#2697 closed enhancement (fixed)

Make it easier to shut off Gravatar

Description

Related: #2367

Currently it's possible to disable Gravatar lookups by feeding no_grav=true to bp_core_fetch_avatar. However, bp_core_fetch_avatar() is called in many places throughout BuddyPress, so anyone who wants to disable Gravatar has to jump through a ton of hoops to make it work right.

A global constant, that when defined sets no_grav to true, would be an easy-to-implement solution. A similar check might have to happen in the signup avatar functions, and in the group creation process.

Rather than a global constant a better way is just to pass the $no_grav value through a filter here:

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php#L210

e.g.

if ( ! apply_filters( 'bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', $no_grav ) {

Good call. Here's a first go at a patch that provides just such a filter, and also lets the admin filter the default avatar location based on what kind of avatar it is.
