PHP echo in dynamic data (image_desciption)

How To
1

Hi all,

Hoping someone with more PHP knowledge can help me echo an image description:

Using images in a query loop, I am using a text element with dynamic data ‘output PHP function’.

The function is a WP function of $image_description

I have tried many different ways but cannot seem to get it to output, variations I have tried include:

  • {echo:$image_description}
  • {echo:image_description}
  • {echo:$image_description (‘’)}
  • {echo:get_field($image_description)}
  • {echo:get_image_id($image_description)}
  • {echo:returnValues($image_description)}

And many other combinations too! :sweat_smile:

Anyone know where I have messed up? haha

Many thanks

Mick

The WordPress function is wp_get_attachement_caption

You can try * {echo:wp_get_attachement_caption} maybe you don´t need to pass post ID if you are inside the post itself.

Hope this can help you

Hi @rjaureg

Many thanks for the reply, but no luck, unfortunately. Again I am not overly sure if that function is for the caption and not the description, but I did try a couple of different variations of it just incase:

{echo:wp_get_attachment_caption}
{echo:wp_get_attachment_caption($image_description)}
{echo:wp_get_attachement_caption(image_description)}

But still no joy!

Wordpress has this function wp_get_attachment_image( $id ) but it returns an array so cannot be used as you want to get the description.

You should use this code for that


   $attachment_meta = wp_get_attachment_images['attachment_id']);
   echo $attachment_meta['description'];

On the other side, $image_description is a variable that you are using on your site?

The way Bricks buider use output function is like this:

It accepts arguments, with or without single quotes, like so:
{echo:get_the_date(‘Y-m-d’, 55)}`

This echoes the date of the post 55 formatted to `Y-m-d’

But I don´t know how to pass a variable which whould be a very useful thing,

Maybe someone can help with this, sorry …
