I've been working on gravatar / default avatar pic integration :) (Made a private SMF 2.0 mod for a customer ~ 2,5 years ago) The code is somewhat "dirty" and needs to be optimized. If I'm ready with the tuning, should I send a pull request (core integration) or should I make a modification? Both features seem to be popular, thus I'd prefer to integrate it as a default feature.
That sounds snazzy :)
I'm neutral.
Ah, cheers! Gravatar integration crossed my mind a few times. I believe Elk can and should make use of services that add to its ease of use. The web has changed, long ago for that matter, and people expect to easily use or reuse bits of their identities cross-sites.
This will make a nice addition to its toolset. :)
Thank you for your work on it! I'd say a pull request for default feature is best.
/me was drooling for this in another world...
Should be core IMO ... and Thanks!
Quick question: Do gravatars need their own permission or is it OK if I use the 'Allow_remote_avatar' permission (gravatars are remote files, too)?
Sorry for the quick reply.
I can see instances where you'd want to allow user remote avatars, but forbid use of gravatar site. Some for incorrect reasons, as you say. I still think it's better to allow admins to choose not to allow use of gravatar integration. (I will come back on this obliquely in another discussion.)
And I suppose people will want the option to allow different ratings for gravatars. O:-)
Ratings is already implemented, I'll add the permissions, too :)
Ratings for avatars? WTF?
Ah. Hadn't thought of it that way, but makes sense.
