Is this the correct way to display gallery images?

I searched high and low for a simple way to just display the images in a gallery on a page/post, without the use of any gallery functionality.

I ended up hacking the example code and .keep what (I think) I need to get the job done. It works so I might have it right? It would be great to have a simple sample like this in the documentation, that would have saved me a lot of time and might be a good proof of concept to test the output is working in a visually correct way on a site.

<?php
 
$images = get_field('gallery_images');
 
if( $images ): ?>
		<ul>
			<?php foreach( $images as $image ): ?>
					<img src="<?php echo $image['url']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" />
			<?php endforeach; ?>
		</ul>
	<?php endif; ?>

Cheers

Hi @lukehallam

Your code looks fine. There is no bloated of unnecessary code so this gets the stamp of approval from me.

Did you find the documentation example a but too overwhelming?

That’s Elliot,

Yeah, the image gallery code, although very clear, was something I had to strip out to get what I needed, which I think is the simplest use of the plugin/add-on. Not being a coder, this was a challenge and I was a little surprised there wasn’t a simpler example available.

I can see that the image gallery implementation is probably the most in-demand function of this add-on so I understand why it has been provided as an example.
