It would be nice if ikiwiki, particularly [[plugins/comments]]
|
|
|
|
|
supported user avatar icons. I was considering adding a directive for this,
|
|
|
|
|
as designed below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, there is no *good* service for mapping openids to avatars --
|
|
|
|
|
openavatar has many issues, including not supporting delegated openids, and
|
|
|
|
|
after trying it, I don't trust it to push users toward.
|
|
|
|
|
Perhaps instead ikiwiki could get the email address from the openid
|
|
|
|
|
provider, though I think the perl openid modules don't support the openid
|
|
|
|
|
2.x feature that allows that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the moment, working on this doesn't feel like a good use of my time.

Hmm.. unless is just always used a single provider (gravatar) and hashed
|
|
|
|
|
the openid. Then wavatars could be used to get a unique avatar per openid
|
|
|
|
|
at least. --[[Joey]]

The directive 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]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The avatars are provided by various sites. For email addresses, it uses a
|
|
|
|
|
[gravatar](http://gravatar.com/). For openid,
|
|
|
|
|
[openavatar](http://www.openvatar.com/) is used. For a wiki username, the
|
|
|
|
|
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".
