Avatars and Identicons
To activate the avatars and identicons you have to set PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_IDENTICON_DATA.
Example
PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_IDENTICON_DATA = ('author',)
Now every comment with the same author tag will be treated as if written from the same person. And therefore have the same avatar/identicon. Of cause you can modify this tuple so other metadata are checked.
Specific Avatars
To set a specific avatar for a author you have to add them to the PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_AUTHORS dictionary.
The key of the dictionary has to be a tuple of the form of PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_IDENTICON_DATA, so in our case only the author's name.
The value of the dictionary is the path to the specific avatar.
Example
PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_AUTHORS = {
('John',): "images/authors/john.png",
('Tom',): "images/authors/tom.png",
}
Theme
To display the avatars and identicons simply add the following in the "comment for loop" in your theme:
<img src="{{ SITEURL }}/{{ comment.avatar }}"
alt="Avatar"
height="{{ PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_IDENTICON_SIZE }}"
width="{{ PELICAN_COMMENT_SYSTEM_IDENTICON_SIZE }}">
Of cause the height and width are optional, but they make sure that everything has the same size (in particular specific avatars).
