Hi!

I just wanted to add the avatars from the forum to my blogs comments. For this i used the template tag “sf_show_avatar()”. Now i got a problem…

If i logged in as admin all avatars in the commentlist become to admins default avatar.

If i logged out and visit the post as “guest” all avatars become to guests default avatar.

The good thing: If i am not logged in there´s an error message above every avatar. Maybe someone have an idea what this means: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /www/htdocs/w0057646/test2/wp-content/plugins/simple-forum/sf-permissions.php on line 25

Thats the wrong tag to use for what you are trying to do…  that tag is meant to show the avatar for a current user in the forum…  it wont show others avatars…

you should try using

<?php sf_show_members_avatar($user_id); ?>

you must pass in the user id… use comment author id… 

this function is getting an upgrade and new one in next version

Whoops!

where did you put the template tag call?  should be in your comments.php in the comment loop…

for the parameter, pass it $comment->user_id

oh, I use the other one with id… sorry…

I setup the Forum-Avatars to make Gravatar the standard, even if there is both. And it works fine so far.

But while using sf_show_forum_avatar for the comments, it displays the userdefault.png even if they have a Gravatar.
Is there a way to give the Gravatar priority, like in the forum? Or did i miss something?

Thanks in advance!

I replaced “get_avatar( $comment, 75 )” with “sf_show_forum_avatar($comment->comment_author_email)” in the Comments template.

As an example, the user “Hiramas” in the first comment normally has a Gravatar displayed while using get_avatar, but while using sf_show_forum_avatar the default-picture is shown:

But the problem with the unwanted userdefault.png appears only if the user has no own forum avatar. My test-user “spark_test” (last comment) has both and everything works fine. Meaning the Gravatar is displayed.

Looks like he wasn't logged in, since while he has an account, his user_id in the database for this entry is “0″.
(Gravatars are enabled, btw.)

But shouldn't the display-function prefer an existing Gravatar instead of the default-image anyway? Even if the user is not registered?

I checked. In his comment he used the exact same email-adress as in his account.

Works OK for me also….

I can confirm this issue for the forum, too. Users gravatars are not shown if there´s a default guest avatar. I registered a new email address at gravatar.com with a new picture. After i wrote a new post as guest (with exact the same email address used for gravatar.com) the default guest avatar is shown instead of gravatar.

EDIT: Now i tested it on different computers. First I added a post as guest with an email, that i using for a long time with gravatars.com. The gravatar is shown. After that i used an email that i registered today at gravatars.com and added a post as guest too. This gravatar is not shown instead the default users avatar is displayed. Very strange…

EDIT2: HAHAHA that´s soooo funny I got it. I actually should be ashamed… Sparkiller, did you confirmed your gravatar at gravatar.com? Please check this or tell your users to do so. Login to your gravatar account. If your gravatar only is displayed once under the sentence “Choose a an image (below) to use for the selected email (above) or add a new one” please click on the image. Then a popup will be displayed where you have to confirm the gravatar. After confirmation the image should be displayed twice and work within your comments and forums. Mine now works fine, too

Hm…I had to write another post with the guests email address. After that, the default guest avatar was replaced by the gravatar. Try this. 

I tested it at the above mentioned website. Works well. I posted as guest and i can see my gravatar. So it works…

still playing, but I cannot get this kind of behavior to occur…
