Interesting problem.
The Prologue, P2 and Rask themes replace the get_avatar hook with something called prologue_get_avatar. This function is defined (in Rask theme, anyway) as
function prologue_get_avatar( $user_id, $email, $size ) {
if ( $user_id )
return get_avatar( $user_id, $size );
else
return get_avatar( $email, $size );
}
Problem arises when implementing Facebook Connect - since it relies on get_avatar, posters and commenter avatars that signed in via Facebook show up as anonymous users.
Not really a coder but I'm a star at cut and paste - anyone have any ideas on how to adjust this function to account for the Facebook avatar scenario?
Thanks in advance,
John
