Gravatar Hack for b2evo 2.4.x

1 Jan 03, 2009 12:20    

Hi @lltogether,

you wanna use gravatars on your site but cannot use the [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=15641]avatar_plugin[/url]?
[url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=17547]I´ve had the same problem[/url] but now there´s a solution - simply edit your stylesheet und _item_comment.inc.php!

[url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1511]¥åßßå[/url] helped me out and here is how:
http://j-sys.de/index.php/2009/01/03/b2evo-und-gravatars
(German!)

Shortly in english:
Append following code to your stylesheet


/* Gravatar style */
img.show_gravatar {
    margin:7px;
    padding:1px;
    border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
    background-color:white;
}

and edit _item_comment.inc.php like that (starting at line 80, after <?php $Comment->rating();)


<?php $Comment->rating();
        if( !empty( $Comment->author_User ) )
        {
            $email = $Comment->author_User->get( 'email' );
        }
        else
        {
            $email = $Comment->author_email;
        }
    $grav_url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5($email); ?>
    <div style="float:left"><img class="show_gravatar" src=<?echo $grav_url;?> width="60" height="60" /></div>    
    <div class="bCommentText">
        <?php $Comment->content() ?>
    </div>

Be sure to copy _item_comment.inc.php to your skins subdir _before_ editing the file!

Have fun!
And once again many thx to ¥åßßå!!!

Cheers,
Joshua

Hi,

Your tip really useful. I made the necessary corrections in my php and css files and now my avatars were working fine. Thanks a bunch for such a nice and useful information.

I slightly increased the width and height of the image by 10 pixels and added a margin of 3px to the image so that it looks pretty cool in all the posts.

Thanks again for the trick!

I use this hack on b2evolution 2.4.7
It shows gravatar for non-logged user but not for logged-in users.

Do you have any idea ?

For what it's worth: gravatar support is built in in b2evo v4/CVS. That was contributed by sam2kb if I'm not mistaken.

                <li id="comment-<?php $Comment->ID(); ?>" class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>"><?php $Comment->anchor() ?>
