adeibizai mustve tried about 10 different ways of doing this without success
i have a page using a custom template to show as the "home" page
grabbing the last post from different categories etc is fine using
<?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=10&posts_per_page=1'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>etc
problem has come when ive tried to grab the associated image and video urls so that i can wrap them in a player
i've found examples of running through an array to output which has worked ok but has displayed every post that has a video attachment eg this within the while loop:
$docs =& get_children( 'post_parent=the_ID()&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=video/quicktime' );
if ( empty($docs) ) {
$attachment_url = "#";
} else {
foreach ( (array) $docs as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
$attachment_url =& wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment_id );
echo $attachment_url;
}
}can seem to figure out how to restrict the search on attachments to 1
