Hi I have a wordpress theme I'm designing and I have a popular post section in my footer. I've used the following code to generate popular post to be displayed by number of comments (which seems to be working fine). However I also want an image from that popular post to display above the post title any ideas on how to achieve this?
<?php
$pop_posts = query_posts('orderby=comment_count&posts_per_page=4');
foreach( $pop_posts as $post ) {
$custom_image = get_post_custom_values('the_title', $post->ID);
$image = $custom_image[0] ? $custom_image[0] : get_post_meta($attachment->ID, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true);
printf('<li><a href="%s" title="%s"><img src="%s" alt="%s" /></a></li>', get_permalink($post->ID), $post->post_title, $image, $post-> post_title);
}
?>
