Usage
acf_photo_gallery is a helper function that takes in ACF_FIELD_NAME and POST_ID will query the database and compile the images for you. The output of this function will be an array.
acf_photo_gallery(ACF_FIELD_NAME, POST_ID);
Example
The following example is using Twitter Bootstrap framework to layout. You can use any framework of your choice.
<?php
//Get the images ids from the post_metadata
$images = acf_photo_gallery('vacation_photos', $post->ID);
//Check if return array has anything in it
if( count($images) ):
//Cool, we got some data so now let's loop over it
foreach($images as $image):
$id = $image['id']; // The attachment id of the media
$title = $image['title']; //The title
$caption= $image['caption']; //The caption
$full_image_url= $image['full_image_url']; //Full size image url
$full_image_url = acf_photo_gallery_resize_image($full_image_url, 262, 160); //Resized size to 262px width by 160px height image url
$thumbnail_image_url= $image['thumbnail_image_url']; //Get the thumbnail size image url 150px by 150px
$url= $image['url']; //Goto any link when clicked
$target= $image['target']; //Open normal or new tab
$alt = get_field('photo_gallery_alt', $id); //Get the alt which is a extra field (See below how to add extra fields)
$class = get_field('photo_gallery_class', $id); //Get the class which is a extra field (See below how to add extra fields)
?>
<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-3">
<div class="thumbnail">
<?php if( !empty($url) ){ ?><a href="<?php echo $url; ?>" <?php echo ($target == 'true' )? 'target="_blank"': ''; ?>><?php } ?>
<img src="<?php echo $full_image_url; ?>" alt="<?php echo $title; ?>" title="<?php echo $title; ?>">
<?php if( !empty($url) ){ ?></a><?php } ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endforeach; endif; ?>
Add Extra Fields
To add extra fields add the following to your themes functions.php file.
//Create extra fields called Altnative Text and Status
function my_extra_gallery_fields( $args, $attachment_id, $acf_key ){
$args['alt'] = array(
'type' => 'text',
'label' => 'Altnative Text',
'name' => 'alt',
'value' => get_field($field . '_alt', $attachment_id)
);
$args['status'] = array(
'type' => 'select',
'label' => 'Status',
'name' => 'status',
'value' => array(
array(
'1' => 'Active',
'2' => 'Inactive'
),
get_field($field . '_status', $attachment_id)
)
);
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'acf_photo_gallery_image_fields', 'my_extra_gallery_fields', 10, 3 );
Supported field types:
* text, date, color, datetime-local, email, number, tel, time, url, week, range, checkbox, radio, textarea, select
How to get values of extra fields
You can use ACF helper function get_field
get_field('photo_gallery_alt', $id);
get_field('photo_gallery_class', $id);

to pull the caption from attachment caption field.
add_filter( 'acf_photo_gallery_caption_from_attachment', '__return_true' );
