Description

These dirs are absolute symlinks in nodebb-plugin-emoji and I think they should be relative (I need to remove/recreate them on every copy between my Prod and my Dev environments...) :

In nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-emoji/build/emoji :
android -> /home/myname/nodebb/node_modules/emoji-datasource-google/img/google/64
customizations -> /home/myname/nodebb/public/uploads/emoji

Is it possible to have these symlinks created relatives (to the nodebb or plugin dir) by your plugin ? Thanks.

Research direction

Start by tracing the plugin/build process that creates the symlinks under nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-emoji/build/emoji, focusing on android and customizations. Verify that the generated links remain valid when copied between environments and no longer embed /home/myname paths.
