Sounds like you just want to loop your post type instead try this code:
$myquery = array('post_type' => 'YOUR POST TYPE', 'posts_per_page' => -1);
$mydata = get_posts($myquery);
echo('<ul>');
foreach($mydata as $dk => $dv){
$meta = get_post_meta($dv->ID);
//print_r($meta);
echo('<li><a href="' . get_permalink($dv->ID) . '">' . $dv->post_title . '</a></li>');
}
echo('</ul>');
This should output your post type with links.
If you noticed the //print_r if you take out the // it will show all the custom field data for that post.
So you could add the image in as:
echo('<li><img src="'.$meta['myimg'].'" /><a href="' . get_permalink($dv->ID) . '">' . $dv->post_title . '</a></li>');
If might be your image field is a number in which case you want this:
echo('<li><img src="'.wp_get_attachment_url($meta['myimg']).'" /><a href="' . get_permalink($dv->ID) . '">' . $dv->post_title . '</a></li>');

Hello. First of all, thank you for taking your time to help me.
Sounds like you just want to loop your post type instead try this code:…
This was, indeed, the first approach I took, and it worked like a charm.
The problem is that all of a sudden, my customer has decided that he wanted the “menu” entries to be sortable in the back-end.
This is why I switched to the core wp_nav instead, so that he could arrange the entries whatever he wanted.
Hmmm well you could always add an ‘order’ custom field in the post type but i guess its not as elegant.
You could use a hybrid approach maybe. Let him have the menu then do the above in a more roundabout way:
$menu = wp_get_nav_menu_items('YOUR MENU');
print_r that and it gives you an array of post objects you can then just loop over them:
echo('<ul>');
foreach($menu as $mk => $mv){
$meta = get_post_meta($mv->ID);
echo('<li><a href="' . get_permalink($mv->ID) . '">' . $mv->post_title . '</a></li>');
}
echo('</ul>');
