Genesis Loop for Custom Post Type Images

[Stefaan5]

Hello,

Anyone know how to create a loop to show just the images of a post_type?
The post type was made using te plugins Advenced Custom Fields & Custom Post Type UI.

I thought this would've been enough, but it deffinetely didn't work :S:

add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'custom_loop' );
function custom_loop() {
$args = ( array(
'post_type' => 'sponsor-images',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'order' => 'asc'
) );

genesis_custom_loop( $args );
wp_reset_query();
}

P.S.: I'm new to Genesis, if anyone could point me to the right direction of finding some useful tutorials for Genesis functions that would be awesome.

Thanks!

Thanks for the help Victor.

I've been trying to figure this out for days but I'm not sure what to do next though.
I can't get the values to loop.
I'm trying to output the images from the field 'sponsor-image' from the custom post type 'sponsor-images'. This in the genesis_entry_footer location.

Do I use the WP_query on the front-page? Which arguments should I use then?

Regards,

Stefaan

The code you have above will never generate a loop. A loop is specifically for displaying posts on a page and modifications to the loop are made in the pre_get_posts filter. If I'm understanding what you want to do, you've created a custom post type and added ACF fields to it.

1. Do the ACF fields contain links to the sponsor images?
2. How many sponsor images are attached to each single CPT? Is it variable number or is there a 1-1 relationship?
3. How many images do you want to display in each post's Entry Footer?

Displaying ACF content in a widget area is a whole other ballgame and nothing like your trying to do with your code.

That's right, I've created a CPT through CPT UI-plugin and a field through ACF-plugin.
These do not have to be placed in a widget.

1. The CPT 'sponsor-images' has a field 'sponsor-image'. Which has a value of one image.
I want to be able to add sponsor images and remove them through the WP-CMS in the CPT 'sponsor-images'. The images do not need a link.

2. The CPT has 8 sponsor images for the moment. But I want to be able to remove and add to this through the CMS.
The field contains only 1 image per sponsor.

3.This only has to be displayed on the front-page.php, preferably in the location genesis_after_entry.
The amount of images that should be displayed are the amount of sponsors created in the CMS.

I've gotten it to half-work with a forreach loop with the following code I got from the WP-forums.
However, when I add more sponsors, the new images aren't displayed anymore.
=============================================================================================
add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'image_looper' );

function image_looper(){
$post_type = 'sponsor-images';
global $wpdb;
$where = get_posts_by_author_sql( $post_type );
$query = "SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts p where p.post_type = 'attachment' AND (p.post_mime_type LIKE 'image/%') AND (p.post_status = 'inherit') AND p.post_parent IN (SELECT $wpdb->posts.ID FROM $wpdb->posts ) ORDER BY p.post_date DESC";
$results = $wpdb->get_results( $query );

if ( $results ) {
foreach ( (array) $results as $image ) {
$url = get_attachment_link($image->post_parent);
$thumb = wp_get_attachment_thumb_url( $image->ID );
$alt = get_post_meta($image->ID, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true);
echo '<li class="SponsorImg">';
}
}
}

I think I made this more complex than I should have.
I was able to solve this issue through a different approach, using a simple foreach loop with a conditional.
This is the code:

//Add Sponsors through foreach-loop
add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'add_img_loop');

function add_img_loop(){
echo '<ul id="sponsorimg-container">';
$sponsorimg1 = get_field('sponsor_1');
$sponsorimg2 = get_field('sponsor_2');
$sponsorimg3 = get_field('sponsor_3');
$sponsorimg4 = get_field('sponsor_4');
$sponsorimg5 = get_field('sponsor_5');
$sponsorimg6 = get_field('sponsor_6');
$sponsorimg7 = get_field('sponsor_7');
$sponsorimg8 = get_field('sponsor_8');
$sponsorimgarr = array( $sponsorimg1, $sponsorimg2, $sponsorimg3, $sponsorimg4, $sponsorimg5, $sponsorimg6, $sponsorimg7, $sponsorimg8);

foreach ( $sponsorimgarr as $sponsorimage){
if( !empty ($sponsorimage) ){
echo '<li class="SponsorImg">';
}
}
echo '';
}

Besides using the foreach loop, the following worked for a new Post type using the WP_query.
I was looking to create images with a url going to their respective pages.
Meaning I had had to create a post-type with the title, featured image and an advanced custom field for the custom url.

//Create loop for custom post type 'book'
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action('genesis_loop', 'CPT_loop');

function CPT_loop(){

$args = array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'books',
'order' => 'ASC',
'order_by' => 'menu_order',
'paged' => $paged
);

$loop = new WP_Query( $args );

if ( $loop->have_posts() ) :
echo '<ul id="book-grid">';
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
?> <li class="bookImg" style="background-image: url(<?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>);">" class="overlay"> <h2><?php the_title() ?></h2>
<?php endwhile;
echo '';
do_action( 'genesis_after_endwhile' );
endif;

wp_reset_postdata();
}
