Official - Paid Default Initials Avatar

[glennrocksvb]

Tired of seeing the generic default gray user avatars? Having a hard time encouraging or forcing users to change their default avatar? Worry no more! The Default Initials Avatar will solve these pain points by automatically changing user avatars using their username initials upon signup.

The default initials avatar will be automatically generated either when a new user signs up or when an admin manually creates a new user account in AdminCP.



Settings:


This mod also provides a tool to generate initials avatar for existing users that have the default vB5 avatar.

Tool:


Compatibility:
Compatible with vB5 self-hosted and PHP 8. For vBCloud version, you can get it here.

Language/Script Support:

As of this writing, the following Unicode scripts/languages are supported. This means that the mod can generate the initials with usernames using these scripts/languages/alphabets.

• English
• Arabic
• Armenian
• Bengali
• Georgian
• Hebrew
• Chinese
• Japanese
• Mongolian
• Thai
• Tibetan

Version History:

v1.1

• (Skipped)

v1.0

Cloud too????

Cloud too????

No as it requires PHP hooks. But I'll check if there's a way around it for vBCloud using Template hooks.

[glennrocksvb]

Would you still want to force user to change their avatar even if they have the initials avatar? For me, I'm cool with users having initials avatar not changing their avatar anymore if they choose to do so. At least they are not using the boring generic gray avatar.

[Mitch]

Not forcing it would be okay, now that we discussed it. They would stay square like we have them now correct?

[Mitch]

I did change the default in the replacement variable, to our logo. (For the profile page)

[glennrocksvb]

Yeah the avatar image itself is still square. But if you make avatars round using CSS, then it would display rounded.

[glennrocksvb]

Stock default avatar replaced via replacement variable will still be replaced with Initials avatar.

Hello. How can we change the SIZE of the avatar and make it similar to what you have here... the circle instead of the square? I would like to replicate both the size you have here as well as the shape.

Note that we are just stretching from the natural size of 60px by 60px (or whatever configured size is) using CSS. So you may see some avatars stretched or pixelated.

Ah. OK. I’m used to vb4 where we could resize the avatar. Seems vb5 doesn’t have that option. So frustrating. Thanks for the info.
