Loop and add Specific Categories and Products Images

Question

Thanks to Rafael Marques, I have a list of Products and Categories organized based on different created categories. I also have 5 different Custom Page Templates. Now I would like to display the product images (only images, because this is just an image gallery) in each of the pages. The page template looks like:

<?php 
/**
Template Name: Gallery Art
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="scrool" class="clearfix">
    <div class="gal item">
        <a class="group4" href="img/gallery/Beauty/Beauty 1.jpg">
            <img src="img/gallery/Beauty/gal/Beauty 1.jpg" alt="Ghazal Photo" width="231" height="149" />
        </a>
    </div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

How can I do this based on categories? For example, let's say I have a page called Art and powered based on Art_Page template. How can I add all images (products) to only this template, which is categorized under artCat?

In your functions.php

function show_all_thumbs() {
    global $post;
    $post = get_post($post);
    $images =& get_children( 'post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&output=ARRAY_N&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC&post_parent='.$post->post_parent);
    if($images) {
        foreach( $images as $imageID => $imagePost ){
            unset($the_b_img);
            $the_b_img = wp_get_attachment_image($imageID, 'thumbnail', false);
            $thumblist .= '<a href="'.get_attachment_link($imageID).'">'.$the_b_img.'</a>';
        }
    }
    return $thumblist;
}

In your page template file:

$loop = new WP_Query(
    array(
        'post_type'         => 'demo', // or whatever is called your custom post type
        'cat'               => 5, // or whatever is the "id" for your custom post type category
        'posts_per_page'    => 10
    )
);
if ( $loop->have_posts() ) :
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); 
    echo show_all_thumbs();
endwhile;
endif;

Example for Featured Image version:

$loop = new WP_Query(
    array(
        'post_type'         => 'demo', // or whatever is called your custom post type
        'cat'               => 5, // or whatever is the "id" for your custom post type category
        'posts_per_page'    => 10
    )
);
if ( $loop->have_posts() ) :
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); 
    if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
    the_post_thumbnail();
} 
endwhile;
endif;
