Thanks for that plugin but there has to be a better description for noobs. I don’t know how to put that gravatar to the left side.

Ok it was a cascading issue :S

Hi otto, cool plugin,

however it would be so userfriendly for non coders like me, if you would add a complete ‘out of the box wordpress install form code with gravbox’ because if I just add your plugin, add the code to the form and the to the stylesheet. It just doesn’t work. And being no good at this css stuff, it will take me an hour to make it look like what you have

maybe for nono
s like me a suggestion would be to add a basic code concept to the readme

furthermore it is of course very neat and now I will fight with the css to get it fixed

cheers

[...] Deze plugin voorziet in een simpele voorbeeld weergave van de profielfoto zodra iemand zijn mailadres invoert. Heeft iemand nog geen GRAvatar, dan geeft de plugin dat ook aan en voorziet een link waar de commentator een GRAvatar kan aanvragen. [...]

Got it working on my website. Thanks so much for that.
I did not know about gravatars but I think I’m starting to love it.
For those of you newbies like me, you will probably want to go to http://www.Gravatar.com to create your picture. This is actually what immediately recognizces which image to place once you have added an email. Go to the website and you will understand.
On the actual folder on your PLUGINS -> GRAVATAR BOX, you will find a READ ME file which has the code you can copy and paste for your CSS.

All you have to do is replace the link of the gravatar for yours.

There hasn’t been a need so far, for logged in users, they probably already know to get a gravatar from their use of WordPress.

Fantastic. It’s one of those things that I never realised I wanted to do until someone wrote a plugin for it.

Now, I had to post a comment here just to test it.

Hey, cool, I was on the right track for my hack of that

The one catch with that is the get_avatar code pulls in your css settings for .avatar, so if you’ve set that to something like, say, 60px, you get a fun box-in-a-box But that’s easy as π to fix.

I think the md5 hidden field would work.

By: Otto

Otto — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:14:01 +0000

Fair enough. I added support for logged in users. Download 1.0.3 when it gets updated.

Note that it won’t display the “get one” link for logged in users, just the default gravatar (according to the blog setting) when they don’t have one. This is because I’m not too comfortable with putting their email into the site in plaintext and I need to think of a better way first. I’m considering an md5 hidden field, allowing the javascript to work that way and allowing a 404 response to succeed.

I didn’t really see the point in doing that for this plugin, the goal is more to get users to sign up for gravatars if they don’t have them already, thus the sign up link (which you’ll notice has the person’s email pre-filled in).

What about users who are signed in and DON’T have a gravatar yet? I have a healthy mix of registered and not registered users (bbPress integration – forums users have to register), so I’d like them to feel loved too

I’ll have to play with this. My js isn’t as good as it used to be.

By: Otto

Otto — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 17:45:31 +0000

Well, you could write a bit of code to pull the gravatar information for the logged in user and display the proper image there.

I didn’t really see the point in doing that for this plugin, the goal is more to get users to sign up for gravatars if they don’t have them already, thus the sign up link (which you’ll notice has the person’s email pre-filled in).

Also, most themes use separate sections for logged-in and non-logged-in user form fields. I only put the gravbox code on the non-logged-in user section.

Ipstenu — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 17:40:54 +0000

The only ‘bug’(?) I can see is that if you’re logged in, it seems to default to the no-gravatar, rather than pulling your email from the logged in value… Should there be an if logged in check in there to get that?

Neither, actually. What I did was to put the call to the gravbox function just before the inputs that accept the name, email, website, and then used CSS code in my theme to move it to the left. The specific code I used can be found in the plugin’s readme.txt file. It’s basically just making the gravbox div float left, which puts it to the left of the form fields.

Unfortunately, Intense Debate works differently, in that your comments are controlled by a javascript code. So it won’t work there.

I’m a blind blog owner. I like this plugin,
but I’m having trouble getting gravatars to show up on my blog
for some reason using the i2theme I got, made by mangoOrange.

To get the gravatar to show up to the left of the name, email, website
form fields like that, what xhtml form code do you use?
do you use ol, li or ul li? or do you use tables?
I’m not good at all with setting up a table structure like that
using CSS, I don’t know how.

I want to use the plugin but I use intensedebate for comments on my site. Would it work if I insert the code into the intensedate comments.php page? Thanks
