Actual Gravatar URL for WP 2.6

you want something other than this?

https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/80936c0601dc95f08bb0ff4744c64722?

or what?

@whooami,

Yes, that is exactly what I want. But here’s the problem, The function outputs it like this <img src=”https://gravatar.com/avatrar/…”&gt;

I want to echo just the actual url component. So for example I can make a link to the image.

well, you can edit any of the other gravatar plugins for that purpose, I spose, if you know PHP, of course

Theres just one, theres prolly more.

actually, here:

<?php

function gravatar($rating = false, $size = false, $default = false, $border = false) {
	global $comment;
	$out = "https://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=".md5($comment->comment_author_email);
	if($rating && $rating != '')
		$out .= "&amp;rating=".$rating;
	if($size && $size != '')
		$out .="&amp;size=".$size;
	if($default && $default != '')
		$out .= "&amp;default=".urlencode($default);
	if($border && $border != '')
		$out .= "&amp;border=".$border;
	echo $out;
}

?>

thats fairly straight forward.

Thanks, that was self explanatory. However I do wish WP had some more powerful core parameters to allow customizing the avatars further. I guess I’ll just need to add this function into the theme functions and call two functions to gob done!

Hopefully they’ll add some more features regarding this for WP 2.6. It also might have been nicer if they kept Gravatars as an “official” plugin just like Akismet since both are Automattic products. That way I could just mod the plugins without having to worry about touching my core files.
