Technical information --------------------- [](#technical-information) This bundle has been forked from [terminal42/contao-avatar](https://github.com/terminal42/contao-avatar), it has been largely rewritten and updated to work with Contao > 4.9 and PHP > 8.0. It should be compatible with existing avatar folders created by the original extension and insert tag syntax for existing tags has been preserved. Most of the settings of the original extension have been removed, the only settings to be done in Contao are the sizes avatar images are resized to for members and users as well as the selection of default images for missing avatars. Resizing of avatars now happens on the client browsers, server-side responsibility has been greatly reduced. Despite this, jQuery is also not required anymore. This extension now relies on Dropzone (which is bundled with the Contao Core anyway) and Croppie. Contrary to the original extension, avatars are now instantly saved (overwritten) on upload, there is no concept of temporary files until form submission anymore. Usage ----- [](#usage) Avatars can be uploaded in the frontend by adding the avatar field to a personal data module. In the backend, avatars are administered in the member/user settings. Get avatar in the frontend using insert tags: ``` {{avatar::member_current}} - current member {{avatar::member_current::100x100}} - current member 100x100 {{avatar::member::ID}} - member ID {{avatar::member::ID::100x100}} - member ID 100x100 {{avatar::user::ID}} - user ID {{avatar::user::ID::100x100}} - user ID 100x100. {{avatar_url::xx}} - return URL to asset image only {{avatar_url_nodefault::xx}} - return empty string instead of default image if no personal avatar available ``` Rough concepts for developers: - MemberAvatarService and UserAvatarService deal with Files as inputs and outputs, see AbstractAvatarService for a list of public methods. - AvatarController will deal with uploads and deletion requests as well as provide rendered HTML when provided with a File (usually from an AvatarService) ### Health Score 34 — LowBetter than 77% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity78 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 61.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
