I’d assume similar support for Gravatars could be done this way ... and if so anyone care to take a stab at it?

I took a quick look at gravatars (never heard of it before) and this should work. You can’t sign up for a gravatar right now so I can’t really see if it works, but the default image shows up for me, so it should be good.

Make a snippet named phx:gravatar and save following code.

<?php
/*Once the gravatar URL is created, you can output it whenever you please:

<img src="[+comment.createdby:userinfo=`email`:gravatar+]" alt="gravatar" />
*/
$email = "[email protected]";
$default = "http://www.yoursite.com/assets/images/logo.png";
$size = 80;
$rating = R;

$newvalue= "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?
gravatar_id=".md5($output).
"&default=".urlencode($default).
"&size=".$size.
"&rating=".$rating;
return $newvalue;
?>

In your Jot template add

<img src="[+comment.createdby:userinfo=`email`:gravatar+]" alt="gravatar" />

where you want the gravatar to be.

Can someone who has a gravatar try this to be sure it works?

<?php
/*Once the gravatar URL is created, you can output it whenever you please:
E-mail value extract from additional input "email" form on page 
Example (Jot call): [+phx:gravatar=`[+comment.custom.email+]`+]
*/

$default_email = "[email protected]";
$size = 80;
$rating = R;
$email = '';

(empty($options))?$email=$default_email:$email=$options;

$newvalue= "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?
gravatar_id=".md5($email).
"&size=".$size.
"&rating=".$rating;
return $newvalue;
?>

After a lot of staring at it, seems this is the best way to handle the gravatar code in your template: chunk.comment.inc.html
This fixes problems with either the Guest EMail works or the Registered User EMail works but not both by checking to see if the comment was left by a Registered User and providing the correct gravatar ’call’ based on that (works great on my site).
Place this code where you want the gravatar to appear (Jot Call)...

[+comment.createdby:isnt=`0`:then=`<img src="[+comment.createdby:userinfo=`email`:gravatar+]" alt="gravatar" />`:else=`<br /><img src="[+comment.custom.email:gravatar+]" alt="gravatar" />`+]

Use the phx:gravatar snippet from these posts as shown here...

$size = 80;
$rating = R;
$email = '[email protected]';

$newvalue= "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?
gravatar_id=".md5(strtolower($output)).
"&default=".urlencode($default).
"&size=".$size.
"&rating=".$rating;
return $newvalue;

Notice I left the $default variable out, at least on my setup I get a ’red-x’ when I try to pass a default image, not sure why because if I copy the image properties (URL) to a new window it does show the default image I am passing. In any case, by removing it you simply get the default gravatar ’G’ for users without a gravatar, which is better than the ’red-x’.

If anyone has/had the same problem passing the default image and figured out how to fix it PLEASE let me know how...

You can see the gravatar code working here:

Example (Jot call): [+phx:gravatar=`[+comment.custom.email+]`+]

Should be <img src="[+phx:gravatar=`[+comment.custom.email+]`+]" alt="" />

Then its just adding the custom email input to form and call it with &customfields=`email`

SWEET! cool
