Get non-image attachments programmatically?

    Hello!
    I’m wondering if there is a way to programmatically get the attachments attached to the current page, from (a) specific categories/category, and list these in a simple html list? I can’t use the gallery tag since it only displays images, and this should be a part of every page so it makes more sense placing it directly into the template files.

    Thank you very much, really nice plugin!

    Hey mYrAn,

    This plugin primarily allows users to categorize their attachments, or to apply terms to their attachements from any taxonomy. Attachments is a post type, as such they can be queried for just like any other post type and taxonomy.

    You can programmatically do anything with taxonomized attachments that wordpress will allow with any taxonomized post type. The plugin does not however, provide any html or front end view for attachments. Even the [gallery] shortcode is not provided by the plugin, instead it uses templates built into wordpress for the galleries.

    The plugin gets out of the way, lets you query the media however you like (and however WP_Query will allow), and lets you create whatever front end you like for those attachments.

    Does this answer your questions sufficiently? I’m not sure if you were looking for something more specific.
