I've been reading about gravatars and favatars:

http://www.noscope.com/journal/2004/12/favatars

Anybody using them? I added some code to functions.php to support them in really, really basic form:

Code:

		if($comment_url != "") {
			$comment_url = "http://$comment_url"; // i'm running for president...
			$comment_url = str_replace("http://http://","http://",$comment_url); // you see?
			$comment_name = "&lt;a href='$comment_url' title='$lang_visit_homepage'>$comment_name&lt;/a>";
      $grav_url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5($comment_email)."&amp;amp;size=24"; 
      $urlParts = parse_url($comment_url); 
      $fav_url = $urlParts['scheme'].'://'.$urlParts['host'].'/favicon.ico'; 
			}

...and then adding an image to each comment with $grav_url or $fav_url as the src attribute. My method for building the $fav_url string is pretty hacky and probably misses quite a few favicons, but it's a start. Of course, the fact that nobody visits my blog makes it a little difficult to actually get any use out of the code

Just wanted to toss that out there.

I have a gravatar account, but mine doesn't show up on your site derevaun. Oh, it took me a while to find your previous link. You might want to make it a little more prominent.

I think I set it to favatars only and stopped before figuring out how to make it do either one or the other. I switched it to gravatars and it works!

I've been puzzling over what to do with the previous link. I wanted to try something other than clicking the image, and ran out of room at the top. A redesign is iin order, but I should probably do something in the meantime. Thanks for bringing it up!

The previous and next links would be fine in the same line where you have "...Today All 91 A month Whichever Bad cameras See also." Maybe in place of some of those. :-)

Could you post the updated code that you used?

I got this to work on my site with the gravatars, but it only works if the author enters his/her url in... I tried commenting out the favatar stuff but it still didn't work. I don't see what could be affecting it

wiphey · #8 08-20-2005, 05:32 AM

nevermind i figured it out. the code should be like this:

Code:

		if($comment_url != "") {
			$comment_url = "http://$comment_url"; // i'm running for president...
			$comment_url = str_replace("http://http://","http://",$comment_url); // you see?
			$comment_name = "&lt;a href='$comment_url' title='$lang_visit_homepage'>$comment_name&lt;/a>";
}
      $grav_url = "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5($comment_email)."&amp;amp;size=24"; 
      $urlParts = parse_url($comment_url); 
      $fav_url = $urlParts['scheme'].'://'.$urlParts['host'].'/favicon.ico';

the bracket was in the wrong place
