I installed the Topic List Previews (TLP) plugin and want to display topic thumbnail previews on the search results page, but it’s not working, it just only display topic 's tiles and excerpts. But thumbnails work on other pages like /new and /latest. I tried modifying the TLP configuration, but none of my changes succeeded. I noticed that this page mentions another plugin (discourse-topic-previews-sidecar), so I suspected the issue was due to not installing it. However, after installing that plugin, the search results page still does not show thumbnails.
I have a few questions:
-
Is installing TLP alone sufficient to enable thumbnail previews on search results, or do I need both TLP and discourse-topic-previews-sidecar?
-
Are there any special TLP configurations required for search results? Why aren’t my settings taking effect?
-
I want to have thumbnail previews on the search results page like this website does. How should I configure it? Could you please describe the key configuration steps in detail?
Attached are screenshots of my current configuration.
