It would be nice if ikiwiki, particularly [[plugins/comments]]
|
2010-03-13 23:29:06 +01:00
|
|
|
supported user avatar icons.

Idea is to add a directive that displays a small avatar image for a user.
|
|
|
|
|
Pass it the email address, openid, or wiki username of the user.

|
|
|
|

\[[!avatar user@example.com]]
|
|
|
|
|
\[[!avatar http://joey.kitenet.net/]]
|
|
|
|
|
\[[!avatar user]]

|
These directives can then be hand-inserted onto pages, or more likely,
|
|
|
|
|
included in eg, a comment post via a template. Possibly included in a
|
|
|
|
|
recentchanges page item via that template too?

The avatars are provided by various sites. For email addresses, it uses a
|
|
|
|
|
[gravatar](http://gravatar.com/). For openid,
|
2010-03-13 23:29:06 +01:00
|
|
|
[openavatar](http://www.openvatar.com/) could used, but I am not very happy
|
|
|
|
|
with it; probably better to just get the email via SREG (as is done now for
|
|
|
|
|
openid), and use that. For a wiki username, the
|
2009-01-22 05:01:37 +01:00
|
|
|
user's email address is looked up and the gravatar for that user is
|
|
|
|
|
displayed. (Of course, the user has to have filled in their email address
|
|
|
|
|
on their Preferences page for that to work.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An optional second parameter can be included, containing additional
|
|
|
|
|
options to pass in the
|
|
|
|
|
[gravatar url](http://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/url).
|
|
|
|
|
For example, this asks for a smaller gravatar, and if a user does
|
|
|
|
|
not have a gravatar, uses a cute auto-generated "wavatar" avatar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\[[!gravatar user@example.com "size=40&default=wavatar"]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `gravitar_options` setting in the setup file can be used to
|
|
|
|
|
specify additional options to pass. So for example if you want
|
|
|
|
|
to use wavatars everywhere, set it to "default=wavatar".
