How to Display Avatars in JComments

There’s only on type of avatars that is supported by JComments by default – avatars delivered by Gravatar.com. Usually, they are good enough for a specialized portal, but they really lack vividness for a portal with wide audience. Fortunately, there are ways to expand the list of supported avatars with help of additional JComments Avatar Plug-in. You can get it here: http://www.joomlatune.com/jcomments-plugins.html#plg_jcomments_avatars

Now you may want to enable the display of avatars at all. That’s how you do it:

  • Go to the administration panel of JComments settings
  • Go to the General tab
  • Set up the Plugin support parameter to Yes
  • Go to the Permissions tab
  • Here you can setup rights for different user groups that allow them to see avatars. The name of the parameter is called Display Gravatar.
Enable plugins in JComments
Enable plugins in JComments
Enable Show Gravatar for User Group
Enable Show Gravatar for User Group

After you have downloaded the plug-in, install it. Now go to Extensions Manager > Plugins > Avatars Display

Here you will have to set up the avatar type. Also you may use it as a link to an avatar in 3rd party component. Save the settings and publish the plugin.
