Displaying snippets of a topic in topic view

[trevor]

Was this removed a while back where it showed a snippet of the topic? I believe it was like 120 char max or something like that?

Yeah it's been removed, the teaser object looks like this now:

{
    "teaser": {
        "pid": "9392",
        "username": "julian",
        "userslug": "julian",
        "picture": "https: //secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e1565907855fffe8433c31671a49f177?size=128&default=identicon&rating=pg",
        "timestamp": "2014-04-22T14: 19: 01.715Z"
    },
    "user": {
        "username": "mnv2k2",
        "userslug": "mnv2k2",
        "picture": "https: //secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2bf741f9373ecafcf96295343a9fbade?size=128&default=identicon&rating=pg"
    },
    "index": 0
}

I'm assuming it was removed because it slowed down page loading, I think the ideal way is to grab the topic TID and then make a new call to load the teaser (this isn't exposed to the API just yet, check here for progress)

@psychobunny Yeah I did remember this but I forgot when it was removed or whether it was removed completely or not. Any how, thanks for creating an issue for it.
