below is what I have in my functions.php file (overriding the default instance as my pages were already setup using the default instance.
function my_attachments_randomise( $attachments )
{
return shuffle( $attachments );
}
add_filter( 'attachments_get_attachments', 'my_attachments_randomise' );
function attachments( $attachments )
{
$fields = array(
array(
'name' => 'title', // unique field name
'type' => 'text', // registered field type
'label' => __( 'Title', 'attachments' ), // label to display
'default' => 'title', // default value upon selection
),
array(
'name' => 'caption', // unique field name
'type' => 'textarea', // registered field type
'label' => __( 'Caption', 'attachments' ), // label to display
'default' => 'caption', // default value upon selection
),
);
$args = array(
// title of the meta box (string)
'label' => 'Page/Post Attachments',
// all post types to utilize (string|array)
'post_type' => array( 'post', 'page' ),
// meta box position (string) (normal, side or advanced)
'position' => 'normal',
// meta box priority (string) (high, default, low, core)
'priority' => 'high',
// allowed file type(s) (array) (image|video|text|audio|application)
'filetype' => array( 'image' ), // no filetype limit
// include a note within the meta box (string)
'note' => 'Attach files here!',
// by default new Attachments will be appended to the list
// but you can have then prepend if you set this to false
'append' => true,
// text for 'Attach' button in meta box (string)
'button_text' => __( 'Attach Files', 'attachments' ),
// text for modal 'Attach' button (string)
'modal_text' => __( 'Attach', 'attachments' ),
// which tab should be the default in the modal (string) (browse|upload)
'router' => 'browse',
// fields array
'fields' => $fields,
);
$attachments->register( 'attachments', $args ); // unique instance name
}
add_action( 'attachments_register', 'attachments' );
and here is what is in the template file:
<ul class="grid full-page">
<?php
$attachments = new Attachments( 'attachments' ); /* pass the instance name */
$count = 1;
?>
<?php if( $attachments->exist() ) {
?>
<li <?php post_class('grid-item-copy'); ?> id="post_<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php echo wpautop(get_the_content(), true); ?>
<div class="social">
<div class="fb-like" data-href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" data-send="true" data-layout="button_count" data-width="330" data-show-faces="false"></div>
</div>
</li>
<?php while( $attachments->get() ) : ?>
<li<?php echo (++$count%3 ? '' : ' class="end-of-row"'); ?>>
<h2>
<a href="<?php echo $attachments->src( 'full' ); ?>" class="colorbox">
<span class="item-image" style="background: url(<?php echo get_template_directory_uri() .'/scripts/timthumb.php?w=330&h=330&src='. $attachments->src(' full '); ?>) 0 0 no-repeat;">
<img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri() .'/scripts/timthumb.php?w=330&h=330&f=2&src='. $attachments->src( 'full' ); ?>" alt="<?php echo trim(strip_tags( $attachments->field( 'caption' ) )); ?>" />
</span><?php
$profile_title = trim(strip_tags( $attachments->field( 'caption' )));
if($profile_title != "") {
echo '<span class="item-content">'. $profile_title .'</span>';
}
?></a>
</h2>
</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<li <?php post_class('grid-item-copy'); ?> id="post_<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
if I remove the shuffle() from the return statement then the attachments are shown, if I leave it nothing is shown…
Many thanks,
Tom
