How to display the image on a gallery template

  • Hi,

    I’m building a new slideshow gallery template and I’m trying without success to get a list of images on the gallery template (not the thumbnails).

    Within:
    foreach ( $current_foogallery->attachments() as $attachment ) {}
    I’ve tried
    echo $attachment->html_img( $args );
    or
    echo $attachment->html( $args );

    As well as many other code snippets without luck.

    How do I pull out an IMG tag with the actual original images for me to play with?

    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, just managed to pull it out but I wonder if this is the best way as it’s more “hard coded” and not as flexible for filters from extensions to affect it:

    <?php
	foreach ( $current_foogallery->attachments() as $attachment ) {

		echo '<li><figure>' . '<img src="' . $attachment->url . '" alt="'. $attachment->alt . '" /></figure></li>';

	} ?>

    Would be great to know your thoughts.

    hi

    You are right – it is best to rather use:
    $attachment->html_img( $args );

    You can also get to the underlying WP attachment post by:

    $attachment->_post

    I hope that helps?

    Hi Bradvin, thanks for getting back.

    When I use: $attachment->html_img( $args ); it only gives me the cached thumbnail images not the actual original image which is what I want. How do I access the original image?

    ok, I see what you are after now – you will have to use $attachment->url as in your snippet. I think I need to add a method to the attachment class that outputs an image tag that points to the original image src
