XF 2.2 How to remove the letter Z from avatars?

[Dkf]

If a user does not have an avatar, the forum generates an avatar with the letter Z.
How to avoid this?

Disable this option.

• Enable dynamic default avatars

If enabled, an avatar will be dynamically created for users without a custom avatar. This will include a letter and a color based on their username. If disabled, all users without an avatar will receive a default placeholder

I understand why you would want this being from Ukraine, but it is not possible to exclude a single letter from automatic avatar generation.

You need to deactivate automatic generation completely or create an add-on to replace ‚Z‘ with another letter.

Edit template modification: PAGE_CONTAINER
Find: </body>
Replace:

<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    var avatars = document.querySelectorAll('.avatar span[aria-label]');
    avatars.forEach(function(avatar) {
        var ariaLabel = avatar.getAttribute('aria-label');
        if (ariaLabel && /^Z/i.test(ariaLabel.trim())) {
            var newAriaLabel = ariaLabel.replace('Z', '🇺🇦');
            avatar.textContent = '🇺🇦';
            avatar.setAttribute('aria-label', newAriaLabel);
        }
    });
});
</script>
</body>

Thanks to ChatGPT!

And.... You can also solve this problem like this -
Edit the file \src\XF\Template\Templater.php

Before:

return '<span class="' . $innerClassHtml . '" role="img" aria-label="' . htmlspecialchars($username) . '">'

Add the line:

if ($styling['innerContent'] == 'Z') $styling['innerContent'] = 'UA';

Or you can have a default image.
