Hi,

In my application I’m using gravatar_image_tag to retrieve user’s avatar.

I would like to show a custom image(registered in my assets directory) in case that user do not have an gravatar account.

How could I do it?

thx

Bruno Meira

The gravatar_image_tag gem has a configuration point for setting your own default image rather then using the Gravatar default.

You can do it inline like so:

gravatar_image_tag('junk@email.com', :gravatar => { :default => 'http://example.com/images/your.png’ })

Or you configure it globally in an initializer

# config/initilizers/gravatar_image_tag.rb GravatarImageTag.configure do |config|   config.default_image = 'http://example.com/images/your.png’ end

Refer to the README for more information https://github.com/mdeering/gravatar_image_tag
