Settings

Usage

When first enabled, a background task will be dispatched which will begin generating avatars for all of your users. Needless to say, if you have 100's of thousands of users, this could take a few minutes!

Want to make changes to the generation settings? No problem, once the settings are changed, another background task will run to update the avatars.

This extension is best used alongside a queue, especially when the forum has a large number of users.

An API endpoint is also available to directly retrieve the avatar for a user:

/api/users/[id]/boring-avatar

this will return the SVG image file for the given user.

composer require ianm/boring-avatars:"*"
