Add Local Avatars
Table of contents
Description
Adds local (private) avatars for your users. Maybe your users don’t want a global avatar, aren’t IT savvy enough to set a Gravatar up, simply want a private avatar for your blog, or any other reason too…
The plugin also delivers the much requested feature of allowing users to upload their own local avatar. This feature can be turned on and off by Administrators.
The local avatar feature list:
Have global or local avatars for your users.
Allow avatars to be included in posts. This is achieved securely; e-mail addresses are not exposed.
Detailed control over the default avatar to use for those users who do not have a global or local avatar. Allows a choice of a custom image, ‘mystery’ blank image, blank, Wavatar, Monster ID, or Identicon.
Wraps avatars in code to support SnapShots (www.snap.com), should your site use these.
Permits users to upload their own local avatars.
Usage & Settings
- Use the form, Users -> Avatars, to define any local avatars for your users. Specify the URI for an avatar image, something like http://your.domain/avatars/image.jpg, where avatars is a directory containing your local images.
- Also, you may set a default size (in pixels) for avatars and define a default image (e.g. http://your.domain/avatars/default.jpg) to use when no local or global avatar is available.
- Plus, you can also take advantage of the Gravatar.com feature to use Wavatar, Monster ID or Identicon.
Note
This addon will require the FTP + Filemanager premium option for you to define any local avatars for your users.
