Troubleshooting

GravatarHelper

The NuGet package should by default add two using statements to the /views/web.config file allowing Gravatar extension methods to be used throughout all view files. If this fails then you can manually add the following two namespaces to the /views/web.config file:

<system.web.webPages.razor>
  <pages>
    <namespaces>
      <add namespace="GravatarHelper.Common" />
      <add namespace="GravatarHelper.Extensions" />
    </namespaces>
  </pages>
</system.web.webPages.razor>

Or alternatively add the namespace directly to the relevant view files:

@using GravatarHelper.Common
@using GravatarHelper.Extensions
