WordPress attachments in query_posts…

    Morning,

    I need some guidance on some WP code. I’m wondering if it’s possible to take this code (which is grabbing all the images from the posts across my site and dumping them out):

    $args = array( 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'numberposts' => -1, 'post_status' => null, 'post_parent' => null );
    $attachments = get_posts( $args );
    if ($attachments) {
	foreach ( $attachments as $post ) {
		setup_postdata($post);
		the_attachment_link($post->ID, true);
		the_excerpt();
	}
    }

    and use the query_posts(); function in WP instead so I could create some pagination for all the images.

    Thanks in advance,
    R

    Try it with a new WP_query. get_posts() makes use of the WP_Query class to fetch posts.

    I seem to have got something working with this below, but it’s pulling in one post, infinitely (see here: http://goo.gl/4IlWG)

    <?php $ID = get_the_ID();
	$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
	query_posts("order=DESC&orderby=post_date&posts_per_page=8&paged=$paged"); while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

		<?php
		$args = array( 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_status' => null, 'post_parent' => null, );
		$attachments = get_posts( $args );
		if ($attachments) {
			foreach ( $attachments as $post ) {
				setup_postdata($post);
				the_attachment_link($post->ID, true);
				the_excerpt();
			}
		}
		?>

	<?php endwhile; ?>

    Try it with this:

    foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {
				//setup_postdata($post);
				the_attachment_link($attachment->ID, true);
				//the_excerpt();
			}

    Thanks for your help with this, keesiemeijer.

    Still the same problem – you can see it on that site again.

    The default view is working so it must be something in your javascript.

    It’s the grid view I’m looking at (http://itsfoolsgold.com/grid/) the default and grid views both use different templates.
