Recent post quilts

Let us know exactly what you want to change in recent post cards? 

Thank  you for replying VikasB

Basically we are trying to implement the following:

• remove the native date component, and replace it with a custom component that would show date in alphanumeric way instead of numeric format
• add information about the last person who commented and/or edited the article (exact behavior depends on the type of the discussion, but generally this information should appear on the card)

Since those quilts are not exposed, we attempted to re-build everything as custom components. It works fine, apart from that Lithium API does not exposes data for moderation (if moderator has viewed the post) and does not allow to sort by edit date. 

Both of those features cannot really be used in custom components (at least in performant way without querying database for everything and manually  sorting the data), while native components have them.

Because of that I'm again trying to explore possibility to modify native components (maybe something was overlooked).

In the worst case, everything could be done using javascript, but again it's rather terrible solution since swapping dates as page loads/has loaded would turn out rather ugly (of course, we could always hide content, show some loading spinner, perform query to database, manipulate DOM and again show content), but I would really prefer to avoid doing something like that.

Yes, you can change the quilt for the required pages. We have done the same thing see here https://prnt.sc/j0qcg7. You have to modify the message quilt for the respected conversation type i.e. forum, blog, idea etc. 

If you want to modify it for the forums then you have to change it in Forum Message quilt see here https://prnt.sc/j0qeba

For the blog, it would be Blog Message quilt see here https://prnt.sc/j0qg40

Thank you for the suggestion VikasB

Those quilts refer to the posts itself. We were looking for possibility to modify cards that are displayed on the overview page (recent post pages), like this one and the same for the TKB and Forum overview page.

You are right VikasB

I was somehow convinced that it was using native component, but it's indeed a custom component.

By any chance, do you have any idea what component might be used for Discussion cards on its overview page?

Thank you for your help VikasB

We were able to solve the problem.
