mod_vcard_muc: Add an alternative method of signaling avatar change When the avatar has been changed, a signal is sent that the room configuration has changed. Clients then do a disco#info query to find the SHA-1 of the new avatar. They can then fetch it as before, or not if they have it cached already. This is meant to be less disruptive than signaling via presence, which caused problems for some clients. If clients transition to the new method, the old one can eventually be removed. The namespace is made up while waiting for standardization. Otherwise it is very close to what's described in https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/muc-avatars.html

summary: Sync avatars between vCards and PEP
---

## Introduction

This module pushes the users nickname and avatar from vCards into PEP,
or into vCards from PEP. This allows interop between older clients that
use [XEP-0153: vCard-Based Avatars] to see the avatars of clients that
use [XEP-0084: User Avatar] and vice versa.

Also see [XEP-0398: User Avatar to vCard-Based Avatars Conversion].

## Configuration

Simply [enable it like most other modules][doc:installing_modules#prosody-modules],
no further configuration needed.
