish this, some more polished than others and practically all of them with potential for conflict with other plugins, but ignoring all that here's one way that is pretty close to what you asked for. :)
This solution will support a URL format like the following where %comment_id% is the numeric ID of your comment from the wp_comments table:
http://example.com/comments/%comment_id%/
First you'll need to configure your URL rewriting using the following code. Hopefully it is reasonably self-explanitory but don't hesitate to ask:
$wp->add_query_var('comment_id'); // Add the "behind-the-scenes" query variable that WordPress will use
$wp_rewrite->add_rewrite_tag('%comment_id%', '([0-9]+)','comment_id='); // Define a rewrite tag to match that assigns to the query var
$wp_rewrite->add_permastruct('comment-page', 'comments/%comment_id%'); // Define a URL pattern to match the rewrite tag.
You'll also either need to call this code in a plugin activation hook to flush the rules, or if it's your site you can just save permalinks in the admin console's Settings > Permalinks settings area:
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules(false);
Next add a parse_query filter hook. This will be called after WordPress has inspected the query. It tests to see if your added comment_id query_var set and if so it tests to see if you are on the desired URL. If yes then it loads the comment array using get_comment() in order to set the 'p' parameter (which should be set to a post ID) to the post that is related to the comment. That way when WordPress runs the query that it is going to run no matter what at least it loads something you'll need in your comment.php theme template file below and you won't have to ran another query later when you need it. This code also tells WordPress to ignore sticky posts using the oddly named caller_get_posts option:
add_filter( 'parse_query', 'my_parse_query' );
function my_parse_query( $query ) {
global $wp;
if (isset($query->query['comment_id']) && substr($wp->request,0,9)=='comments/') {
$comment = get_comment($query->query['comment_id']);
$query->query_vars['p'] = $comment->comment_post_ID; // Causes the comment's post to be loaded by the query.
$query->query_vars['caller_get_posts'] = true; // Keeps sticky posts from invading into the top of our query.
}
}
Still next you'll need to hook the code in /wp-includes/template-loader.php using the template_include filter. This will be called after WordPress has both inspected the query and loaded the post for the comment. Here you'll first check again for comment_id in the query_var and also for the URL being the one you want. If so we replace the /index.php template page with /comment.php which is a theme template file you will need to create:
add_filter( 'template_include', 'my_template_include' );
function my_template_include( $template ) {
global $wp,$wp_query;
if (isset($wp_query->query['comment_id']) && substr($wp->request,0,9)=='comments/') {
$template = str_replace('/index.php','/comment.php',$template);
}
return $template;
}
Lastly now you need to create your theme template file which I've chosen to call /comment.php. Since it's your theme you'll want to make it look like you want but here is an example to get you started:
<?php
/*
* File: /wp-content/themes/my-theme/comment.php
*/
global $wp_query,$post;
$comment_id = $wp_query->query['comment_id'];
$comment = get_comment($comment_id);
$permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);
get_header();
?>
<div id="container">
<div id="comment-<?php echo $comment_id; ?>" class="comment">
<p>Comment by: <span class="comment-author">
<?php echo $comment->comment_author; ?></span>
on <span class="comment-date"><?php echo date("D M jS Y", strtotime($comment->comment_date)); ?></span>
at <span class="comment-time"><?php echo date("h:ia", strtotime($comment->comment_date)); ?></span>
</p>
<p>About: <?php echo $post->post_title; ?></p>
<blockquote><?php echo $comment->comment_content; ?></blockquote>
</div>
</div>
<?php
get_sidebar();
get_footer();
Any questions? Just ask.
Hope this helps.
P.S. All of the code I describing above can either go in your theme's functions.php file and/or in a plugin of your own. A caveat is for the URL rewrite flushing rules that should go in a plugin activation hook if you are going to include it instead us just flushing them manually in the permalinks section of the admin console. I didn't show how to register an activation hook do but if you want to learn more you can read about it here.
(New edited version after OP's comments)
There are many ways to do this. In theory this is the simplest, but maybe not 'most appropriate according to WordPress' way. Take this as a starting point. I haven't tested it, so you may encounter an error or two that should be solvable with some minor tweaks. Let me know if you get stumped and I'll do my best. So conceptually...
You should copy the page.php template file and rename it to 'comments_page.php' (or whatever you like). Open this file in your code editor and find where the following appears: (or create it if it does not exist)
/*Template Name: page*/
and change it to
/*Template Name: comments_page*/
Now open your WordPress admin area and create a new page. Call it whatever you want but don't add any content. In the right hand column, select the template that the page uses from the "Page Template" drop down menu. Select 'comments_page' (or whatever you listed as the template name). This tells WordPress to use your file to show this specific page instead of the default page template. Save the page and note the page_id that WordPress generates.
Now, find your theme's comments template, usually 'comments.php'. Find the function wp_list_comments();. We are going to add the name of a custom function that will control the display of your comments as an argument to this function. For an example, go to the twenty-ten theme's files, open comments.php and you'll see what that looks like:
wp_list_comments( array( 'callback' => 'twentyten_comment' ) );
Open the twenty-ten theme's functions.php and find
function twentyten_comment()
Copy that entire function and paste it into your theme's functions file. Change the name to' my_comment()', and add that to the wp_list_comments function call like this:
wp_list_comments( array('callback'=>'my_comment'));
In your newly-created 'my_comment()' function in your functions.php file, add a link where you want to the separate page of comments (comments_page.php) using get_page_link() and a query var named 'commentID' and the comments ID.
View this comment
Now to inappropriately add php logic to a template file. Once you understand how this works, you can create a function in your functions.php file and then call it in the theme file...
On comments_page.php ,use $_GET['commentID'] to retrieve the comment's id value from the url, and pass it to get_comment($commentID) to retrieve the single comment and display it on a single page.
if(isset($_GET['commentID'])){$commentID = $_GET['commentID'];}
$comment = get_comment($commentID);
Now you have all the single comments information in the $comment variable as an object.
You can decide how to display the comment, but to start, I recommend copying the contents of your theme's comments template to keep things consistent. It will show exactly the same thing the post page shows, but it sounds like this page is intended more for the permalink to a single comment that you link to from somewhere else.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you run into a snag.
Note: this answer provides info given to me from Todd Perkins over at wordpress.stackexchange.com
