Adding an Image to a Topic Instead of Avatar of Creator

Hi,

Is there any way to pick an image for a topic instead of displaying the avatar of the creator of the topic?

See here:http://webmobileandsocial.biz/tojacate/groups-home/january-concept-for-reflection-joy/

It displays the avatar of the creator of the topic each time. One way around this is to have different people create topics with different images, but I would rather have more flexibility. Thanks!

BTW – running latets version of wordpress and buddypress on linux/apache.

You need to create a plugin to do that a la post-thumbnails for Posts/Pages and it’s not going to be easy.

Well while certainly not “easy”, I think its definitely possible, and a reasonable request for buddypress.

Here is the design:

1. When creating a topic, add an option to override avatar and upload an image for a topic.
2. When topics are displayed, there should be a check to see if a custom topic image was specified for the particular topic. If so display it, if not, display creator avatar…
