Creating my own portfolio custom-type

Question

I'm using WordPress to build my photography portfolio. So far I've created a Custom Post Type called session for each photo session, and I've managed to list all the sessions with each thumbnail in the home page.

Now, however, I have to create the content of each session. I'd like to keep it simple:

• The title
• A small description (if any).
• A set of pictures, that should appear straightaway in the post.

The problem is that I don't know how to face the inclusion of the images. Looks like using a gallery is not what I'm looking for, because it generates a set of thumbnails, and I just want the images in full size in the post.

What's the best way of doing this? The ideal case would be to have something like the_images_of_this_post() so I could place them at will from the template file.

Thanks!

Attachments are post objects, with post_parent set to the ID of the post they belong to (ie your 'session'). The WP Codex page on wp_get_attachment_image() has an example almost exactly like what you're trying to do: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_image#Display_all_images_as_a_list Make sure that you replace the post_parent parameter in that example with the ID of the current session (which will probably be get_the_ID(), though it depends on how your loop works).
