Howdy,

I’m trying to display a member’s avatar in the comments area of my site.  It sounds, however, like the avatar tags need to be within a weblog tag, (please confirm), which is not the case…so my question would be how to do this, as my understanding is that I can’t put a weblog tag nested in the middle of comments tags…anyway, here’s the code I’m trying to use:

{exp:comment:entries sort="asc" limit="20"}
                <ol class="commentlist">
                
                    <li class="comment">
                        <div class="comment-body">
                            <div class="commentmetadata">
                                <a href="#">{comment_date format="%Y %m %d"}</a>
                            </div>
                              <div class="vcard">


{if avatar}
                             {avatar_url}
{/if}



                                 
                                    comment by <cite class="fn"><a href="http://{member_profile_link}class=url">{name}</a></cite>
                                
                            </div>
                            
                            {comment}
                            
                            <div class="reply">
                                 <a href="#" class="comment-reply-link">Reply to this comment</a>
                            </div>
                         </div>
                    </li>

{/exp:comment:entries}

As an aside, member_profile_link also doesn’t seem to be returning anything back.  It just outputs the URL of the blog post.

Thanks,

It sounds, however, like the avatar tags need to be within a weblog tag, (please confirm)

It’s available in the Comment module as well, take a look.

Hi Ingmar,

So, that would imply that my avatar should be showing up in my comments.  If you look at my code example above, I have exactly the code that you pointed me to.  The issue is that my avatar isn’t showing up, even when I’m logged in.

Any thoughts on why that might be happening?

mrpiano, I haven’t tested this yet, but the avatar is for the *author* of the entry.

But let me doublecheck—I used to use the Gravetar plugin for comments.

Hi Sue,

I am, in this case, both the author of the entry and the commenter on the entry…not sure if that helps or not, but thought I would let you know.

Is the avatar image showing up for the author of the entry? I understand it is not showing up for the commenter.

Also, this similar thread
may be of some use. Thanks!

Hey Adam,

So, I only have the tag in the comments section, so I’m not trying to pull it for the author, but only for the commenter.  In this case, I’m both 😊

Hi mrpiano,

Did you check the settings at My Account > Edit Preferences (the resolution John posted in the thread that Adam linked to)?

Cheers

Greg

Hey Greg.

Got this worked out through a series of code tweeks.  Thank you!
