Name + Avatar = 'Navatar', connotes 'New Avatar!'
An e107 CMS plugin that incarnates user avatar from your initials.
Navatar is a wrapped/encapsulated implementation of the awesome php library by Lasse Rafn named php-initial-avatar-generator. Navatar uses initials from usernames or real names of site users to automatically generate avatar images if they haven't uploaded their own.
- PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1 or 7.2
- Fileinfo Extension (required by intervention/image)
- GD Library (>=2.0) or Imagick PHP extension (>=6.5.7)
When downloading this plugin directly via the e107 plugin manager in the admin area or from the e107.org official website the package lacks dependencies required for the plugin to work, this is due to upload size limitation at e107.org. You'll have to fetch these dependencies using composer or download the whole package from plugin repository here in Github.
To install the dependencies using composer run the following command in the plugin directory:
composer install
If your web-server does not allow running commands in a secure shell session; or for any other reasons, you may download the plugin from its repository here and upload it manually using FTP or other means.
