Gravatar-enabled

The comments on this blog are now Gravatar-enabled. I didn’t use a plugin, just 2 lines of PHP. It’s pretty fascinating going through old posts and comments and seeing who has a Gravatar already. Do you have an account yet?

    “Do you have an account yet?”

    Why yes, yes I do. ;) I’m so glad to see you’ve picked up Gravatar. I’ve used the service for years, and always considered it a simple but pretty brilliant idea. Great to see it’s getting the attention it deserves!

    I’ve had a grav account for a long time but disabled it when they went thru their upgrade/server change/2.0 thingy.

    I just recently removed Gravatars from my blog, as I thought no one used them still. Now that Automattic runs the show, I’ll have to put them back in.

    How about you show us newbs those two lines, eh?
    Apart from that … I was glad to hear that you guys had bought Gravatar. It’s a great idea and concept, and I’m confident that you and the rest of the Automattic team will make it even bigger and better.

  • George | October 20th, 2007 @ 6:53 pm | Reply

    I’m assuming those 2 lines of code just do an image tag around the Gravatar URL for a person’s e-mail?

    That’ll work, the main difference with the Gravatar plugin is that it stores a local copy of the Gravatar to reduce the load on the Gravatar server. Users’ browsers will presumably cache the Gravatar once it’s loaded, so it’ll load once per user instead of once per site…

    I created a Gravatar account but never had any luck loading my avatar from the Gravatar site… I guess I’ll see if it loads on this post…

    Thanks for the code Matt! I just re-Gravatar enabled my blog — hopefully Automattic’s acquisition will lead to greater adoption of this great idea!

  • Matt | October 20th, 2007 @ 7:48 pm | Reply

    “That’ll work, the main difference with the Gravatar plugin is that it stores a local copy of the Gravatar to reduce the load on the Gravatar server.”

    That’s only useful if you want to create more load on your server. The Gravatar server is or will be faster than yours could ever be and closer (lower latency) to your visitors. It will also update faster when someone updates their avatar.

    Jenny, MyAvatars looks very cool but once we plug in the WordPress.com avatars to the Gravatar API it’ll have more users than MyBlogLog or Gravatar ever had, combined.

  • pilgrim | October 21st, 2007 @ 6:41 am | Reply

    I expect it’s on the todo list already, but it should definitely possible to resolve more than one email address to a single gravatar account/identity. I just created a gravatar account, and then immediately had to create another one when I realised it wasn’t the mail address I use on my blog. I suspect that when the WP and Gravatar datasets merge, I’ll wind up with three.

    Gravatars seem to be really popular amongst the readers here. Few people on my blog have them and I’m thinking of going through and getting rid of the default silhouette pic so it’s not so cluttered. But it is pretty cool to see what people look like, or at least what kind of picture they choose to display. (I’m too lazy to actually stick a picture of myself in.)

    More importantly — now you have a Gravatar account, Matt. :-)

    And to Patrick Havens re: caching of Gravatars — the main reason for that was the horrible performance and downtime of the service in the past. Hopefully, that’ll be fixed now that Barry can work his magic and spread the service out over more than one server. Also note that if you’re caching them, you’ll be increasing hits to your own server as well as filling up HTTP pipes that could be used for other things (browsers limit concurrent HTTP requests by domain).

    Hi everyone, I have modified the code so you can put it on index.php, single.php, and comments.php (and it’s customizable).

    This was just the motivation I needed to add this support to my sites. Thanks.

    I reviewed the different ways to integrate Gravatar support, including this way and using the Gravatar WordPress plugin, on my blog.

    I also updated the plugin to call strtolower on the email address and to add a function to get the Gravatar URI string. You can download it from my blog as well.

    Automattic had jolly well better fix Gravatar so it supports alpha-blended PNGs or I might murder somebody.

    It’s good news. But when I try to post a comment here, there is long list of comment. It’s make me see the negative site. Site with Avatar enable take time to download all Avatar. This make me re-thinking, should I enable Avatar on my blog?

    The link on my site to download my changes to the gravatar plugin was broken – I had moved my site and the download manager templates needed to be tweaked. I tested it and it works now:

    http://dpotter.net/Technical/index.php/2007/10/22/integrating-gravatar-support/

    While I was at it, I also added an admin UI page so that the parameters could be changed without changing the code in the theme.

    Enjoy!

    Sorry for the “me too”, but I just wanted to say w00t – gravatars are cool! Glad to see WordPress pick them up, and look forward to seeing them come to life now that they have some pretty major backing!

    Wonderful, this will add great value to my site. Will need it in another language to introduce my readers to it, though. (Wouldn’t mind helping translate)…

    For the future, I hope it will offer the ability to see all comments made by a user on my site, and ability to connect to other Gravatar users :)

    We are considering updating to ad gravatar support on our site- i think this is a fantastic service and now that the user base is larger its looking even more promising.

    The signup process for Gravatar is killer. I think all minimalist PHP/ruby coders should use their signup process as a benchmark.
