    Paid Mod Default Initials Avatar

    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 solves these pain points by automatically changing user avatars using their username initials upon signup.

    This plugin is very useful for forums that want to have a consistent and professional look for their users. It helps users to recognize each other easily and quickly. It also enhances the user experience and makes your forum more attractive and elegant.

    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.

    Compatibility:
    • Compatible with vB5 (self-hosted)

      PHP Code:
          $vbMaxVersion '6.9.9'
    • Not compatible with vBCloud. Get vBCloud compatible version here.​

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

                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.

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

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

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

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

                I'm sure once you install this mod, you will be glad you got rid of that boring generic silhouette gray 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.
