Show only four images.

i have the same cuestion:

i need retrieve the first or last three photos of a last published article with WP Simple Galery for show with php in the front page

Hi,

I also needed, I searching on web about it and not found anything, so I’ve read the Simple Gallery code for understand how I can this, and below the instructions:

To get the images id use <?php $ids = get_meta_post ( $post->ID, 'wpsimplegallery_gallery'); ?>

With the ids, you can get what you want, examples:

To get the url (on media) of the first image <?php $url = wp_get_attachment_url ( $ids[0] ); ?>

To get the generic thumb <?php the_attachment_link ( $ids[0] ); ?>

To get the first 4 images

<?php
$images = array();
for($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) {
  $images[$i] = wp_get_attachment_image_src ( $ids[$i], array(320,160) );
  // 320, 160 = width, height or name of your thumb
}
?>

Hope this helps, I you need I am available.
