How to get Vanillicon to Work with Gravatar

KyleIrving

I have Gravatar installed and Vanillicon enabled, but I don't see vanillicons when users don't have a gravatar.

If you're using Gravatars, you don't need Vanillicon. To set Vanillicon as your Gravatar fallback, set this in your conf/config.php:

$Configuration['Plugins']['Gravatar']['UseVanillicon'] = TRUE;

It should just work with no config. Three things to consider:

1. Make sure you are using Vanilla 2.0.18 or greater.
2. Vanillicons only show up if you haven't uploaded a profile picture already.
3. Vanillicon doesn't necessarily work with other default icon plugins. Gravatar has an option:
   $Configuration['Plugins']['Gravatar']['UseVanillicon'] = TRUE;

ahh so if i have gravatar and vanillaicons they will cancel each other out?
