[![user-list.jpg](Documentation/Images/user-list.jpg)](Documentation/Images/user-list.jpg) Note TYPO3's default backend shows the same silhouette for every user without an uploaded avatar — making large user lists hard to scan. This extension generates a colored letter avatar per user automatically: no uploads, no external services, deterministic colors per name. ✨ Features ---------- [](#-features) - Generates out-of-the-box colorful avatars for backend users - Easily customizable and flexible configuration - Provides different predefined color modes and themes - Supports frontend user avatars with an additional viewhelper 🔥 Installation -------------- [](#-installation) ### Requirements [](#requirements) - TYPO3 13.4 LTS or 14.x - PHP 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, or 8.5 ### Compatibility [](#compatibility) VersionTYPO3PHPStatus2.x13.4 LTS, 14.x8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5active1.x11.5 LTS, 12.4 LTS, 13.4 LTS8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4maintenance (security only)### Composer [](#composer) [![Packagist](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/743cabb5e2fd7f0c081bd02556b7f86fc8fcdcc8be5fc28a5176cf03b3350503/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7061636b61676973742f762f6b6f6e7261646d696368616c696b2f7479706f332d6c65747465722d6176617461723f6c6162656c3d76657273696f6e266c6f676f3d7061636b6167697374)](https://packagist.org/packages/konradmichalik/typo3-letter-avatar)[![Packagist Downloads](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/515fad61890c98ce6fc1fce1aa10c430f31a5cb536b8f0b30e86e677b36afb6f/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7061636b61676973742f64742f6b6f6e7261646d696368616c696b2f7479706f332d6c65747465722d6176617461723f636f6c6f723d627269676874677265656e)](https://packagist.org/packages/konradmichalik/typo3-letter-avatar) ``` composer require konradmichalik/typo3-letter-avatar:^2.0 ``` ### TER [](#ter) [![TER version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5f6c4aadd1004e9bc81faa2ee8a79c3d2818aa0d7ae104caf4e7dee179b14fe0/68747470733a2f2f7479706f332d6261646765732e6465762f62616467652f7479706f335f6c65747465725f6176617461722f76657273696f6e2f736869656c64732e737667)](https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/typo3_letter_avatar)[![TER downloads](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/ddc893e7bd901ce840356ead67ef6401c10729f9ca1afe238a7886a0d86a6bca/68747470733a2f2f7479706f332d6261646765732e6465762f62616467652f7479706f335f6c65747465725f6176617461722f646f776e6c6f6164732f736869656c64732e737667)](https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/typo3_letter_avatar) Download the zip file from [TYPO3 extension repository (TER)](https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/typo3_letter_avatar). ### Setup [](#setup) Set up the extension after the installation: ``` vendor/bin/typo3 extension:setup --extension=typo3_letter_avatar ``` The extension will automatically generate avatars for all existing backend users. 🧰 Configuration --------------- [](#-configuration) See [Configuration Documentation](Documentation/Configuration.md) for detailed setup instructions including: - Extension settings configuration - Custom themes and color modes - Code-based configuration examples ⚡ Usage ------- [](#-usage) See [Usage Documentation](Documentation/Usage.md) for comprehensive usage examples including: - Backend user avatars (automatic) - Programmatic avatar generation - Fluid ViewHelper usage - Console commands - Event listener customization 🧑‍💻 Contributing ---------------- [](#‍-contributing) Please have a look at [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md). 💎 Credits --------- [](#-credits) This project is highly inspired by similar open source projects like [avatar](https://github.com/laravolt/avatar) and [letter-avatar](https://github.com/yohangdev/letter-avatar).
