How to move the avatar_template inside the topic body

Dev

Hello, I am currently making a custom theme for a community of mine. I am trying to move the user avatar inside the topic body (I’ll post screen-shots for what it currently looks like vs what I am looking for). I am using the plugin to view DIscourse outlets though I am not seeing an outlet to possibly do this. Some support on this would be a huge help!

Your 2nd SS wanting. Is this a on another discourse site?

If so you might be able to see how they did it with your browser’s inspect element.

Hello :wave:
Here is an example I made now, it’s probably not perfect but you can customize it…

Desktop / CSS

.topic-post {
  margin-bottom: 1em;
  > article > .row {
    background-color: var(--secondary);
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px var(--primary-low);
    border-radius: 1em;
    padding: 1em;
      
    .topic-avatar {
      border: none;
    }
    .topic-body {
      background: none;
      border: none;
      box-sizing: border-box;
      width: 100%;
      padding: 1em;
    }
  }
  
  .post-menu-area {
    margin: 1em 0 0;
  }
}
  
// PM
.archetype-private_message {
  .regular.contents {
    border: none;
  }
  
  .topic-map {
    padding-left: 1em;
    padding-bottom: 0.25em;
  }
  
  .topic-post {
    margin-bottom: 1em;
  }
  
  // use current-user post highlight on full row
  .topic-post {
    &.current-user-post {
      > article > .row {
        background: var(--tertiary-very-low);
        box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px var(--tertiary-very-low);
      }
    }
    .regular.contents {
      background: none;
      border-color: none;
    }
  }
}
  
// Timeline
.topic-navigation.with-timeline {
  width: 150px;
}
.container.posts {
  // ensure to keep the post full width
  grid-template-columns: 1fr auto;
  
  .topic-navigation {
    margin-right: -2em;
    padding-left: 2em;
  }
}
  
// Topic map
.topic-map {
  &.--op,
  &.--bottom {
    padding: 1em 1em 0;
    max-width: 100%;
    border-top: none;
    border-bottom: none;
  }
}
  
// Small action
.small-action {
  .topic-avatar,
  .small-action-desc {
    border-top: none;
    padding-top: 0;
  }
  .topic-avatar:empty {
    display: none;
  }
  .small-action-desc {
    width: calc(100% - 1em);
  }
}
  
// Topic bottom
.topic-area {
  > .loading-container {
    width: 100%;
  }
}
.topic-status-info,
.topic-timer-info {
  max-width: 100%;
}
