Showing the attachment for a page?

Question

I have the following function, it displays the attachments of a post, however it shows the full size, how can i show a limited number of attachments and also a smaller version like a thumbnail.

function page_thumbnails() {
$argsThumb = array(
    'order'          => 'DESC',
    'post_type'      => 'attachment',
    'post_parent'    => $post->ID,
    'post_mime_type' => 'image',
    'post_status'    => null
);
$attachments = get_posts($argsThumb);
if ($attachments) {
    foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
        apply_filters('the_title', $attachment->post_title);
        echo '<img src="'.wp_get_attachment_url($attachment->ID, 'post-thumbnail', false, false).'" />';
    }

}
}
add_shortcode('page-thumbs', 'page_thumbnails');

Answer 1

Use,

wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, $size);

Specify the size parameter as follows;

$size (string/array) (optional)

Size of the image shown for an image attachment: either a string keyword (thumbnail, medium, large or full) or a 2-item array representing width and height in pixels, e.g. array(32,32). As of Version 2.5, this parameter does not affect the size of media icons, which are always shown at their original size.

Excerpted from the WordPress Codex on wp_get_attachment_image_src

Your final code might look like,

echo '<img src="'.wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment->ID, 'small').'" />';

Or

echo '<img src="'.wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment->ID, array(100, 100).'" />';

If you want to specify via array.
