I’ve got one question though. We’re now outputting all gallery images into a list, which we’re then showing in a slider function. All good – means we don’t have to use any shortcodes or insert them into the post.

Occasionally, however, we might want to insert an image into the regular content and not retrieve it into the slider function. Is it somehow possible to modify the attachment_toolbox so it only retrieves those images which are NOT inserted into the actual post? That way, we could upload images for the slider, but still insert images into the post without them ending up in the slider as well.

Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated!

$args = array(
       'post_type' => 'attachment',
       'order' => 'ASC',
       'post_mime_type' => 'image',
       'numberposts' => 1,
       'post_status' => null,
       'post_parent' => $post->ID
       );
$attachments = get_posts($args);

if ($attachments) {
       foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
              ?>
              <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
              <? echo wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment->ID, 'full' ); ?></a><?
       }
}

              <a href="">
              ID, 'thumbnail' );
              ?></a><?
       }
}

One question that doesn’t seem to be addressed in these comments so far:
how does this work on WP pages as opposed to posts. I would like to use this technique on a custom page template (page.php etc) – everything here talks about index.php, single.php and others that show posts – not pages.

Pages do have image attachments and are part of the image gallery – can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Then, i will use above attachment technique to call it… and will more managed..

it not practical if we must [insert to post] uploaded image to make attachment….

Any plugin or tricks for this…. to make attachment..???
TQ in advance…

Is there a way to make it return the text of an image’s caption, as set in WordPress’ media library?

I am creating a gallery that does not show the thumbnails – instead it just includes a link to the first image (by menu order) at the bottom of the post. I figured that it would be easy enough to do, but this tutorial was the only way it would work. Thank you!
