# Navatar
Name + Avatar = 'Navatar', connotes 'New Avatar!'
An e107 CMS plugin that incarnates user avatar from your initials.
# Description
Navatar is a wrapped/encapsulated implementation of the awesome php library by Lasse Rafn named [php-initial-avatar-generator](https://github.com/LasseRafn/php-initial-avatar-generator "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.
# Requirements
* 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)
# Installing Dependencies
When downloading this plugin directly via the e107 plugin manager in the admin area or from the [e107.org](https://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](https://getcomposer.org/) or download the whole package from [plugin repository here in Github](https://github.com/arunshekher/navatar "Navatar Repository").
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.
