fsaris / gravatar Goto Github PK

Currently the extension just outputs the URL for the gravatar image.

Some might see this as a privacy risk, because the backend-users send requests to the gravatar-servers and can be tracked.

This also does not work on some intranets, if the users do not have direct access to the internet. The webserver running TYPO3 might have some proxy configuration to connect to the internet (TYPO3_CONF_VARS[HTTP][proxy_host]).

The extension could proxy the requests to the gravatar servers. This is a bit slower, but improves privacy.

Note: This will not solve all privacy issues with gravatar. Gravatar will still get the hashed e-mail-addresses, but it will not get the referer-header or the users ip addresses (only the IP of the webserver).

The documentation states to have a look at https://nl.gravatar.com/ for more information. As a non-Dutch speaker or reader, I just don't understand anything on this website :)

Better would be https://www.gravatar.com/ which seems to redirect automatically to the user-preferred language.

1. Add to /.gitattributes:

/Libraries/guzzle.phar export-ignore

2. Add check to code if phar file is available

Hey,

thanks for your extension. It works very well.

Our costumers don't want to create a gravatar profile but we have to add their mail adress in the backend, too. It would be a nice option, that even if a mail address is set, also the uploaded image could be used, if no gravatar profile was found.

Kind regards,
Marc

After installing gravatar on TYPO3 7.6 I got an exception
#1439317802: The avatar provider "gravatarProvider" defines an invalid provider. Ensure the class exists and implements the "TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Backend\Avatar\AvatarProviderInterface".
