Gravatar for Laravel

A simple bundle to create Gravatar links and images.

Installation

Drop the Gravatar bundle into your /bundles directory and register it in your application/bundles.php file. Optionally you can change the defaults in the config/gravatar.php file.

You could optionally just drop the gravatar.php and config file into your Laravel /application/libraries folder and have it load as needed.

Generate a Gravatar

echo Gravatar::get( 'you@example.com' );
  // http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/4fca794da0cf08804f99048d3c8b39c1?

echo Gravatar::get_image( 'you@example.com' );
  // <img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/4fca794da0cf08804f99048d3c8b39c1?" alt="">

Generate a Secure Gravatar

You can create URLs and IMG tags with Gravatars secure URL.

Gravatar::get_secure( 'you@example.com' );

Gravatar::get_secure_image( 'you@example.com' );

Configuration

See the config/gravatar.php file for full descriptions of config options.

Also see the gravatar.php file for additional arguments you can pass on a function call.
