Hello,
I have a couple of questions regarding the documentation and functionality of components or PluginOutlets in our system:
1. Where can we get the list of components or PluginOutlets with explanatory documentation? Where do I find this documentation that provides a thorough explanation of where each component or PluginOutlet can be used and what its purpose is?
2. What is the component, PluginOutlet, or function used to get the avatar of a poster from the topic list, where we can modify or change the avatars of the posters?
I would appreciate any guidance or links to the relevant resources. Thank you!

Hi,
You can use this theme component to see the available plugin outlets (_except the ones in raw templates_):
> [@(deprecated) Plugin outlet locations theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/plugin-outlet-locations-theme-component/100673):

1. There is no specific documentation at the moment. You can read the source code to understand the context. The component gives you a link to the source code. You can always ask #Development if you don’t understand something. 👍
2. The posters from the topic lists can be found in these raw templates:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/raw-templates/list/topic-list-item.hbr#L58](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/raw-templates/list/topic-list-item.hbr#L58)
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/raw-templates/list/posters-column.hbr](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/raw-templates/list/posters-column.hbr)
Depending on your precise needs, you may need to overwrite the `posters-column` raw template (which is not recommended). What are you trying to achieve here?
