I tried a while ago to implement this and finished doing a column in
the users table saying wants_gravatar:boolean. If it was true, then
the user.face method would return their gravatar picture like so:
if wants_gravatar?
"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?
gravatar_id=#{Digest::MD5.hexdigest(email_address)}"
else
self.avatar ? self.avatar.public_filename : DEFAULTFACE
end
but actually checking wether the email address mapped any pictures in
gravatar or not, i could not find a way. I decided that if the user
wanted a gravatar an didnt have one, hed just get the gravatar logo.
it was so much less painfull to implement.
It still appreciate if anyone knew how to perform the check.

seems there are two plugins available: http://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/rails but none of them seems to implement any check, if a gravatar exists as far as I can see, the only thing possible is to set one of three default images: http://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/url --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
