$15
echo the number of images attached to a page in the media gallery

Attached you'll see an image that shows a custom media metabox to upload images. It uses the WP media manager and is part of WPAlchemy's metabox class (farinspace.com). You'll notice the text "There are XX images in your gallery." I'd love to replace the XX with the either, 0 if there are no images, and the number of images attached if there are any. I'd most likely wrap these images in span tags with an appropriate class so that I can style them, but that's about it.

Any help is appreciated.

      It's using the WPAlchemy Class from farinspace.com, but here is the code to display the metabox:

      <?php global $custom_media_access; ?>
      
<div class="my_meta_control metabox">
      
		<?php
      
		$attachments = (array('post_type' => 'attachment' ));
      
		$count = count($attachments);
      
		?>
      
		
      
	<?php $custom_media_access->setGroupName('nn')->setInsertButtonLabel('Insert')->setTab('type'); ?>
      
	<div class="media_mb">
      
		<p><?php echo $custom_media_access->getButton(array('label' => 'Add or Edit Images')); ?> Your Gallery has XX images in the Slide Show</p>
      
	</div>
      
	
      
</div>


      Let me know if you need something more.

      Try this:

      <?php global $custom_media_access, $post; ?>
      
<div class="my_meta_control metabox">
      
		<?php
      
		$attachments = get_posts(array('post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_parent' => $post->ID ));
      
		$count = count($attachments);
      
		?>
      
		
      
	<?php $custom_media_access->setGroupName('nn')->setInsertButtonLabel('Insert')->setTab('type'); ?>
      
	<div class="media_mb">
      
		<p><?php echo $custom_media_access->getButton(array('label' => 'Add or Edit Images')); ?> Your Gallery has <?php echo $count ?> images in the Slide Show</p>
      
	</div>
      
	
      
</div>

      for some reason, and this where i was having the problem, is that it echos "1" even though currently there are 3 images currently attached to that page

      Could I get wp-admin access to the site you tried this on, just to confirm?

      Utkarsh Kukreti says:

      Try this instead for the attachments = line.


      		$attachments = get_posts(array('post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_parent' => $post->ID, 'post_status' => 'inherit' ));
