django-gravatar is a Django application that exports template tags to convert email addresses to Gravatar-stored avatars, as dynamically generated hyperlinks.
By including the app, django_gravatar
, in your settings module, you can
load a custom templatetags module, gravatar_tags
, to generate a Gravatar URL
from an input of an email address and a set of optional parameters.
To load the custom tags into your template, include the following:
{% load gravatar_tags %}
Currently, this will enable the following tags:
{% gravatar_url <email> <params> %}
{% gravatar_url <email> %}
Where <email>
is either a string variable or a string literal of an email
address, and <params>
is either an object or dictionary variable of the
following set of parameters:
size
-- corresponding to Gravatar parameters
, the value must be between 1 and 512, inclusive. The default is 80.rating
-- corresponding to Gravatar parameterr
, the value must be in('g', 'pg', 'r', 'x')
. The default is'g'
.default
-- corresponding to Gravatar parameterd
, the value must be in('identicon', 'monsterid', 'wavatar', '404')
or a valid URI. The default is nothing.
For size
and rating
, when the given value is already default (i.e., 80 or
'g'
, respectively), it will be omitted in the generated URL parameters.
If no <params>
argument is supplied, the defaults will be used (that is,
omitted to rely on Gravatar's default fallback values).
Besides the django_gravatar
directory, where the app logic is that you should
include or point to in your project, this directory also includes a dummy project
harness to demonstrate and/or test the app.
To demonstrate the example harness:
# from this directory
$ python example/manage.py runserver --pythonpath='.' \
--settings='example.settings'
Then browse to:
http://localhost:8000/email/<some@email.address>
To run unit tests (one is included with the django_gravatar app), use the harness:
# from this directory
$ python example/manage.py test --pythonpath='.'
