Set Default Avatar

meetdilip

Don't mind but current default avatar are bit, err .. unattractive. Can I set a default avatar image or use a more aesthetic pack (if available) ?

The default gravatar icon is defined here, the other default ones available are:

404: do not load any image if none is associated with the email hash, instead return an HTTP 404 (File Not Found) response
mm: (mystery-man) a simple, cartoon-style silhouetted outline of a person (does not vary by email hash)
identicon: a geometric pattern based on an email hash
monsterid: a generated 'monster' with different colors, faces, etc
wavatar: generated faces with differing features and backgrounds
retro: awesome generated, 8-bit arcade-style pixelated faces
blank: a transparent PNG image (border added to HTML below for demonstration purposes)

At present, we do not allow admins to select between the "defaults" provided by Gravatar, although I don't see why we couldn't add that in #1432

Implemented as of https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/commit/c9551abc5dcc9906aafdd00ca21fd1d28afb5a93, you can either select one of the defaults from gravatar or upload your own. You need to update the vanilla theme to see the new settings in the ACP.

I asked for it about a month ago.

edit:
but its not working.
it links the gravatar-default.png to http://i1.wp.com//uploads/gravatar-default.png -> not a valid link

Thanks should be fixed in https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/commit/1a9ab9d1d2fc273eb7875a40e7bde6d9dec7ac5c, and yes images need to be accessible on port 80 or 443.
