I've created a home.php to create a "static" homepage for my site. My client wants to be able to manage certain images that display on the homepage via the WordPress admin.
I could create a home page or post and define custom fields - but I'd prefer to create a separate page/post for each image element so that my client can use the image uploader in WP admin, rather than have to enter a URL into a custom field.
I've found a get_the_image plugin which seems to do something like this - but I don't want to use this outside the loop.
e.g. get the image attached to post/page X, get the image attached to post/page Y etc.
I'd like to use this functionality a few times on the homepage for internal banners etc.
If anyone could help that would be great.
