Custom Taxonomy Array

    I have a loop set up as follows:

    [loop type=gazpost taxonomy=gaztype term=deptintro relation=and taxonomy_2=gazissue term_2=issue-1 relation=and taxonomy_3=gazdept term_3=epd]
    [content]
    [/loop]

    This works no problem. However, each post that matches this criteria may also have assigned to it multiple identical custom fields, e.g. a post may have a custom field “gazettepics”, multiple times, and in each instance, containing a unique URL to an image.

    gazettepics: imgurl1
    gazettepics: imgurl2
    gazettepics: imgurl3

    I’ve tried adding:

    [array gazettepics]
    [field value]
    [/array]

    and

    [array gazettepics]
    [-array inner_array]
    [field value]
    [/-array]
    [/array]

    I’m very clearly not doing this right, but it seems the tools are there to make it work… I’m just not sure how. Any help would be much appreciated!

    After some playing, the latest I have is

    [array]
    [field image=gazettepics in=url]
    [/array]

    This returns only one result however. When I added the debug=true parameter however, I can see the full array for that custom field, as follows:

    [gazettepics] => Array
    (
    [0] => img_url_1.jpg
    [1] => img_url_2.jpg
    [2] => img_url_3.jpg
    [3] => img_url_4.jpg
    [4] => img_url_4.jpg
    )

    If I were hardcoding this into the template in PHP, it’s simple:

    <?php 

$gazpics = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'gazettepics', false);
if( count( $gazpics ) != 0 ) { 

foreach($gazpics as $gazpics) {
echo '<a class="gazpiclink" href="'.$gazpics.'"><img class="gazpicthumb" src='.$gazpics.'></a>';
}
} else { 

}

?>

    But I need to be able to achieve the same thing using the shortcodes from this plugin.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    So now I am managing to output the array with simply:

    [loop type=gazette taxonomy=gaztype term=deptintro relation=and taxonomy_2=gazissue term_2=issue-1 relation=and taxonomy_3=gazdept term_3=epd]
[content]

[array]
[field gazettepics]
[/array]

[/loop]

    This outputs the array as a comma separated string, like so:

    https://example.com/IMG001.jpg, https://example.com/IMG002.jpg, https://example.com/IMG003.jpg, https://example.com/IMG004.jpg

    I’m not sure how I can turn these into images. If I adjust the [field] as follows,

    [array]
[field image=gazettepics in=url]
[/array]

    it works but only retrieves the first image in the array.

    Couldn’t work this out, so used

    [array]
    <div class=”pics”>[field gazettepics]</div>
    [/array]

    And split the string and wrapped them in an image tag with JS/JQuery. Works well enough.
