Javascript plugin for FreeIPA adding a picture widget with preview and file uploader (usefull to manage user avatars in jpegphoto ldap attributes)

FreeIPA extensions : Widget Picture with User JpegPhoto plugins

Introduction

On a FreeIPA directory, you can have some attributes to store images. Typically the jpegphoto attribute can be used for the user avatars.

But the webUI doesn't have a widget designed for this type of binary element... By default you can only use a textarea widget to edit the base64 encoded data.

The FreeIPA web interface is written with a Javascript framework that can be extended by plugins to provide some additional elements.

How it works

The file widget_picture.js define a new type of widget for the FreeIPA webUI.

It is designed to work with attributes containing binary data of a picture (Jpeg, PNG...).

If offers a suitable interface to edit image with:

• An image HTML tag to display the current data (read-only mode or preview for edit)
• An file input HTML tag to select a local image file to upload into the attribute

Installation

You can use the shell script ./ipa-plugins-installer.sh to install the FreeIPA plugins.

If you only want to install the Javascript widget to manage picture fields in the UI:

./ipa-plugins-installer.sh widget_picture --reload

Or if you want to install all plugins provided, including the use of the jpegphoto attribute on users:

./ipa-plugins-installer.sh --all --reload

Note: the plugins are developed, tested and used with FreeIPA version 4.8 and 4.10.
