Avatar Gallery plugin

by SinisterSpatula

npmjs - github

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-gallery or 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.

Discovered an issue with the new docker setup that affects windows users. I could not get the nodebb container to startup it would always fail at "entrypoint.sh not found". It was caused by either git on windows adding dos line endings to the entrypoint.sh when cloning, or maybe because .sh is not in the repository .gitattributes file. I ended up getting it working with:

git clone -c core.autocrlf=false -b v3.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git

Which I think forces it to not mess up the line endings for entrypoint.sh when cloning the repo under windows.

I got it working! github.com/SinisterSpatula/.docker-dev

I think we can definitely improve this, but I at least want to share my work in case there are others that want to use docker to develop a plugin, as it seems no one has really documented or shared their work when it comes to this, at least that I could find!

I finished my work creating this plugin. I'll put it up on npm and here soon.
