It is mostly the style. Plus the Homepage Feature Component is only designed to use on the homepage. This one works in a few more places.

Can you ask the member to check their browser error console? And also let us know which browser they are using?
Firefox
Chrome
That error looks like it’s coming from another theme component. Can you try disabling them one-by-one?

Hi,
With this configuration, the tiles should appear in all category pages right? My featured tag is “destacado”, however tiles do not show in the category page.

No it’s not the same. The “Featured Tiles Theme Component” in this topic is officially maintained by the Discourse team, and it only provides what you see in the screenshot. “Topic List Previews” is a third-party plugin and/or theme with a different design and featureset.

I love this.
Is there a way to have it only pull from topics with photos/images? Otherwise it seems pretty discordant when there is a row of empty grey boxes and an occasional photo.
Thanks,
Ray

It should be using 200x200 images on regular screens, automatically scaling up to 400x400 on hidpi screens.

Are you seeing something different?
Can i send you PM, because my forum is age restricted.

Thanks for the link. Looking at the site, the problem is that the images are portrait. So we are constraining a 3072x4608 image into a 200x200 square, which makes it 133x200. Then we’re ‘filling’ a 222x150 box with it. So we’re displaying an image 133 pixels wide into something 222 pixels wide.
One solution here is to stop ‘filling’ the banner with the image, and ‘fit’ it instead. That’s the approach we take in the topic list thumbnails:
Adding a new setting to the theme component for this would be #pr-welcome if someone would like to work on it.

This looks great, I like that the tiles don’t overwhelm the UI. I had a couple questions about configuring it.
I haven’t been able to get the featured tiles to appear on my category pages - only the homepage. My configuration is below (with my category names blacked out since we don’t want to share those right now). Anything I’m missing here?
My second question - is there a way to set default images to use for the tiles, as opposed to ones pulled from the topics? We’re often going to have topics to feature that don’t have images, but still want it to look nice. If there’s not a built-in way currently, would that mean modifying the CSS or JS?

Hi David!
Amazing theme component. Like others have asked. Is there a way to add default images for topics without pics?
Ie Featured1.img Featured2.img if no image is detected?
Also have an issue with Component recognizing a tag that is visible to all but says cannot find tag when I try add it.

Is there a specific image type (.jpg, .png, .tiff) that this works with? Images not showing up from 2 of 3 topics which I tagged, though the topic itself shows up.

the theme shows blank gray banner when activated on the site:
though the tag option is clicked and there are some topics on the feature-tag.
Agree. Still wondering if there is a work around to searching the entire topic for an image to use if one is there? Or will it ONLY take from the first post?
I first want to say thank you for this amazing component. It has taken our forum up a few notches visually and a brilliant way to revive old threads without the need for staff to bump them to keep them fixable.
I have a question though and I may be missing a simple solution to this, but is it possible to remove the OPs avatar from the tile… Or preferably just remove the clickablility of the OPs avatar?
Thank you for this David, I am trying to get display-on-categories and scope-to-category working but I can only get the featured tiles to display on Latest and Categories home page, not the individual categories. Any idea what I’m doing wrong here, below are my settings. I have tried this with all other TC’s disabled and in safe mode with unofficial plugins disabled. I don’t see anything in the console or logs related to this.
Also, is there any way to add spacing between the images?
