Get the URL from the image I inserted in the HTML Editor.

[chrisburton]

I am using the Attachments Plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/attachments) to use for a slideshow-like effect.

Result: Process: 1 2 3

Now what I’m trying to do is make it so the image I insert in the HTML editor (post_content) will link to 1 and the attachments from the plugin will apply to the rest. However, depending on the number of attachments I have, should reflect on the numbers outputted.

Example (Let’s say I have 4 attachments)
Process: 1 (post_content image) 2 3 4 5 (attachment images)

Here is the code I have so far that reflects the attachments. What I need help with is how to display the URL of the post_content image to apply to 1.

if( function_exists( 'attachments_get_attachments' ) )

{

$attachments = attachments_get_attachments();

$total_attachments = count( $attachments );

if( $total_attachments ) : ?>

Process:

I believe I have solved this. Not exactly sure if it will work overall since I only tested on one page. Perhaps more advanced WP developers can chime in.

Here is the following code:

if( function_exists( 'attachments_get_attachments' ) )

{

$attachments = attachments_get_attachments();

$total_attachments = count( $attachments );

if( $total_attachments ) : ?>

Process:


if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {

$large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'full');

echo '
';

echo '1';

}

?>

And it doesn’t work. Without noticing the code right away, it uses the post_thubmnail, not the actual full image which is what I need.

Not a wordpress guy, but try this:

if( function_exists( 'attachments_get_attachments' ) )

{

$attachments = attachments_get_attachments();

$total_attachments = count( $attachments );

if( $total_attachments ) : ?>

Process:


if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {

$large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );

echo '
';

echo '1';

}

?>

@wolfcry911 What that does is give the permalink to the post not the image file (which is what I need). The following code below is what I believe to be the issue however I don’t know how to call the image I inserted inside the editor.

$large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id('full') );

In case anyone doesn’t understand. ALL I need is to get the URL of the image I inserted into the HTML editor in the backend. I believe in order to get that, I need to use wp_get_attachment_src however I’m not sure how to go about getting the ID dynamically.

End result:

Using a function, I believe I have solved the issue.

I placed this code in my functions.php file that allows me to grab the very first image in a post.

// CREATES A FUNCTION TO GRAB FIRST IMAGE OF A POST

function catch_that_image() {

global $post, $posts;

$first_img = '';

ob_start();

ob_end_clean();

$output = preg_match_all('//i', $post->post_content, $matches);

$first_img = $matches [1] [0];



if(empty($first_img)){ //Defines a default image

$first_img = "/images/default.jpg";

}

return $first_img;

}

From there I can echo the URL using the following

The end result would look like this

$meta = $custom_metabox->the_meta('description', TRUE);

if (!empty($meta)):

echo '
'.$meta.'
'; ?>







$attachments = attachments_get_attachments();

$total_attachments = count( $attachments );

if( $total_attachments ) : ?>

Process:

"; ?>
'; ?>
