No biggey,
The Q: can I have the same variables within two different foreach-loops?
A: Yes

Q: Is the if ( $id == true ) {} in the foreach a valid approach?
A: this says, if variable $id is true, do something – so I think this is valid 🙂
But a better way may be if( !empty($id) ) that says, if the variable is not (the !) empty, do something.

Let me konw ^^

Peace & Love

hmm… the break; seemes to make the foreach only display one image with a limited number (get_post_gallery_ids($post->ID,4);), likeso:

<?php 

$galleryarray = get_post_gallery_ids($post->ID,4);

foreach ($galleryarray as $id) { 

if ( $id == true ) {

$imagesize = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id, 'xsmall' ); 

$attachment_meta = wp_get_attachment( $id );

?>

<figure id="<?php echo $id; ?>" data-name="<?php echo $id; ?>" style="background-image: url(<?php echo $imagesize[0]; ?>);">

</figure>

<?php break; }

} ?>

So I removed the break; from this loop…

But without a limitation number: get_post_gallery_ids($post->ID);
the break; works!

Is it important to have the break; or can I just exclude it from both foreach loops?

Any takers?

So, now i’m only looking for an extra eye on the php, is it valid? It works, np, but all feedback is welcome!

For an example of what is possible (and what I did), see the code, and in relevans with my question – is my ‘if’ in the foreach followed by ‘break;’ a good way to go?

<?php 

$galleryarray = get_post_gallery_ids($post->ID);

foreach ($galleryarray as $id) { 

if ( $id == true ) {

$imagesize = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id, 'medium' );

$attachment_meta = wp_get_attachment( $id );

$media_caption = $attachment_meta['caption'];

$media_description = $attachment_meta['description'];

?>

	<figure id="<?php echo $id; ?>" data-name="<?php echo $id; ?>" style="background-image: url(<?php echo $imagesize[0]; ?>);">

		<?php if ( $media_caption == true || $media_description == true ) { ?>

			<input id="info<?php echo $id; ?>" class="nav-check" type="checkbox">

			<label for="info<?php echo $id; ?>" class="nav-button info" data-title="Show Info"></label>

			<figcaption>

			<?php

			if ( $media_caption == true ) { ?>

				<h3><?php echo $media_caption; ?></h3>

			<?php } 

			if ( $media_description == true ) { ?>

				<p><?php echo $media_description; ?></p>

			<?php } ?>

			</figcaption>

		<?php } ?>

	</figure>

<?php break;

}

} ?>

Two down, one to go! 😀

So, you want to get image meta like title, caption, description or whatnot?

Then you need to add following in functions php (code is regardles of anything, use it to whatever image from the db – everywhere):

function wp_get_attachment( $attachment_id ) {

	$attachment = get_post( $attachment_id );

	return array(
	    'alt' => get_post_meta( $attachment->ID, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true ),
	    'caption' => $attachment->post_excerpt,
	    'description' => $attachment->post_content,
	    'href' => get_permalink( $attachment->ID ),
	    'src' => $attachment->guid,
	    'title' => $attachment->post_title
	);

}

But hey! How to display it?

So, once again I edited the code and added a variable with our $id, then select the info I want to retrieve, like:

<?php 

$galleryarray = get_post_gallery_ids($post->ID);

foreach ($galleryarray as $id) {
	// select your image size
	$imagesize = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $id, 'xsmall' );
	// get all the meta with our $id
	$attachment_meta = wp_get_attachment( $id );

	?>

	<figure style="background-image: url(<?php echo $imagesize[0]; ?>);">

		<a data-name="<?php echo $id; ?>" id="<?php echo $id; ?>" href="<?php the_permalink(); echo '#' . $id; ?>">

		</a>

		<figcaption><h3>

		<?php
		// I wish to display the image Title, so...
		echo $attachment_meta['title']; ?>

		</h3></figcaption>

	</figure>

<?php } ?>

PAO! Ninjaslap.

Question to creator of plugin,
Is there a better way? Or simply integrate the function for the plugin?
I mean, the meta for every image is supernice to have handy 😀

And do someone know how to not display -anything- if the called array is empty with the foreach?

All best, /ninjaskor
