Image Function Using Custom Field Name NOT Number in Array

[kimmiemcc]

This a question regarding Genesis functions to add images to a post (custom post type to be exact). I'm uploading images to a custom post type using Advanced Custom Fields. I found this great Genesis image tutorial http://designsbynickthegeek.com/tutorials/genesis-explained-image-functions but I still have a question. Is there a way for me to pull images by custom field name instead of the order in which they were attached to the post (see the 1 in the array below, which is attaching the first uploaded image other than the featured image)?

The code below belongs to a custom post type which the site owner will use to add a few images via the WordPress editor. The problem is that he may not upload the images in the order that the fields appear in wp-admin, so he could get unexpected results that way. If I could replace the 1 in the array (or 2 or 3 for the additional images) with the custom field name (i.e. award_1, award_2, award_3) then there will be no chance of the wrong image displaying.

Also, the number in the array is displaying images which remain attached to the post in the media library even though they may have been deleted via wp-admin after upload. They are still counted in the order in which they were uploaded to the post if someone doesn't take the trip to the media library to delete them there, too. (I get this, owner won't.)

Here is the code for displaying the first image attached:

function rating_award_1() {
if ( is_singular('profile') && genesis_get_custom_field('rating_award_1') )
echo '<div id="rating-award-1"><h4>Recognition</h4> '. genesis_get_image( array(
'size' => 'full',
'num' => 1,
'attr' => array (
'class' => 'alignmiddle'
) ) ) .'</div>';
}
