Jcomments integration with Identicons, MonsterID’s, and Wavatars

[agez]

Hello,

First of all, amazing component, best aut there

I would like to use Identicons, MonsterID’s or Wavatars as my default avatar. Can someone help me with this?

At this moment you need to make some code modification.

1. Open file /components/com_jcomments/jcomments.php
2. Find code:

Code: (php)

$comment->avatar = '<img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id='. $comment->gravatar .'&amp;default=' . urlencode(JCommentsFactory::getLink('noavatar')) . '" alt="" />';

3. Replace with:

Code: (php)

$comment->avatar = '<img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id='. $comment->gravatar .'&amp;default=identicon" alt="" />';

or

Code: (php)

$comment->avatar = '<img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id='. $comment->gravatar .'&amp;default=wavatar" alt="" />';

or

Code: (php)

$comment->avatar = '<img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id='. $comment->gravatar .'&amp;default=monsterid" alt="" />';

In future versions I'll move this into JComments settings and you'll be able to select Gravatar's default image without code hacks.

thanks smart, this is what i was looking for. Great support  

EDITED

it seems, that Jcomments latest comments module cann't display Identicons, MonsterID’s, and Wavatars avatars inside module. It loads default no avatar image. Avatar link that is loaded is this /components/com_jcomments/images/no_avatar.png Is there way to fix this? hack will be good for me

I believe the line i need to modify is 411 in Jcomments module

Code:

echo '<img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id='. md5( $row->email ) .'&amp;default=' . urlencode($mainframe->getCfg( 'live_site' ) . '/components/com_jcomments/images/no_avatar.png') . '&amp;size=' . $avatar_size . '"  alt="" border="0" />';

replaced line 411 with this:

Code:

echo '<img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id='. md5( $row->email ) .'&amp;default=monsterid" alt="" border="0" />';
