Get attachments only for this post

Question

I have the following code:

      <?php
      while (have_posts()) : the_post();
          if(get_the_title() == 'Archive') query_posts('posts_per_page=1&cat=1');
          $category = get_the_category();
          if ($category[0]->name) echo '<h1>'.$category[0]->name.'</h1>';

           $attachments = get_children( array('post_parent' => get_the_ID(), 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' =>'image') );
           foreach ( $attachments as $attachment_id => $attachment ): 
           $image = wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment_id, 'medium' );
            echo $image."<br />";
           endforeach;

          the_content();
      endwhile;
     ?>
      <?php edit_post_link('Click here in order to edit this page'); ?>
        </div><!--END /.text-->

This code is in page.php where by default I list a post.I want to get the attachements only for that post query_posts('posts_per_page=1&cat=1'); now it also get the attachements for the page., how can I do this?

Answer 1

Try this using the get_children function:

global $post;
$args = array(
    'numberposts' => -1,
    'order'=> 'ASC',
    'post_mime_type' => 'image',
    'post_parent' => $post->ID,
    'post_status' => 'any',
    'post_type' => 'attachment'
);
$attachments = get_children($args);

Answer 2

what i understood from your code is, you are trying to get the attachment from the particular post,

it can be easily done using query_post,

query_posts( 'attachment_id=5' )

where '5' is the post ID
