<?php
$next_post = get_adjacent_post(false, '', false );// set last param to true if you want post that is chronologically previous
//for debug
if(!empty($next_post)){
echo 'Next post title is: '.$next_post->post_title;
} else {
echo 'global $post is not set or no corresponding post exists';
}
$args = array('post_type' => 'attachment', 'numberposts' => -1, 'post_parent' => $next_post->ID);
$attachments = get_posts($args);
// print attachments for debug
echo '<pre>';print_r($attachments);echo '</pre>'; ?> <script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var images="";
<?php foreach($attachments as $attachment):
$mime = $attachment->post_mime_type;
if($mime == 'image/jpeg' || $mime == 'image/gif' || $mime == 'image/png'):
?>
images += '<img src="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/12913/<?php echo $attachment->guid ?>" style="display:none" />';
<? endif; endforeach; ?>
if(images != ''){
$('body').append(images);
}
}); </script>
