Avatar Gallery plugin
by SinisterSpatula
A NodeBB plugin to display a gallery of avatars that users can select from and which admins can manage. This is my first nodebb plugin, I hope you find it useful.
Screenshots
Installation
Really simple, just install the plugin with
npm install nodebb-plugin-avatar-galleryor via your forum's admin control panel. Then upload some avatars using the admin control panel. You can specify the access level for each avatar in the admin panel, so you can have avatars that are reserved for administrator or moderator use only.Configuration
Currently avatars are uploaded to /uploads/avatars/ and are given a unique id. In the future I might add configurable settings for this plugin.
Notes
Users will only see the avatars for which they have the access level. Users can change their own avatars only. Admins and can change other user avatars. When enabling the plugin, avatar image uploads will be disabled, users must select an avatar from the gallery only.
Let me know what you think!
Updates
v1.0.0 - initial release
v1.0.1 - fixed issue where the modal would not open on some account pages. -
test it soon
good idea

One issue I see with this is that it breaks the ability to upload an avatar by the user. It forces use of the gallery if choosing the change picture option from the profile page.
Or I may have missed a setting.
I like the idea, and have used avatar galleries in the past on other scripts as it can encourage some user participation during on-boarding. -
Saw that. Still an issue to me though. I think having the ability to do both would be the best solution. I'll probably remove this as it removes the ability of the user to choose their own or a pre-defined one.
The gallery is a great idea, and with that change would probably be almost perfect.
