Hello All,

This is what I have so far:

in my functions.php file:
bbp_register_view( 'recent-with-topic-image', __( 'Recent With Topic Image' ), array(false ,'author' => 0, 'show_stickies' => false, 'order' => 'DESC', 'post_parent' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 8 ), false );

corresponding short code
[bbp-single-view id="recent-with-topic-image"]

What can I add to array to show the featured image from the topic that the post is in?

Thanks, Malcolm

If you want a specific view to have images, you would need to create a custom view template called either single-view-recent-with-topic-image.php or view-recent-with-topic-image.php and most of the code would be based on the single-view.php template in the extras folder in the bbPress plugin, you would have to make it custom enough to include the featured image code, and I guess however your users will be able to select a featured image during topic creation.

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

[Robkk]

The shortcode that you posted seemed alright with the code you posted, so you had the right ID and everything, only thing I would possibly say is if those quotes don’t work use single quotes.

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!

Creating a new view template will help with the layout of how you want it. And yes you can still show that view with a shortcode.

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
