 * Hello all,
 * I’m trying to create a dynamic carousel for a Bootstrap theme without the use
   of a plugin so I can customize it more.
 * Based on the following code it should load all the posts’ attached images and
   put them in the slider:
 * The only thing I have trouble with is that the active slide should be set as ‘
   active’ and that the indicators should work. The static version is found here:
   [http://getbootstrap.com/examples/carousel/](http://getbootstrap.com/examples/carousel/)
 *  ` <div id=”myCarousel” class=”carousel slide” data-ride=”carousel”>
    <!– Indicators–
   > <ol class=”carousel-indicators”> <li data-target=”#myCarousel” data-slide-to
   =”0″ class=”active”></li> <li data-target=”#myCarousel” data-slide-to=”1″></li
   > <li data-target=”#myCarousel” data-slide-to=”2″></li> </ol> <div class=”carousel-
   inner”>
 *  <?php
    $argsThumb = array( ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_parent’
   => $post->ID, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘post_status’ => null ); $attachments
   = get_posts($argsThumb); if ($attachments) { foreach ($attachments as $attachment){
 *  //echo apply_filters(‘the_title’, $attachment->post_title);
    echo ‘<div class
   =”item active”>’; echo ‘<div class=”container”>’; echo ‘<img src=”‘.wp_get_attachment_url(
   $attachment->ID, ‘thumbnail’, false, false).'” style=”width: 100%; height: 400px;”/
   >’; echo ‘</div>’; echo ‘</div>’; } } ?>
 *  </div> <!– carousel – inner –>
    <a class=”left carousel-control” href=”#myCarousel”
   data-slide=”prev”><span class=”glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left”></span></a> 
   <a class=”right carousel-control” href=”#myCarousel” data-slide=”next”><span 
   class=”glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right”></span></a> </div><!– /.carousel –>`
 * Thanks 🙂

 * Nobody? I only need these to be dynamic, the number of slides, determined by 
   the number of attachments, and the ‘active’ status (just one slide per time, 
   like the example)
