Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
You should probably go grab v0.1 – my changes turned out to be unnecessary and increased performance time. d’oh.

Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
Does v0.1 display a default gravatar if the commenter don’t have one? I’m currently using v0.2. I thought it was just txp that’s slow. Now I know it’s the gravatar plugin :P. This is a cool plugin, I hope it’ll get updated soon. =)

Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
So I’d like to get back to what sekhu was discussing or something similar. I have a call to show a returning visitor’s gravatar on the front-page. At the moment it only shows the default gravatar because it is not inside a comment so I’m thinking how can the plug-in be changed to pick up the email address from an existing cookie rather than the comment data so that it can fetch the appropriate gravatar? I believe the global will need changing and also the line that picks up the email address but how one wonders?
I should mention that I already have the code sitting inside an “if_cookie” conditional so it will only be called if there is a cookie in the first place.

Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
Well I seem to have managed to sort it out myself. :) First I removed the global line. I wasn’t sure whether it actually should have one but it’s working without. I then changed the line that calls the “email” to this:-
<code>$email = pcs(‘email’);</code>
And it all seems to be working OK so far.

Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
I guess i’m doing something wrong. I do have the 1.0rc3 Rev180, and inserted <code><txp:glx_gravatar /></code> in the form: comments (not comment_form).
Here is what the comments form looks like now..
<code><ol class=“commentlist”>
<li class=“alt”>
<div class=“lightblue”><txp:glx_gravatar /><txp:comment_name /> says:
<br />
<small class=“commentmetadata”><txp:comment_permlink><txp:comment_time /></txp:comment_permlink></small>
</div>
<br />
<txp:message /><br />
</li>
</ol></code>
But nothing changes, all the comments are just like they where before..

Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
Have you switched the plug-in on?? :)
I also note that you have the “ol” in the form. I don’t think that’s right. The “ol” is hard-coded and the way you have it you will have an “ol” for every comment which will all be inside the hard-coded “ol”.

Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
Well, see http://www.onedot.nl/blog/whieee-keyboard#commentaar
I removed the ol tags, and it seemed that it is all in the CSS of the MX4 template (from textpattern.org).
But still, having the tags removed making it all look bad, still didn’t show the gravatar.
Of the 3 posts, and 3 numbers, you see there.. removing the ol or changing it to something else like p, it will show 6 numbers, the post and the space between it seems.

Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
OK. No problem. It’s just unusual to nest them like that. The plug-in is definitely switched on because the code is showing in the source so why don’t they show? I’ll have to think. Let me get used to your CSS.
In the mean time you seem to have not closed a “p” tag for your “more” link?

Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
Thanks :)
Actually it was a nested p tag, to get the more thing working: <code><p id=“more”><txp:body /></p></code> But since the body gets the p tags, it was double. Excerpts seem to get them too now. So i removed the whole more code, and the extra p tags. Looks a lot cleaner now.
I would be damn glad if you can find the problem with the Gravatar :)

Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
First thing you need to do is add – class=“gravatar” – to your gravatar tag. See what happens.

Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
I believe that did it! At least, there are little squares now in front of the names at the comments. Doesn’t someone without a Gravatar account get a random Gravatar? Cause then i’ll find one :)

Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
No you have to create one and upload it to your images directory then add default=“full/path/to/image” to the tag. You can also use size=“40”. I believe 40px is the default but if it’s there you can adjust the size to suit your layout

Re: Plugin: glx_gravatar
As I have a Gravatar I’ve popped a comment in so you can see it working. By all means delete it when you’re sorted.
