In the Bricks Facebook group, a user asks:
Hey everyone.
I hope you are doing well.
I’m building a single-page template for a custom post type that represents different performance artists. Each artist has their own HappyFiles folder for images, and I’m using a MetaBox Taxonomy Advanced field to select the folder on each post. I have made the HappyFiles category taxonomy public so I can query it in Bricks.
The challenge is that the Bricks gallery element cannot run a query, and when I try to loop a container of Media attachments filtered by the selected HappyFiles folder, the query returns zero images even though the attachments are correctly assigned to that folder.
I may be missing something in the loop setup or the correct method of outputting attachments dynamically. Has anyone managed to query HappyFiles folders dynamically in a Bricks template and display the images without needing separate galleries?
I’m looking for the proper setup to loop attachments by the HappyFiles taxonomy and display them as a gallery for each artist.
Thank you!
