Gravatar
--------

Uses the Gravatar.com__ service to generate images.

__ http://gravatar.com

Configuration
=============

All configuration options go in the ``[hackergotchi]`` section.

``providers`` : *optional, default: GravatarHackergotchiProvider, IdenticonHackergotchiProvider*
    Order to try providers when looking for an image. Any providers enabled
    but not listed will be tried in a pseudo-random order.

``gravatar_default`` : *optional, default: identicon*
    Value to pass along to Gravatar to use if the email doesn't match
    anything. Valid values are ``identicon``, ``monsterid``, ``wavatar``,
    or a URL to an image. In the first three cases, a icon will be
    procedurally generated.

To enable the plugin::

    [components]
    hackergotchi.* = enabled

Example
=======

To never use the Gravatar provider::

    [hackergotchi]
    providers = IdenticonHackergotchiProvider
    
    [components]
    hackergotchi.* = enabled
    hackergotchi.providers.GravatarHackergotchiProvider = disabled
