Echo and limit number of images

[Peter Knight]

Hi guys.

I know how to echo an Images field from a template called Portfolio and limit the echo to 5 results (5 pages)

$imagePages = $pages->find("template=Portfolio, limit=5");  

This assumes I have more than 1 page based on the template 'Portfiolio'.

But what if I have a single page based on Portfolio and only want the first 5 images from that single page?

The following doesn't work as limit applies to the pages and not the images field:

<?php

$imagePages = $pages->find("template=Portfolio, limit=5");  
	
 foreach($imagePages as $i) {	

  foreach($i->Images as $image) {
					
   $thumb = $image->size(100, 100);
   echo "<img src='{$thumb->url}'>";
   }
}
?>

Hi Peter,

You can easily limit the images like this:

foreach($i->Images->find("limit=5") as $image) {

Adrian - thanks. Been tying myself up in knots with this one.

Trying to integrate with jQuery Masonary grid fried my Friday evening brain.

Working now

I hear ya - sometimes the brain reaches boiling point and I swear it just goes to mush

I see masonry mentioned quite a bit around here, but just to add another option in case folks haven't seen it, I really like Freewall (http://vnjs.net/www/project/freewall/)

Just tried a few similar jQuery plugin (including Freewall) to substitute the Uikit dynamic grid on a site but finally I went back to Uikit. It is very basic but easy to use.

They're both great masonary alternatives. Thanks for the share
