tag, for example) or you can control the placement of the icons manually if you don’t mind adding a single line of PHP to your theme. 4. Wavatars are based entirely on email and are thus very portable. The same email will result in the same Wavatar, even on different sites, so users will have the same icon on all Wavatar-enabled sites. (Assuming, or course, that there are other Wavatar-enabled sites. I don’t know if anyone will want this plugin or not.) 5. This plugin also supports [Gravatars](http://site.gravatar.com/). If you like, it can show the Gravatar for a given user (if available) and fall back on their Wavatar only if they don’t have a Gravatar set up. This means users can choose to set up a unique icon for themselves, and if they don’t, they will be assigned a unique Wavatar. This is a great system that lets people personalize if they want, yet still provide a decent icon for the lazy or apathetic. ### Revision History ### Version 1.1.3 * Fixed bad encoding which would prevent wavatars from appearing if the rating was NOT blank. If the admin does not specify a rating, the rating field is omitted. * Fixed a typo on the admin panel. * The wavatar url is now URL encoded. * The image tag no longer uses the pointless “border tag, and it is now properly closed. * Removed extra (pointless, harmless) repeated calls to strtolower (). Thanks to Gavin Lambert for many of these changes. ### Version 1.1.2 * Made several small changes to comply with the changes at gravatars.com. Appended. jpg to the $md5 hash, switched to using the new (shorter) field names. * Fixed bug where the plugin was inserting wavatars in places it shouldn’t, such as RSS comment feeds and in sidebar wigits. The auto-placement will now ONLY place icons when viewing a single post or a page. * When placing icons manually within their theme, users should use `wavatar_show( $comment->comment_author_email)` as opposed to wavatar_show($comment_author_email), as the eariler versions directed. The latter will work in some situations but fail in others, and so the former is more correct. The readme and the admin panel have been updated to reflect this. * The admin panel will now list how many wavatars are in the cache. ### Version 1.1.0 * Fixed bug where setting AVATAR_SIZE to an odd number would cause PHP to pass floating-point values to imagefill (), which is not a good idea. * Fixed bug where gravatars were always requested at 60×60, instead of the size defined in the admin panel. * Added the function wavatar_get (email, size), which will return the url of the requested avatar instead of displaying it. This can be useful if you want to use the image in other ways, such as making it the background of an HTML element. You could also use this if you need to display the image in a rectangular area instead of a square. * Added option for controlling the rating of gravatars. (G, PG, R, X) * Added options for how to handle users who leave the email field blank. You can choose to give them a wavatar anyway, to give them a blank image, or show no image at all. * The link back to the wavatars homepage in the footer is now actually a link and not just text. ### Version 1.0.1 * Initial release. ### Advanced Tricks #### Using wavatar_show () If you place Wavatars by calling wavatar_show () manually, note that you can also specify an optional “size” argument to override the default. For example: ``` wavatar_show($comment->comment_author_email, '160'); ``` This would cause the Wavatar to be 160×160 pixels, even if the default was set to some other value. You could do this to make admin icons larger, for example. #### Using wavatar_get () If wavatar_show () STILL doesn’t give you enough control, you can call: ``` wavatar_get(email, size); ``` And it will return the URL to the created image without writing anything to the page. #### Random Wavatar Field Put this code in your theme: ``` for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) wavatar_show ($i); ``` It will generate a field of 100 random wavatars, which is amusing. This is how I generated the wavatar screenshot. It’s also a great way to quickly test you source images if you’re editing the composite parts to make new wavatar types. ## Screenshots * [[ * A random selection of Wavatars. ## Installation 1. [Download](http://www.shamusyoung.com/files/wavatars1-0-0.zip) the plugin. 2. Copy it onto your website in the wordpress `/plugins` folder. Then enable the plugin. That’s it. Wavatars will instantly appear for all posts (even old ones) on your blog. If you don’t like how the image looks within your theme, read on… The administration panel is under Options » Wavatars. You can adjust the size of the Wavatars, and assign HTML to come before and after each image to help nudge it into place. Each image is also set with the CSS “wavatars” class. On my own site, I don’t have any HTML prefix or suffix, and instead just added these lines to my CSS: ``` .wavatar { float: left; padding: 3px; background: #fff; margin-top: -25px; margin-left: -25px; margin-right: 5px; } ``` If that still doesn’t give you enough control over wavatar placement and you don’t mind editing your theme, just turn off automatic placement and add the line `wavatar_show( $comment->comment_author_email);` to your comment loop wherever you want the image to appear. Your mileage may vary. How it will look depends largely on your current theme. Note that the plugin requires that your install of PHP support the GD library. If it doesn’t, the Wavatars won’t show up and you’ll get a warning in the Wavatar admin panel. You can still use this plugin to display Gravatars, even if the GD library isn’t available. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4a17ee7e986abecf97fff2f41bab6d025aaa0a1ec96bc3e40d2dd818b4daaa87? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Unable to upload the plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-upload-the-plugin/)󠁿 [Elimuhub Tuition And Education Consultants](https://profiles.wordpress.org/elimuhub/) జూలై 28, 2023 Unable to upload unable to upload the plugin on my website [ Read all 1 review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wavatars/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Wavatars” is open source software.
