Show attachement title WordPress

Michael Fields answers:

You need to use the setup_postdata() function before using template tags in the loop. Please try something like this:
<?php
function my_attachment_galleries($postid=0, $size='thumbnail', $attributes='') {
if ($postid<1) $postid = get_the_ID();
if ($images = get_children(array(
'post_parent' => $postid,
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'menu_order ID',
'numberposts' => 0,
'post_mime_type' => 'image',)))
global $post;
$_post = $post;
foreach( $images as $post ) {
setup_postdata( $post );
$attachment = wp_get_attachment_image_src($post->ID, $size);
$full_attachment = wp_get_attachment_image_src($post->ID, 'large');//control the attachment size
?>

<a class="full-image" href="<?php echo $full_attachment[0]; ?>" rel="colorbox-popup" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">view larger images</a>
<?php
}
$post = $_post;
}

You can even get the title or content without the setup_postdata() function. This will get you the title:

<?php echo $image->post_title; ?>

Maurizio Pelizzone answers:

When WordPress return the post title through "the_title()" function, run some filter that can clean or alter the result.
(for example when title need some charset conversion or is active multi language plugin).

for this reasons, in my opinion, the best way (and maybe the right way) for retrive image title is apply the filter.

this my code:
$image_title = apply_filters('the_title', $image->post_title);

in your case i would replace in this way:


foreach($images as $image) {

$attachment = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image->ID, $size);
$full_attachment = wp_get_attachment_image_src($image->ID, 'large');//control the attachment size
$image_title = apply_filters('the_title', $image->post_title);

$full_link = "<a class='full-image' rel='colorbox-popup'
href='" . $full_attachment[0] ."'
title='" . $image_title . "' >view larger images</a>";

echo $full_link;
}





sorry for my bad english...
greetings
