Features

BlueSpiceAvatars handles profile images of wiki users. Initially, every user has an automatically generated avatar.

This extension adds an option to each user's page to change his profile image. At the top of a user's page users can see their current profile image and the link "Userimage". Clicking on this link opens a dialog offering several options for setting a profile image:

  • upload a new image
  • link to an image that has already been uploaded
  • generate a new avatar

What is Avatars?[edit | edit source]

Avatars assigns an automatically generated individual profile picture for every user. This prevents that users who did not upload a profile picture to be depicted with the same standard profile picture. This makes it easier to distinguish between the Authors below an article.

    • InstantAvatar - random, image contains initials of user's name
