I took your question and pasted it into google: How do I clear the float?.

I tend to use <br style=“clear: both;” /> (or right, or left) if I need to. But I also avoid floats most of the time, as they always seem to bork my layout, since I’m not good at them. You can do it without xhtml markup too, see Google link. =)

I ended up not being able to do what I wanted to do with the current set up. Thanks for the tips.

For some reason this isn’t working. It displays thre EE avatar no problem, but just seems to ignore the whole avatar_filename==’’ argument.

{if comments}
<div class="comments-body">

{if avatar_filename ==''}
<div style="float:left;margin:3px;"><img src="{exp:gravatar email="{email}" rating="R" size="40" border="006600"}" /></div>
{/if}
{if avatar}
<div style="float:left;margin:3px;"><img src="{avatar_url}" width="40" height="40" alt="Avatar for {name}" class="avatar" /></div>
{/if}

{comment}
<span class="comments-post">Posted by {if url != ""}<a href="{url}">{/if}{name}{if url != ""}</a>{/if} on  {comment_date format='%m/%d'}  at  {comment_date format='%h:%i %A'}</span>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
{/if} 

This is a sample of the outputted source for a user known to have a gravatar and not an avatar. As you can see it just seems to skip the if avatara_filename conditional

<div class="comments-body">

<p>Comment text

</p>
<span class="comments-post">Posted by <a href="http://www.domain.net">deb</a>&nbsp;on&nbsp; 07/10 &nbsp;at&nbsp; 07:45 AM</span>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div> 

Any help?

Yea, I just found this thread via Chris and re-directed that thread here. However, even after the wiki I am still having the issue.

I think I just discovered the problem, a third case. A non-registered commenter with a gravatar. I would think that avatar_filename should still work, but I guess it there is no entry in the database for the user then there would be no avatar_filename to check against. There doesn’t seem to be anything to check against, ie {if Non-member}. The current checks (group_id, member_id) sheck against the current logged/visiting user and not the author of the comment/entry left, etc.

Now, to think about how to cover this third case. You can see it in the most recent comments on my site. Just view the source and you can see it work on my “quick Test” but skip over Deb’s comment (the non-registered user with a gravatar)

I didn’t think about the third case! But that’s easily solvable.

{if author_id == 0}
<img src="{exp:gravatar rating="R" size="50" email="{email}" default="http://www.yourdomain.com/no_avatar.gif"}" width="50" height="50" alt="Avatar" class="avatar" />
{/if}

Yep that was it. I hadn’t worked my way down to those codes yet..lol

BTW the line actually needs to be {if author_id == “0”} It doesn’t work unless the 0 is surrounded by quotes.
