Image instead of Gravatar

Hi

I don't like the idea of being forced to use a gravatar image, is there any way of changing it so it can use a local image instead?

TIA
Kev

Gravatar service is well known and used across multiple platforms, that is why we decided to use it.
If you would like to resign from it you would need to implement your own solution or replace image with fixed one.

Yeah I get that, its what to edit in the template to remove the Gravatar option

You need to search template files for an element starting with:

Code: Select all

<div class="itemAuthor"


and remove it.
My fast search found:
templates/gk_writer/html/com_content/article/default.php
templates/gk_writer/html/com_k2/templates/default/item.php

Thanks

Will do

If you have any additional questions regarding this topic, please let me know.

Is it possible to put the avatar of Community Builder (as well as information)?

You can put anything there either by attaching an email connected with gravatar or by editing template core files.

Which core files?

They were mentioned in one of my previous posts.

Hi, Can you please link the word POST to the link you are referring to? I looked into previous post and found nothing pointing to template core files. I'm struggling with changing the gravatar, went to the templates/gk_writer/html/com_content/article/default.php
and changed ulr to my gravatar and inserted my email. nothing happening. facebook is looking at another gravatar ulr and I cannot find it anywhere. Excuse my lack of knowledge. your advise is much appreciated
