I am not sure at which version BlogCFC’s support for Gravatar and the Gravatar service came together but I wanted to post a quick fix for those who may still be having problems with Gravatars on their blog.
I am currently running version 5.5.006.
Gravatars have been pretty low on my list of priorities but tonight I found myself going WTF is up with my Gravatar support. Then I noticed that my Gravatar has was all upper case. I copied the url and changed the hash to lower case, low and behold my gravatar appeared – Happy day!.
In Index.cfm, inside the cfoutput for the query comments, around line 199, find the following line of code:
<cfif><imgsrc="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=#lcase(hash(email))#&rating=PG&size=40&default=#application.rooturl#/images/gravatar.gif" alt="#name#'s Gravatar" border="0" /></cfif>
If your’s does not have the id=#lcase(hash(email)) then add it as shown above.
There you go…
