Get Posts Permalink From post_type=attachment

Hello!
So what I'm doing here is grabbing images attached to the post. Currently those images are linking to the attachment page itself. I need it to link to the actual post they belong to.

So instead of the image linking to http://site.com/post-page/post_page_attachment_jpg/, I need it to link to http://site.com/post-page/

My current code for this is below:





<?php

$attargs = array(

'post_type' => 'attachment',

'post_mime_type' => 'image',

'post_parent' => $post->ID);



$attachments = get_children($attargs);

if ($attachments) {

	foreach ($attachments as $post) {

?>

		<a style="float:left; margin-right:16px; width:120px; height:120px; overflow:hidden; display:block;" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img style="width:165px;" src="<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url($post->ID); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="staff-img" /></a>

		

		<?php break; //only display first image

	}

}

?>

Lew Ayotte says:

Try

$permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);

Also,

don't do:

foreach ($attachments as $post) {

foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {

That way you don't overwrite the $post variable... you'll need to adjust your other code too.

So basically the whole thing would look like:

<?php



$attargs = array(



'post_type' => 'attachment',



'post_mime_type' => 'image',



'post_parent' => $post->ID);







$attachments = get_children($attargs);



if ($attachments) {



	foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {



?>



		<a style="float:left; margin-right:16px; width:120px; height:120px; overflow:hidden; display:block;" href="<?php the_permalink($post->ID); ?>"><img style="width:165px;" src="<?php echo wp_get_attachment_url($attachment->ID); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="staff-img" /></a>



		<?php break; //only display first image



	}



}



?>
