Gravatar_image_tag

Rails
1

Hi,
In my application I’m using gravatar_image_tag to retrieve user’s
avatar.
I would like to show a custom image(registered in my assets directory)
in
case that user do not have an gravatar account.
How could I do it?

thx
Bruno M.

The gravatar_image_tag gem has a configuration point for setting your
own default image rather then using the Gravatar default.

You can do it inline like so:

gravatar_image_tag(‘[email protected]’, :gravatar => { :default =>
‘http://example.com/images/your.png’ })

Or you configure it globally in an initializer

config/initilizers/gravatar_image_tag.rb

GravatarImageTag.configure do |config|
config.default_image = ‘http://example.com/images/your.png’
end
