[Resolved] How to check if the gallery image in foreach loop is also the property image

Hi, I'm creating a real estate site using your Real Estate reference site. On the single-house content template, for horribly complicated reasons, I need to display the property photo followed by all of the gallery photos, excluding the one that is the same as the property photo – basically I don't want it to display twice. Is there any way to query the gallery photos before displaying them to find out if they are the same image as the property photo? The property photo will not always be the first in the gallery list unfortunately. Below is my current output:

[types field="property-photo" width="900" height="600" align="none" resize="pad" padding_color="#f9f7f3"][/types]
[wpv-for-each field="wpcf-property-gallery"]
      [types field="property-gallery" width="900" height="600" align="none" resize="pad" padding_color="#f9f7f3" separator=", "][/types]
[/wpv-for-each]

Many thanks!

Hi Zoe,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Is there an index where you will always upload the property photo ?

Because you can always add a separate field to hold the property photo.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane

I am using the exact setup for images that comes with the Real Estate reference site, so the property photo is already in a separate field (property-photo), but the same image exists also in the gallery array. What I want to do is filter it out of the gallery array before displaying it in this view. Not adding it to the gallery in the first place is not an option unfortunately, for complicated reasons.

Hi Zoe,

What I'm thinking that you can do is to use a wpv-conditional code check to see if the urls are the same.

If they are the not same then the code should display images like normal. Have a look at the link below.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane

Thank you! I got it working eventually using the wpv-post-field shortcode in the conditional statement.
