[1e2] Gravatar as Default Avatar for users without image: auto generate random avatar
![]() Developer Last Online: Feb 2019 ![]() ![]() ![]()
With this very sipmple plugin you can display a Gravatar icon as default avatar for users that don't have any avatar saved or selected. But if an user has its own avatar, this one will be used instead of Gravatar. So you can continue to use your forum's avatar system, and this plugin will be used only when an avatar is not present.
The Gravatar is unique and automatically genereted based on registration email address choosen by the user. And the avatar created is used in every other website that use this method, like Wordpress blogs. Users that are registered to gravatar.com can upload their avatar image so that every website that uses Gravatar will display the uploaded personal image! So you can save your personal avatar one time and have it spreaded everywhere Gravatar system is used. Images are hosted on gravatar.com website, so you don't have any increase to your server load or bandwidth. In this way every user (old users and new users) will have an avatar image, and to recognize the author of a post will be simplier for all because unique images are assigned to each one. Your forum will be more userfriendly and nice looking! How To 1- Go to Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product], then select the xml file downloaded, click Yes for Allow Overwrite and click Import button 2- Go to Settings->Options->User Picture Options and you will find three new option at the end of the page (see screenshot) where you can: * Choose the Gravatar Type (choose between different Gravatar icon):
* Choose the Gravatar Dimension from 1 to 512 pixel square (default is 80) accordingly to your theme. You must write only numbers without characters or punctuation (so for example 120 and not 120px nor 120,5). *- Choose the Gravatar Ratings. All images are rated default as "g":
Note: uninstall Geekydesigns default avatar hack to make work. As soon as I have time, I will create more options to include Gravatar also in widget, CMS and blog. Original mod page for vBulletin 4: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=262196 I don't have VB 3, so I can't give you support, but I will do the best I can The plugin adds a footer link to author website as copyright mark, but I don't require you to keep it. To remove the copyright info just disable the plugin for footer link: go to Plugins & Products->Plugin Manager and search the plugins for Gravatar as Default Avatar and delete or disable the one named "Profile Hooks". Consider a donation if you do so. Changelog: v 1.0 Initial release v 1.0.1 corrected a bug that makes the gravatar all the same in user profile v 1.1.0 Added a rudimental menu option to choose gravatar type, dimension and ratings v 1.1.1 Improvements in option menu to prevent errors and make it easier NOTE: if you run your board on HTTPS then you should go with HTTPS version of Gravatar so there will not a mix of secure and unsecure connections. For this, download and install the xml named product-gravatar_as_default-v1.1.1 for VB3 HTTPS.xml Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

I'll do it in the next release. By now it works only in the forum. Just give me some time because I'm full of work. I will implement gravatar for widget, blog and cms (for vb4)

Hi edenx,
As already said, I'm full of work and have no time, and I also need to look into documentation and look for someone with vb blog 3.8 to test on because I'm a vb 4 user, so I don't have vb blog 3.8. I'll do it, but just give me time. I'll inform every one who mark as installed this mod about updates. No members have liked this post.

The link to the plugin for vBulletin 4 does not work. Here it is:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=262196 But make sure you delete his code that injects a hidden link to his forum. Google hates that. See my post here. No members have liked this post.
