Data API and hook

Xevious

Hi,

first request
on the home page, the API is like :

{
"categories": [{
    "posts": [{
        "user": {
        },
        "topic": {
            "tid": "x",
            "title": "myTitle",
            "cid": "x",
            "slug": "x/myTitle",
            "deleted": "0",
			"aid": "Author uid"
        },
        "category": {
        },
    }]  
}],
}

The author uid field (which is the uid of the user who created the topic) is actually missing. Could you add it to the API?

Second request
This one will probably require some more work.
I'd like to parse topics title (not only on the topic page, but everywhere they are displayed). There's already a filter:post.parse hook which is just great for the posts, and a filter:title.parse would be really appreciated (passing at leat 2 args to the callback: title string, and author uid).

Thanks for the good work.

@Xevious I've counter the problem by calling the topic/tid API.
But I agree it's needed.
Second point too and need to say it should concern title in breadcrump too.

Thanks for your work for the future version of nodebb-plugin-topic-color mate greatly appreciated but you already know this

Ping @baris, @julian and @psychobunny for this to be seen.

@Xevious The author uid seems to be in the API return, no?

Example: https://community.nodebb.org/api/

"posts": [
  {
    "pid": "17438",
    "tid": "2021",
    "content": "<p>Added <a class=\"plugin-mentions-a\" href=\"/user/akoch\">@akoch</a> to the translation team for Norwegian <img class=\"emoji\" title=\":grinning:\" alt=\"grinning\" src=\"https://community.nodebb.org/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji-extended/images/grinning.png\" /></p>\n\n    \n",
    "uid": "3",

@frissdiegurke Something tells me that Emoji shouldn't be inside that code block

@julian
There's an uid but not from the author.
In fact it's the replier uid that is displayed.

And I agree the emote is not at her place xD
Thanks.

https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/commit/83de5ba5a43c15157ac2f879f44f857638325981 this does the first request, although I am not sure how useful it is without the data as the other user block (ie username,userslug, picture)

@baris In our case it's for testing user groups and so permission to color the title or not depending on the author and not the replier
