# Gravatar Addon
|

|
|
This addon allows you to look up an avatar image for new users and contacts at [Gravatar](http://www.gravatar.com). This will be used if there have not been found any other avatar images yet for example through OpenID.
|
|
|
|
Gravatar is a popular, but centralized and proprietary service where people can store an avatar image for their email-addresses. It is widely used on many pages, for example to display an avatar for comment functions, profile pages, etc.

# Configuration
|
|
## Default Avatar Image
|
|
If no avatar was found for an email Gravatar can create some pseudo-random generated avatars based on an email hash. You can choose between these presets:
|
|
|
|
* __Gravatar__: default static Gravatar logo
|
|
* __MM__: (mystery-man) a static image
|
|
* __Identicon__: a generated geometric pattern based on email hash
|
|
* __Monsterid__: a generated 'monster' with different colors, faces, etc. based on email hash
|
|
* __Wavatar__: faces with different features and backgrounds based on email hash
|
|
* __Retro__: 8-bit arcade-styled pixelated faces based on email hash
|
|
|
|
See examples at [Gravatar][1].
|
|
## Avatar Rating
|
|
Gravatar lets users self-rate their images to be used at appropriate audiences. Choose which are appropriate for your friendica site:
|
|
|
|
* __g__: suitable for display on all wesites with any audience type
|
|
* __pg__: may contain rude gestures, provocatively dressed individuals, the lesser swear words, or mild violence
|
|
* __r__: may contain such things as harsh profanity, intense violence, nudity, or hard drug use
|
|
* __x__: may contain hardcore sexual imagery or extremely disurbing violence
|
|
|
|
