There's two things i want to do.

1. Shorten the teaser text
2. Pull out a specific link to use as a button

I think i figured it out though using something like { "hook": "filter:topics.get", "method": "teaserContentShort" }

var Theme = {
	teaserContentShort: function (data, callback) {
		data.topics.forEach(topic => {
			topic.teaser.contentShort = topic.teaser.content.slice(0,20);
		});

		callback(null, data);
	}
};

It seems to work. Hopefully thats not using the wrong paradigm.

@jtsimoes Maybe, things like that don't generally feel powerful enough for my needs. If i create a theme I'd like to have more control of the homepage. I'll play around with it though.

Thanks, but yeah again, im looking for a file on disk that i can version control and share across the team. Seems that may not be possible though.

I have a child theme that is a fork of quickstart that i installed via npm link. How do i resolve this warning?

I've modified topics_list to display the teaser under the title. However, i would like to further edit the teaser. I'm wondering about the best approach to do something like this. I'm thinking

@jtsimoes I guess my question is more "where is home.tpl"? I think that is from nodebb-theme-quickstart

What does this refer too?

@jtsimoes Thanks. I'd prefer not to have to code via, and be confined to the containers of, the widgets. Is there any way to have direct access to the HTML like i do with custom themes?

Is there a way to have a simple homepage template (e.g. home.tpl), without needing the nodebb-plugin-custom-homepage plugin? I see references to it in some older posts but not sue what the current state is.
