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[edit]

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[edit]

Avatars requires BlueSpice Foundation.
