README
# discourse-topic-previews (sidecar plugin)
This is a sidecar plugin to add features to the otherwise [standalone TC Topic List Previews](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-tc-topic-list-previews):
- 'actions’ (bookmarking and liking from Topic List)
- Thumbnail Picker in the Topic Meta Editor.
- Optionally suppresses links in excerpts to make them look a lot better
This sidecar also includes some experimental features:
- Colourisation of background based on dominant colour of the thumbnail
- Processing of the thumbnails to remove any black borders (critical to determining the best dominant colour).
- Option to recreate thumbnails on rebuild of Post to allow you to quickly manage border elimination.
You must have the Theme Component installed for it to work/be useful
