Custom Avatars For Comments

This plugin was initially written for a client and he agreed to open-source it. Thanks, John! Your visitors will be able to choose from the avatars you upload to your website for each and every comment they make. This can make leaving a comment on your blog more fun and more interesting for the visitors. See the comment form at the bottom for an example.

Downloads are available at wordpress.org.

The beautiful avatars on this page were created by Deleket.

Most plugin demos are disabled at the moment. I'll restore them as soon as possible.

This is a comment with a custom avatar from the list above the comment form. Nice, isn't it.

  Haha. I just noticed this old comment. The old custom avatars in the comments are gone because I moved the wordpress install to a new server and didn't export all meta data. See lower on this page for comments with custom avatars.

  This is another comment, this time showing my gravatar. Gravatars can be disabled if you like.

As I understand, everybody can choose the same avatar or change. So maybe it's more like a "mood" presentation, no ?

  Well, I guess you could say that. Depends on the avatars you have of course. If you used some product images for example that wouldn't be too moody.

Nice work! Is there any way to have the plugin automatically pick an avatar for new commenters. (like monster.ids from gravatar) I am afraid my commenters won't know to manually choose one.

- Nicolas wrote this comment on April 2, 2010, 5:59 p.m.
  
  Actually, do you mean something like select one randomly? That would be very easy to add. With some additional coding it could even be persistent, so that the plugin remembers a user's avatar and automatically selects it on the next visit.

    Yes I would love for it to choose them at random - so everyone doesn't default to the same avatar. That would be excellent!. And if it could remember that would be nice too!

  Sure, you can add a default.png avatar and set the checkbox to use that as default. That will override gravatars. Or, you can set a checkbox to always select the first avatar from the list automatically. I'm not sure how the files are sorted though atm, I guess I should look into that code.

  If what I wrote above doesn't work try the dev release that will be available in 15 minutes here: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/custom-avatars-for-comments.zip It has a new checkbox at the bottom to reset the form. Please do tell me if any of the steps fixes your problem.

  Hm, very sorry about this. I had this problem while developing the release but thought it was gone. Please try to deactivate the plugin, then delete it (through the plugin admin page). Then reinstall. That will erase all your settings. I kind of suspect the config upgrade code to be broken, I'll test this right now.

Wow, fast answer. I'll test it out and let you know. I have a little feeling that the template I'm using (http://arrastheme.com)might be broken a few places. It uses some kinda special widget code, that rewrites a widget.php page when installing and using widgets. It is after all a free wannabe-premiumpaid theme. So it's gotta have some flaws - the searchbox sidewidget has to be at the buttom for instance. But that's just some unclosed divs somewhere I think.

    Yes, the earlier versions didn't either. I'm not sure if I should do it because users need to upload their own avatars anyway. Maybe some day if I have some nice default avatars, with the right license.

All right, I tried both of your problem solving solutions, still wont work (apart from the link to the plugin at the bottom of the page). I also tried to change the theme to the default one to know if it was something with my theme, but it wont work in the default either. I have added pictures to the commentsavatar folder, they are 100x100px, could that make a problem?

Great plugin! Also, I was wondering if there was a way for the admin to have access to different plugins such as admin.png or something along those lines? Just something to differentiate from regular users and the admin team. Thanks. Great work.

  Hi Torrey, yes, such a feature is relatively easy to add. The admins can still use the gravatars though, even with the plugin active. But I'll keep it in mind for a future release.

I am having some trouble getting the "Pick An Avatar" Option. I have added the title for the selection, and a few avatar images in the folder. But still, the "Pick an Avatar" option is not showing up. What do I have to do? Do I have to add a line of code somewhere? Or do I have to re-name the avatar files to something specific? Thank You

  Hi Bhavya, did you check the FAQ? Yes, it's possible to add the select field by hand to your theme. Or maybe you checked the box on the settings page to hide the avatar field. Or your theme wasn't coded properly.

I just discovered that the text "custom" avatar seems to be a placeholder for an image. it seems that this can also be selcted and will be displayed as "custom avatar" as if it were an image... hmmm, not sure. take a look: http://thekeystothezoo.com

i solved the problem with the 'custom avatar' issue - discovered that if uploaded files were not checked in, then the list of avatars included both .LCK files and those not locked. (this does affect Dreamweaver users who have enabled checkin/out)

  Hi Deb, that's right, the plugin doesn't check if files in the avatar directory are images or not, and tries to display them all.

Hi Nicolas. Really love your work here! I gave it a go but unfortunately the avatars don't seem to display at the comments section after having submitted a comment. (everything works great until that part)I'm sure it's a coding issue on my theme, just that I'm unsure of where to tweak or how.

  Hi Adrian, thanks! The plugin assumes that the theme uses gravatars. There's some documentation about them on this site: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Gravatars I guess you wrote a custom comments loop? You could have a look at what the default theme does, the plugin works with it. Something like <code>echo get_avatar($comment, 64);</code> should work.

  That's right, the custom avatars don't appear in the admin. I thought that was a good thing, but maybe I'll add an option so that they are used in the dashboard as well.

  Hi Lauren. You need to find avatars you want to use and upload them to your FTP server. Create the directory the error mentions and put your avatars in there.

  The location can change from server to server. The wp-content directory is usually in your WordPress root directory. If your ftp client doesn't like the trailing slash just try to omit it, it's not needed.

Thanks for answering. Could it be called a subdirectory in wp-content? Or a folder? These might be stupid questions but, to me, the only stupid questions are the ones not asked.

Reply to this comment
- Nicolas wrote this comment on June 6, 2010, 7:04 p.m.
  
  Yes, wp-content/commentavatars/ is a subdirectory of wp-content/. And yes, sometimes directories are called folders. Maybe I should include one or two avatars with the plugin, but I'd need to find some where the license allows to redistribute them. And not everybody would use the shipped avatars anyway. Right now you have to create the directory and upload images when you install the plugin. Maybe I'll find a solution to avoid that.

        I see that you theme doesn't use any avatars. The plugin can't add avatars to themes, it lust modifies which ones are displayed. So you will need a theme that uses avatars. Btw, removed the link for obvious reasons ;-)

  Hey Molotov, I'm not quite sure what you mean by popup. You could use a few lines of JavaScript or jQuery to make a 'css popup'. Or you can limit the size of the avatar fields and and use the overflow:scroll property, that won't give you a 'popup' though, just not show all avatars at once.

    Thanks for the quick reply Nico ! I will go on in english so everybody will take benefits of your answer. In fact i mean a pop up form, for example inserting a line of text below the comment form e.g "Choose an avatar" instead of having all the avatars showing up. When you would click on the text line it will open a pop up window showing all the avatrs. Of course limiting the size of the avatar fields and and use the overflow:scroll property as you suggest would be even greater than my idea but i'm a total noob at coding so i don't know how to do this, would you mind advising me on the code i should insert/alter in your files to do it?

Hi Nicolas, thanks for the great plugin for avatars, haven't found anything like this anywhere else! I've installed it no problem on my website but unfortunately I have come across a problem that I cannot figure out! You can see my site with the plugin here: http://www.finalfantasyworld.co.uk/?p=20#comments All the icons appear nicely and they highlight ok when you rollover them, but it doesn't seem to recognise when I click on one, so it doesn't activate. Instead it picks the default avatar when I comment which is the bottom-right image. And when I set the option to automatically pick a random avatar from the admin, it DOES select an avatar but then you can't choose a different one! I've compared my code and stylesheet to what is displayed here but can't find any differences, I would greatly appreciate any help you can give... thanks for your time! ~Amber

  Hi Amber, hm, I can't see the form on your site because only registered users can comment. What you could try is to install firebug and activate the JavaScript console. I would guess that there is some JS problem.

Hi Nicolas, Great plugin idea. Not working for me though. I am using the frugal basic theme and installed the plugin and hacked the comments.php file with select(); ?> The custom avatars show up and it appears you can select one yet when I post a comment the old default avatar appears? I must have to put some code in else where I suppose? It's not to clear on install instructions on what to do about adding the additional code, as far as I can tell...I must be missing something yes? Charles

  Hi Charles, you should probably switch to the default theme just to check if the custom avatars appear there. If the avatar select is visible everything should work, no more changes necessary.

    okay Nicolas, this is what wp is telling me. No wp-content/commentavatars/ directory exists. Please create it and upload some avatars. So I went to cpanel opened and attempted to create file- HG system told me it was alreay there. So I clicked on file and they are there however, after refreashing my admin page for commentavatars the above statement is still there

      Hi Johnny, <code>wp-content/commentavatars/</code> has to be a directory that contains avatar files, not a file. The <code>wp-content</code> directory is in your wordpress install. I hope that helps.

Hi Nicholas, Its a great plugin you got there. However I fail to get it working. I have activated it, created the wp-content/commentavatars/ directory and placed about 20 .jpg and .png files in there. I cannot see any avatars on the comments pages. jack

  Hi Jack, please check the plugin's settings page, I think the checkbox to hide the avatars might be active by default. If not, check the http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-avatars-for-comments/faq/, it's probably that your theme is incomplete.

    Hm, that's rather odd. Can you check the path to the img and try to access it directly? Maybe your webserver doesn't have the permissions to read the files, I'm not sure if the plugin checks for that.

  Subscription box? No idea what that is. As for the avatars not having the square, that's a CSS thing. I guess you disabled the built-in styles.

  Hello Wendi, the plugin will work with themes that use the <code>get_avatar()</code> function call. Your theme developer should be able to add that, if not you can contact me as well. Good luck!

Hi, plugin works great, thanks for this. Is it possible to display the avatar that a user chooses when leaving comments on the homepage via a function? I'm showing the latest comments with avatars on my homepage with a function which uses global $wpdb;, but only gravatars and my default fallback are showing, not any of my custom avatars... is that possible? Thanks

Reply to this comment
- nicolas wrote this comment on Sept. 15, 2010, 12:01 a.m.
  
  Hm, I can only guess that your function gets the avatar directly from $wpdb and doesn't apply the get_avatar filter to it? $avatar = apply_filters( 'get_avatar', $avatar ) should probably do. My filter needs the current comment as global $comment as well, see <code>inc/frontend.php</code> lines 163-213.

Man, I am so sorry to bother you with this as you've been asked a million times but I just can't figure this out and it's driving me nuts. It works perfectly but for some reason the selected avatars don't show up in the comments -- it shows a blank.gif instead. My theme is calling the get_avatar() function and it picks up gravatars and everything but these are just not showing up -- either they're overwritten by the gravatar or I get the blank.gif -- but the avatars themselves never show up in the comments. When I set a default avatar, it shows up in every comment -- including new ones where I chose a different avatar after enabling the default.png one. So I went back to the default theme to check it out and this happened: http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac40/ninathing/what-1.png I uh, I have no idea what's going on here. It seems the avatars are just on top of the gravatars and they're showing because the avatars are smaller, but is that supposed to happen? Ugh. I'm so sorry, I just cannot for the life of me figure this out. I have no other comment/avatar plugins on this site. This is what the avatar tag looks like on my site: Do I need to change it or something? I confus. My site is not currently online (I'm working on it on localhost) so I can't link you to it, I'm sorry. I can show you my comments.php though if you need to see that.

Just checking what happens if I don't select an avatar.. Would be cool if there is a script that checks while you type your email address if you have a Gravatar and gives you the option to use this insted of the uploaded ones. Anyone?? Okay, it does recognice my Gravatar.. what happens now when I select one here?? Does it ignore it it does.. would be cool to have the option, because not everyone remembers if they have a gravatar

Please see the comments area of my site to see the example of what i'm talking about. (name of site is after @ of my email address) Can't wait to really get it working. Edit: My bad – I had accidentally called default.png default.jpg instead – so sorry to bother you!

I am in LOVE with this plugin but it is just not working properly for me! I see all the images I have made when I go to leave a comment. I can select an image BUT that image is just not used when the comment is posted! If I use a default image via the plugin settings that is used for every published comment. It's like my selection is ignored and set to NO AVATAR (which I am not even using as an option). When I initially installed and activated the plugin I got an error that the plugin produced 252 (this number could be off a bit...typing this from memory) unexpected characters and if I receive header errors in feeds to deactivate the plugin or remove it. Does this have anything to do with my problems? When I remove and reinstall I do not get that error again. Oh and I am using WordPress 3.1 PHP 5.x, which I assume means the host keeps it up-to-date. I know, assuming is scary!!! :B

  Hm, it looks like your site uses blogger for commments? Not sure how that works. If you can you should try with the default wordpress theme (twenty ten), if that fixes your problem. I suppose it's something with your theme. About the notice, I'll have to look into that. Odd, but shouldn't really matter.

I replaced the default image with one of Deleket, and kept your avatars in the comment area only. I'm not that good in programming.... Do you offer premium support?

Thank you so much for this plug-in! It is just what I was looking for to add to my site!! I have a question though http://misskika.com/wpblog/archives/223#respond at the moment the last icon in each row gets bumped to the row below it while the check circle stays. Would you be able to tell me how to fix this so they only show up 5 icons to a row to eliminate that issue OR even better~ how to get them to display a bit closer to each other? Thank you so much again! ♥ ♥

  The plugin includes some CSS styles that you can enable on the options page if I remember correctly. They should fix your problem.

  On your own site? Your theme probably isn't valid, try with the default theme.

  I'm not sure what you mean? You want a random avatar for each comment? You don't really need a plugin to do this, just update the theme to show whatever you like.

  Right, this site doesn't use WordPress any more. Haven't set up a demo site yet.

The avatars work perfectly on my site when I leave them in the default position (below the submit comments button). However, if I try to move them to a different location on the comments form, I can choose them, but they don't actually show up with the comment once it is submitted.

I left both sets of avatars up so you can see how one works and the other doesn't. The site is www.thefingernailfiles.com

Thanks!

Is there someway to have the commenter's gravatar show up if the have one instead of the default.png? I would love the default to show up if they haven't already set up a global gravatar and they didn't choose a custom one from the list, however, I would like their global gravatar to show up as the default if they have one set up and they didn't choose a custom one from the list.

  There is a plugin option, like "pick an avatar by default" or something on the plugin's settings page. If you change that setting the user's normal gravatar will be used in the comment list.

I love this plugin, but there are certain pages where I don't want it. Can I disable this plugin for individual pages or posts?

Hi,

The plugin documentation in my WP admin says that it's possible to see a live demo on this page, but I can't see any avatar to choose from. Am I wrong or have I missed something?

Regards,
AGC

It would be nice if you had an "upload your own Avatar" Select field on comments. Sorry if this was already mentioned can you send me a link how if it has already been requested?
