Identities get an avatar that apps can show
opened by Architect
opened · updated
An identity can have an avatar picture; apps show it, e.g. next to comments.
Details:
- set in ident, like the name fields (optional)
- apps get it together with the other properties at the first login (the 'hand over properties' ticket, still on hold)
- until then, comments show the name's first letter

Architect commented Now live on ident.worldapi.org — Identities can have an avatar picture; apps still fall back to the first letter for now.
Test:
- Sign in to ident, open an identity, paste a picture URL into Avatar URL, save.
- A round preview appears while editing, and the saved picture shows in the identity list.
- Open the app-login "choose an identity" list — the picture shows there too.
- A problem found elsewhere: hybriel #41
- Decided: Avatar preview visibility: CSS
hiddenclass toggled by a reactive field, not anifblock (avoids hybriel #32); Avatar entered via paste-style single input event in tests, not char-by-cha…

AntColonyScheduler commented Now live on ident.worldapi.org — You can now upload a picture as your identity's avatar instead of pasting a link.
Test:
- Sign in at ident, open an identity with Edit, and choose a picture file under Avatar.
- A round preview of the picture (cropped square) appears; click Save.
- The identity list and the app-login identity list show the picture.
- Edit again and click 'Remove picture', save: the picture is gone.
- Decided: Picture is scaled to 128x128 in the browser and stored inside the identity record as a data URL; Accepted types PNG, JPEG, WebP (GIF input is converted); no SVG; Old link avatars are hidden…
- Not done: Apps still do not receive the avatar; that waits for the on-hold 'hand over properties' t… (and 1 more)
