PS: The closest I’ve got is this
<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url($post->ID); ?>
which displays the url of the image … but all I want is the file name, not the url.
Thanks.
Here are some examples of how to get image data on the attachment page:
echo 'image id = ' . $post->ID;
echo 'image title = ' . $post->post_title;
echo 'image caption = ' . $post->post_excerpt;
echo 'image description = ' . $post->post_content;
echo 'image alt = ' . get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true);
$imageArray = wp_get_attachment_image_src($post->ID, 'full', false);
echo 'image uri =' . $imageArray[0]; // 0 is the URI
echo 'image width =' . $imageArray[1]; // 1 is the width
echo 'image height =' . $imageArray[2]; // 2 is the height

Thank you for your help. I tried the first line, but it produced the wp ID of the image, not the file name.
<?php echo echo 'image id = ' . $post->ID; ?>
correct? That didn’t give me the .jpg name, but the id wp assigns on upload.
I have a feeling that this code
$imageArray = wp_get_attachment_image_src($post->ID, 'full', false);
does what I need, but I don’t know how to put that in the image.php file in such a way that it produces anything. I’m not a php person, I’m a copy and paster, sorry.
What I want to display, for ordering purposes, is the .jpg file name of the image.
Thanks
To get the filename you could try this:
$metadata = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $post->ID );
if(isset($metadata['file']) && $metadata['file']) {
echo 'filename = ' . $metadata['file'];
}
Hey Keesiemeijer
Thanks .. closer! That produces the last 2 folders of the url path, plus the file name
Arrayfilename = 2013/01/07_AUG09711.jpg
where 2013/01/ are the year/month names of the directory/url. All I want to display is
07_Aug0971.jpg
which is the filename. Here’s how I inserted the code:
<?php echo $metadata = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $post->ID );
if(isset($metadata['file']) && $metadata['file']) {
echo 'filename = ' . $metadata['file'];
}
?>
Is that correct?
Like I said, I’m a hacker.. I hack and stab and snip and cut at it til it bleeds red. 🙂
And how do I insert the code so it doesn’t say [i]”Arrayfilename = “[/i]?
Thanks so much for your help.
Cheers
Aha, I see. Hopefully this will work:
echo 'attachement file name = ' . basename(get_attached_file( $post->ID ));
And how do I insert the code so it doesn’t say [i]”Arrayfilename = “[/i]?
Don’t use echo when setting the variable:
// wrong
echo $metadata = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $post->ID );
// right
$metadata = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $post->ID );
Ha ha .. Dude (assuming you’re a “dude”) 🙂 .. you’re a genius!
Thanks so much. I really appreciate your help and patience.
Cheers
You’re welcome. I’m glad you’ve got it resolved.
It seems it was not a simple question after all 🙂
Interensante contribution, just what I was looking for. But I can not hacrlo work.
<?php echo $metadata = wp_get_attachment_metadata( $post->ID ); ?>
I add the code below to my single.php but I see nothing in the post.
It may be due to my function.php?
I want to get filenames to show below the thumbs on gallery and on the lightbox. Im using builtin gallery of wordpress. Where do I put the code? Can i show just the name and not the extension of the file?
