Important: Contacts follow the image settings of the persons extension 

Description 

EXT:academic_persons chooses the crop variant of a profile image per view, and a placeholder per gender, through site settings. The contacts of a page are rendered through its Profile/Item partial, and the setup of this extension maps those settings into its own plugin settings, as it already mapped the default placeholder:

• plugin.tx_academicpersons.image.list.cropVariant, the crop variant of the lists, which the contacts of a page use too.
• plugin.tx_academicpersons.image.placeholder.mr, plugin.tx_academicpersons.image.placeholder.ms and plugin.tx_academicpersons.image.placeholder.diverse, the placeholder of a contact of that gender without an image.

A contact therefore shows the same crop and the same placeholder as the profile does in a list.

Impact 

Nothing changes with the defaults: the crop variant is default, and the gender placeholders are empty, which falls back to the default placeholder. A site that sets them for the persons lists gets them for the contacts of its pages as well. The settings are described in the Profile image chapter of EXT:academic_persons.
