Show number of photos on posts

  • So I set up my user post submission form so that users can upload multiple pictures and the last picture thats uploaded becomes the featured picture (which then shows as a thumbnail on pages that contain posts). When you are on a page and click on the thumbnail to go to that post you then can see all of the photos that the user uploaded.

    Well I wanted to make it so that on the page that displays all of users posts, by the thumbnail, users can see how many photos are within that post. SO for example there would be the thumbnail and “5 pics”… so users can know how may photos are within the post before clicking on the post.

  • Not sure if what you need is related to the plugin..
    Your theme gets the featured images for archive and category pages, or your posts page. So you would have to output the number of attachments for each post in the loop for the template which generates the post thumbnails.

    something like

    (edit)

    <?php
$attachments = get_children(array('post_parent'=>$post->ID));
$nbImg = count($attachments);
echo 'There are '.$nbImg.' pictures on this post.';
?>

    might work, though not tested.

    tested and worked for me!

    keep in mind, the number of images displayed in the posts are not always the same as the number of images attached to the post. Only images added via wpuf display as attachments in the post.

    Thanks for the response! This would go into post.php right?

    only if your archive or category template uses post.php for it’s output (get_template_part). You have to find which template generates the page in question. It’s different for different themes. What theme are you using?

    on the child theme

    looks like it’s a premium theme, sorry I can’t check it out. Look in archive or category.php, if the posts page, look for the main index template.

    if any of those have (get_template_part) go to that template and try it there.

    as long as it’s in the loop it will work.

    yes, child theme even better

    I am getting this next to my new posts
    “>“>“>“>

    what’s the name of the template you put it in?

    I tried
    content-archive-topic.php
    content-single-view.php
    framework/index.php
    single.php
    page.php

    And on the child theme I tried functions.php but that caused an error.

    yes it’s not a function, you’ll have to figure out where the actual output for your posts is. Some themes do make it complicated. Perhaps ask theme support..?

    ya I am doing that right now. Well thank you for the code! I will keep on trying.

    My theme has an archive template that it uses to get the posts for archives, categories, or the posts page. But, it calls different templates specifically for archive view, depending on the post format. So, I had to go to the template which generates my posts and put it right after the last <?php endif;?>

    like this

    <?php endif; ?>

<?php
$attachments = get_children(array('post_parent'=>$post->ID));
$nbImg = count($attachments);
echo 'There are '.$nbImg.' pictures on this post.';
?>

	</div> <!-- /post -->

</div> <!-- /post-container -->

    but your classes may be named differently..
