If you want to display images attached to a WordPress page/post all you need to do is copy the code below to your theme’s functions.php file:
/* Sizes can be thumbnail, full, medium, large */
function getAttachedimages($size='full', $before = '', $after = '')
{
global $post;
$qty = -1;
if ( $images = get_children(array(
'post_parent' => $post->ID,
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'numberposts' => $qty,
'post_mime_type' => 'image',
'order' => 'DESC',
'orderby' => 'menu_order ID'
)))
{
foreach( $images as $image )
{
$attachmenturl = wp_get_attachment_url($image->ID);
$attachmentimage = wp_get_attachment_image( $image->ID, $size );
echo $before . $attachmentimage . $after . "n";
}
}
}
Usage
Using the function is a simple case of calling the function something like this:
<ul id="gallery">
<?php getAttachedimages('thumbnail', '<li>', '</li>'); ?>
</ul>
Have fun!
