Not to be confused with Extension:Avatar.

Avatars handles profile images of wiki users. If a user does not upload a profile image, an automatically generated avatar is used instead.

Usage / features

This extension adds an option to each user's page to change the profile image. At the top of their user page, users can see their current profile image with a menu option to change the image. Users have several options for setting a profile image:

  • upload a new image
  • use an image that is already on the wiki or an image from the web (through URL)
  • generate a new avatar

In the configuration, an administrator can choose from two types of avatars:

  • InstantAvatar - random, the image contains initials of the user's name.
  • Identicon - not random, the image is based on the user's IP address.

Requirements

Avatars requires BlueSpice Foundation.
