[nodebb-plugin-gravatar-extended] NodeBB Gravatar Extended Plugin

JLChnToZ

Hello everyone, this is my first post in this forum

I would like to introduce my first NodeBB plugin, Gravatar Extended Plugin.

This is a simple plugin that extends some parameters into NodeBB ACP's Custom Gravatar Default Image settings. Useful for customize the default avatars with third-party avatar generators.

Currently, it accepts these parameters:

%md5 - the MD5 string of the user's email
%email - the raw email address
%user - the user name
%size - the image size

For example:

You can use %md5 to fetch avatars from my Automatic Avatars system by entering:
https://avatars.moe/Default/%md5/%size.png

or you can use %email to fetch avatars from Adorable Avatars by entering:
http://api.adorable.io/avatar/%size/%email.png

Just enter them like this:
Preview
The url will be parsed correctly once the settings has been saved.

Here is my GitHub repo:
https://github.com/JLChnToZ/nodebb-plugin-gravatar-extended

Installation:
npm install nodebb-plugin-gravatar-extended

Yay! More plugins! Welcome to the NodeBB forum

Interested to see how you override the "Custom Gravtar Default Image" field to use %md5, etc...

@julian Thanks
The truth is, I did not directly override the field, instead I injected some code to the Gravatar function using simple JavaScript technique. You can have a look of my repo.

@Schamper any way we could use this with the EVE API plugin to pull EVE avatars?

Schamper

@Tanner not really. It would be one big hack.

That'd be fine with me but I'll leave such decisions to you lol

That was hell of a beginning @JLChnToZ

This is awesome congrats for figuring this out!

markkus

Nice plugin man! Would be perfect if you could implement the %user parameter as well.
Anyway good job!

JLChnToZ

@markkus Great idea, and I just added it experimentally.

@Mega Thanks for helping me to upgrade this plugin very much~!

Hi, it seems that the plugin doesn't work on v0.9.x branch.

In addition, we now have a nodebb-plugin-gravatar, so this one sounds like an improvement on the old one even though they're completely different

If only it had the same features, as Gravatar Extended has .

Whoa, this is great. Wish I'd known of this sooner.

JLChnToZ

Alright, I will have a look and try to fix this.

Has anyone got this working on the v0.9.x branch.

A few of my users have broken images.... Even with the current stock Letter Images.

I've tried re-installing gravatar. Disabling it and even manually uploading a profile pic and then deleting it.

Nothing has worked so far.

I still have broken user pics.

Hopefully someone can help.

Cheers
