    I have the following query

    <?php // gets attached images
			$counter = 3;
			$args = array(
				'post_type' => 'attachment',
				'numberposts' => -1, // posts_per_page doesn't work for get_posts!
				'orderby' => 'rand',
				'caller_get_posts' => 1,
				'post_mime_type' => 'image',
				'post_status' => null,
				'post_parent' => null, // any parent
				);
			$attachments = get_posts($args);
			if ($attachments) {
				echo '<ul>';
				// count number of available images and change if less than the specified limit
				if ( count($attachments) < $counter )
					$counter = count($attachments);
				foreach ($attachments as $post) {
					if ( $counter > 0 ) {
						setup_postdata($post);
						$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $post->ID, 'thumbnail', false );
						echo '<li class="media"><a href="'.get_permalink().'" title="'.get_the_title().'" style="background-image: url('.$image[0].');">'.get_the_title().'</a></li>';
						$counter--;
					}
				}
				echo '</ul>';
			}
			?>

    What I am unable to figure out on how to add a custom_post_type that i have created to it.

    Thanks

  • I am guessing you want to get attachments from all posts from your custom post type? Although you mention attached images so maybe you are talking about all attachments on a single custom type post. If you could be a bit more clear, I might have some example code for your needs.

    I got this working on my own.
    Thanks though

    <?php
remove_all_filters('posts_orderby');
query_posts('showposts=3&post_type=image&orderby=rand');
global $more; $more=0;?>

<?php if (have_posts) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); global $more; $more=0;?>

<?php
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'numberposts' => -1, 'post_status' => null, 'orderby' => 'rand', 'post_parent' => $post->ID );
			$attachments = get_posts($args);
			if ($attachments) {
				echo '';
				// count number of available images and change if less than the specified limit
				foreach ($attachments as $post) {
						setup_postdata($post);
						$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $post->ID, 'thumbnail', false );
						echo '<span class="media"><a href="'.get_permalink().'" title="'.get_the_title().'" style="background-image: url('.$image[0].');">'.get_the_title().'</a></span>';;
				}
				echo '';
			}
			?>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
