Sorry,
I have a featured image/thumbnail attached to each forum topic.
I would like each post, in that topic, to call that featured image as well.
I am assuming that each topic is the parent of each post?

so I created this function in my functions.php file

	add_action('bbp_template_before_post', 'pym_print_featured_image_on_topic()')
	function pym_print_featured_image_on_topic() {	
			//get the post id of the parent
			//$postimage = get_post( 'post_parent' );
		if (has_post_thumbnail()) {
			echo '<div class="pym-bbp-topic-thumbnail">';
			echo get_the_post_thumbnail('<strong>post_parent</strong>', 'thumbnail' );
			echo '</div>';
		}
	}

Which I am then calling in side of loop-single-topic.php

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_template_before_post’ );?>

Thanks for your help!

I am trying to grab the $post_id from the parent
something like this?

	function pym_print_featured_image_on_topic() {
		if (has_post_thumbnail()) {
			echo '<div class="pym-bbp-topic-thumbnail">';
			echo get_the_post_thumbnail('post_parent', 'thumbnail' );
			echo '</div>';
		}

Continuing on….

In my themes function.php file I have the following which creates my thumbnail:

	// /bbpress/templates/default/content-single-forum
	add_action('bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'pym_print_featured_image_single_forum', 11);
	add_action('bbp_template_before_single_forum', 'pym_print_forum_description', 12);
	
	function pym_print_featured_image_single_forum() {
		if (has_post_thumbnail()) {
			echo '<div class="pym-bbp-topic-thumbnail">';
			echo get_the_post_thumbnail(null, 'thumbnail' );
			echo '</div>';
		}
	}

I have been calling this elsewhere in my template using ”

 <?php do_action( 'bbp_template_before_single_forum' ); ?>

I am now trying to edit content-single-forum.php to call this thumbnail using the following:

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'loop', 'topics' ); ?>

How do I go about getting the thumbnail to be called in the loop?

Thanks, Malcolm

Apologies for being unclear,

The shortcode I posted worked, just wondering if I create a new view template if I will be able to call it in a shortcode?

Thanks!

Thats a great help, Thanks! Would it be possible to call this new view in a shortcode?
