Gravatar is “Posts” ?

i have no idea what you’re really trying to do, but you can’t have a php function within a php function like that. Once you start anything with a <?php you can’t use another <?php or else you’ll get errors.

The idea is I want to show a gravatar. The code to show it is

<img src=”<?php gravatar([email protected]); ?>” alt=”altag” />

Now to display the author’s email address in WP is <?php the_author_email() ?> so in essence I must put

<img src=”<?php gravatar(<?php the_author_email() ?>); ?>” alt=”altag” />

For the gravatar of each author to show which as lawtai said won’t work. Anyone got any solutions? Im using Skippy.net’s Gravatar 1.8 Plug-in

THIS IS MY CURRENT CODE:

<?php
get_header();
?>

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
$email = ‘echo gravatar(the_author_email);’;
?>

<div class=”post”>
<h3 class=”storytitle” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”><img class=”gravatar” src=”<?php gravatar($email) ?>” alt=”Gravatar” />” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class=”meta”>
<?php _e(“Filed under:”); ?> <?php the_category(‘,’) ?> — <?php the_author() ?> at <?php the_time(‘g:i a’) ?> on <?php the_time(‘l, F j, Y’) ?> <?php edit_post_link(__(‘Edit This’)); ?></div>

<div class=”storycontent”>
<?php the_content(__(‘(Read on …)’)); ?>
</div>

<div class=”feedback”>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(__(‘Comments (0)’), __(‘Comments (1)’), __(‘Comments (%)’)); ?>
</div>

<!–
<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
–>

</div>

<?php comments_template(); ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php posts_nav_link(‘ — ‘, __(‘« Previous Page’), __(‘Next Page »’)); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

well, have you tried <?php gravatar(the_author_email()); ? >

with the () after the_author_email?

* note the space i put in at the end which you should tak eout

nope will now ??

Grr. my host is really annoying! I keep getting “The operation timed out”

Sorry gave this error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘?’ in /…/index.php on line 11

Used this code btw

<img class=”gravatar” src=”<?php gravatar(the_author_email()); ? >” alt=”Gravatar” />

Anyone can help?

YAY got it!!!!
Just had to go <img src=”wp-content/gravatars/<?php the_author_ID(); ?>ava.gif” class=”gravatar” alt=”gravatar />

And then just save the gravatars as the authors id ava.gif

For example admin is 1ava.gif

I know it’s not the best but it works ??

the_author_email() automatically echoes (or outputs) the author’s email, so it is not the function you want to use. Try instead get_the_author_email():

<?php if (function_exists('gravatar') {
echo "<img class='gravatar' src='" . gravatar(get_the_author_email()) . "' alt='Gravatar' />";
} ?>


:O O……Ill try that ??

Sorry didn’t work gave me an unexpected “{” error

try:

<img src="<?php gravatar(get_the_author_email()) ?>" alt="Gravatar" />


I think that’s what you’re looking for… (and what skippy was referring to…)

-d

Thanks, but Ive already set up everyone with their ava1, 2 etc and they also think its better

It works by the way for anyone who wants to use it ??

I am trying to get an author’s gravatar to show up on an author’s profile page. None of the comments here worked for me, so I thought I would show you the code that worked for me in case anyone else runs into this problem. This is the code I put in my auther template:


<?php echo "<img src='";
echo gravatar($curauth->user_email);
echo "' alt='' class='gravatar' width='80' height='80' HSPACE=10 ALIGN=RIGHT />"; ?>


Thanks davidchait, WOW this was like pulling teeth, but I finally got the Skippy Avatar to work using the

<img src=”<?php gravatar(get_the_author_email()) ?>” alt=”Gravatar” />

Using the “Connections Theme” I pasted the above snippet into the index.php and it worked…

I’ll play with the “prettiness” by myself
