Tips: Method to change default avatar type of new registered user

Question

This tips is conversation in ASKIVE. Because I think that there are many users in hope of the same (like) things, I will share it here.

Original question:

How to make default avatar on Gravatar at registration?

My (selected) answer:

Try tiny plugin below.

1. Create new plugin (e.g. qa-plugin/default-gravatar)

2. Upload qa-plugin.php under qa-plugin/default-gravatar/

<?php
if (!defined('QA_VERSION')) {
    header('Location: ../../');
    exit;
}
qa_register_plugin_overrides('qa-default-gravatar.php')

3. Upload qa-default-gravatar.php under qa-plugin/default-gravatar/

<?php
if (!defined('QA_VERSION')) {
  header('Location: ../../');
  exit;
}
function qa_create_new_user($email, $password, $handle, $level=QA_USER_LEVEL_BASIC, $confirmed=false) {
    $userid = qa_create_new_user_base($email, $password, $handle, $level, $confirmed);
    if (qa_opt('avatar_allow_gravatar'))
        qa_db_user_set_flag($userid, QA_USER_FLAGS_SHOW_GRAVATAR, true);
    return $userid;
}

This code is very simple, but you may be able to change default specifications to be related to user registeration without core hack.

Thanks Lucas.

Hi, What should be added in ('Location: ../../') ?

Hi, is it also possible to store a few avatars (jpeg files) and prompt the user to chose from the list upon registration? How can this be done?
