What does the Gravatar module do for admin-created profiles that don't have a profile image?

Is there any code I need to add to my templates to get this to function?

I read on the Gravatar website where the default image can be a custom image. Would it be possible to add that option to the module? Based on Quota?

Gravatar is all based on the email address of the user account - that's it. If the email address on the admin created account has a Gravatar account, the image will show.

You can set the "default" image type in the global config for the module (Gravatar has a few choices to choose from).

Hope this helps!

Beyond the few choices Gravatar serves by default, it would be nice if the module allowed us to serve a custom image (even nicer if default images could be based on quota). Serving a custom image is built into Gravatar:

Quote: What happens when an email address has no matching Gravatar image? By default, this:

[default image]

If you'd prefer to use your own default image (perhaps your logo, a funny face, whatever), then you can easily do so by supplying the URL to an image in the d= or default= parameter. The URL should be URL-encoded to ensure that it carries across correctly, for example.

The problem is there is no way to "detect" that a user's email does not have a gravatar image and show something else (at least not that I am aware of - I can check it out).
