How Avalicious! works
Avalicious! is a WordPress plugin that integrates LiveJournal, Dreamwidth, and Tumblr user avatars in WordPress comments. It is a functional re-write of Also LJ Avatar (itself a re-write of some even older plugins), with the following differences:
user avatars are downloaded via the cURL library, hopefully avoiding issues with hosts that disable remote URL includes
the regexps for extracting avatars have been improved
the user’s journal URL is extracted from a comment’s URL (not the name)
the user’s name is not re-written.
Version 1.3.3
Minor fixes. Should not have better compatibility with Dreamwidth icons.
Version 1.3.2
Should now work with both HTTP and HTTPS Tumblrs. Magic!
Version 1.3.1
Small regexp fixes.
Version 1.3
Added support for Tumblr icons.
Old icons are now cleaned up automatically every month.
Small bugfixes.
Credits Avalicious! is based off the original Also LJ Avatar by Ravenwood and Irwin. No disrespect is intended towards the original authors; without their great work, this plugin wouldn’t have been possible (or at least would’ve taken a hell of a lot longer to write).
