[acqua]

i want my users to use their own avatars in post comments

how do they do that? i allready enabled gravatar...is it something they can do allready?

If you're using Gravatars, then the users need to create a Gravatar account in order for their avatars to show up.

Ah, the code that goes into the Theme. Okay, here's the code I use for my comments.php file. (Yes, I know - it could be better, but I just don't have the time to perfect the HTML output at the moment.)

	    	<ol id="comments">
				<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
					<?php // Michael Martin's comment/trackback separation script ?>
					<?php $comment_type = get_comment_type(); ?>
					<?php if($comment_type == 'comment') { ?>
 
	    		<li class="<?php if($comment->user_id == '1') echo 'author-comment'; else echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>">
					<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 48 ); ?>
					<cite><?php comment_author_link(); ?> &nbsp;Says:</cite>
					<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
						<em>Your comment is awaiting moderation.</em>
					<?php endif; ?>
					<br />
					<span class="commentmetadata">Posted on <a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>"><?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?> at <?php comment_time() ?></a> <?php edit_comment_link('<br />Edit this comment','',''); ?></span>
					<?php comment_text() ?>
	    		</li>
				<?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */	
					if ('alt' == $oddcomment) $oddcomment = '';
					else $oddcomment = 'alt';
				?>
				<?php } else { $trackback = true; } /* End of is_comment statement */ ?>
				<?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>
			</ol>

Notice the part that looks like this:

<?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 48 ); ?>

That is what you use to call the Gravatar. The number is the size of the avatar (base 8, 16, 32...). You'll see I chose 48 since that's "just right" for the design I'm working on at the moment.

hi, what should the above code u posted do? i tried it but it just screwed up my layout and still i cannot choose my own avatar

You need to put the <?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 48 ); ?> in the list item that has your comment data.

What does your comments.php file look like?

and what does this do?

anyway my comments.php:

<?php // Do not delete these lines
if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');

if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
    if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) {  // and it doesn't match the cookie
?>

<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>
<?php return;
    }
}

/* This variable is for alternating comment background */ $oddcomment = 'class="alt" ';
?>
<!-- You can start editing here. -->

<?php if ($comments) : ?>
    <div style="text-align: center; color: #E1DFDF;"><h3 id="comments"><?php comments_number(__('0 Commenti', 'kubrick'), __('1 Commento', 'kubrick'), __('% Commenti', 'kubrick'));?></h3></div>

    <ol class="commentlist">

    <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>

        <li <?php echo $oddcomment; ?>id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
        <?php echo get_avatar( $comment, 48 ); ?>    
            <font style="color: #FFD600; weight: bold; font-size: 12px;"><?php printf(__('<cite>%s</cite>', 'kubrick'), get_comment_author_link()); ?></font> - <a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>" title=""><font style="color: #FFD600;"><?php printf(__('%1$s ; %2$s', 'kubrick'), get_comment_date(__('j F Y', 'kubrick')), get_comment_time()); ?></font></a> 
            <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
            <em><?php _e('Your comment is awaiting moderation.', 'kubrick'); ?></em>
            <?php endif; ?>
            



            <font style="color: #fff;"><?php comment_text() ?></font>

        </li>
    <?php
        /* Changes every other comment to a different class */
        $oddcomment = ( empty( $oddcomment ) ) ? 'class="alt" ' : '';
    ?>

    <?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>

    </ol>

 <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>

    <?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>

     <?php else : // comments are closed ?>

That bit of code fetches the Gravatar. When you say it's messed up, does it look like a layout issue, or is it just not there, throwing a PHP errror, or what?

And as I said, you have to select your avatar from the Gravatar service in order for it to be used on your blog. (It'll also use the same avatar on other blogs as well.)
