Impementation of gif in avatar??

[deleted] People actually pay to have their profile picture animated on This cord, BUT it only animates when you hover the cursor over one's message. This might be interesting

miowski How I'd love to see this as the default implementation for reaction GIFs/avatars across the entire internet!

I'd love to see a proper GIF avatar implementation for Flarum, and having a hover/disable option for users who don't want them constantly animating would be wise (and a must for me personally).

jordanjay29 I definitely agree ! As @Ralkage said, having pages full of animated images can quickly become a pain for the eyes 🙁 hovering the mouse to animate the image would definitely be the best way to implement GIFs as profile pics

jordanjay29 Yeah, something like how discord implements the GIF Avatar feature. Only play the GIF when user hovers over the post card; else default to a still image.

Any update on this?

There are many types of forums in use, some are smaller communities with closed member groups. Which means, allowing animated avatars would not be a problem, otherwise the extension should also add a permission for the bio file types.

It would be a nice addon.

I am not aware of anyone working on this.

There is no plan to add animated GIF support in Flarum core since our image resizing library doesn't support resizing animated GIFs. If an alternate library exists, a proposal to switch it is welcome, but this would probably have to wait for Flarum 2.x unless its API is fully compatible with Intervention, the current image library.

You can still manually put a GIF in the avatars folder and manually update the user avatar path (can also be set to an external, fully qualified URL), but you have to take care of verifying the image size is not too large for performance and does not contain malicious code the webserver might execute.

clarkwinkelmann Thanks for the answer 👌

animated GIF uploaded to /assets/avatars/ folder gets resized and loses animation. So best is to upload a 200x200 or less sized gif (not less than 75x75) manually through ftp and map it to user in database
