Gravatars

Hi
I was having problems with gravatars in a site using Technews, once I switched to https instead of http, and I tracked this down to line of code below, in the html/com_content/article/default.php file. It seems you have changed the way the template calls up the gravatar slightly, as previously you avoided using the http or https protocols. See your post here: https://www.gavick.com/blog/integrating ... ith-joomla

I have resolved the issue by adding that little s, but I would like to avoid update problems with this through an override. I have only used the CSS override so far, so I'm wondering how to proceed?

<img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/<?php echo md5(strtolower(trim($author_obj->email))); ?>?s=80" alt="" />

Thanks

Hi

Thank You for reporting that. I'm sending it to programmers.

Hi

A fix to that problem has been added to template packages already.

Hi
I've just downloaded the latest version of Technews and installed it and it seems the problem is still there, see;

In addition, there is also a problem with the Gravatar image shown in the login module position when a user is logged in. This also seems to be called from an http address rather than a https, and is causing an error/warning in the browser?

Hi

Ok, now I see that the fixed version was not released yet even if fix is applied on production server.

Lets make it manually than:

Edit file gk_technews/html/com_content/article/default.php and replace:

Code: Select all

<img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/<?php echo md5(strtolower(trim($author_obj->email))); ?>?s=80" alt="" />


with

Code: Select all

<img src="//www.gravatar.com/avatar/<?php echo md5(strtolower(trim($author_obj->email))); ?>?s=80" alt="" />


and same in gk_technews/layout/default.php

Hi

Just got an information that packages has been updated and this fix is included.

Hi
It seems that the latest version of this template has reverted to calling the http version of the gravatar instead of the https one. I'm getting the security warning in Firefox window again, like before, and I've identified it as the Gravatar image.
Thanks.

Hi
I would really appreciate a response on this issue please.
Thanks

Hi

Please do not bump Your own thread, it only refreshes last activity time and is moving Your question to the end of the line.

Thank You for this information. Please use the same fix as I've mentioned before and I'll let programmers know what it got overwritten again.

Hi

Change has been implemented in packages again, so You can use them instead.
