   Does anyone know how to create a "loop" of all photos in a post?

   Thanks :)

   Look at the first example.

   You could use a plugin for this, which is much simpler:
   - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-the-image/

   reuben,

   (my post has 2 images)

   When I use that code within the loop on my single.php, I get 4 images that have nothing to do with this post.

   Any ideas?

   pavvy,
   I am not sure that plugin returns an array of the images

   If you have something like this, you'll get all the images
   $images =& get_children( 'post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image' );
   add post_parent parameter

   yup, I just figured that out (didn't have the id). Now, I'm trying to get it to give me just the url, rather than printing it to the screen. I have:

   $images =& get_children( 'post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&post_parent=' . get_the_ID() );
   
   if ( empty($images) ) {
   	// no attachments here
   } else {
   	foreach ( $images as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
   		echo wp_get_attachment_link($attachment_id, $size = 'thumbnail', $permalink = true, $icon = false);
   	}
   }

   but it's still adding the image tag to the page, rather than echoing the url

   Change this
   echo wp_get_attachment_link($attachment_id, $size = 'thumbnail', $permalink = false, $icon = false);
   to
   

   echo wp_get_attachment_link($attachment_id, 'thumbnail', false, false);

   and clear the cache then test the page.

   when I do that, it actually still "prints" the thumbnails to the screen.

   I cleared the cache, did a forced refresh and no luck. I now have this:

   $images =& get_children( 'post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&post_parent=' . get_the_ID() );
   
   if ( empty($images) ) {
   	// no attachments here
   } else {
   	foreach ( $images as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
   		echo wp_get_attachment_link($attachment_id, 'thumbnail', false, false);
   	}
   }

   got it to work with this (I know it's not elegant):

   $images =& get_children( 'post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&post_parent=' . get_the_ID() );

   if ( empty($images) ) {
   // no attachments here
   } else {
   foreach ( $images as $attachment_id => $attachment ) {
   $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, $size, $icon );
   echo $image[0];
   }
   }

    unfortunately, I can't show you the site, but it's a theme I'm working with and it's using the theme test plugin, so you can't see it without being logged it.

    thank you very much for the help
