Sound great, like the one in the Chrome OS bar? You've read my mind :)

done, see develop branch

Brilliant work again. I have set it to a static image and it works great which is enough for me at the moment, but it didn't find my gravatar image though using: gravataremail = richjack@gmx.com

Is there anyway, it could find a Google+ profile image as well?

Hi You can try this script to fetch gravatar https://gist.github.com/aanatoly/42eac40250baaabd8643 and see where is a problem. Use --debug flag

It works for me with your email both in a panel and with script

[aanatoly]

Plz post you config, I'll try to reproduce it. Just in case, fbpanel stores tmp image as /tmp/gravatar so run the script ./wget-gravatar --debug -e richjack@gmx.com -o /tmp/gravatar

[RichJack]

It correctly downloads the gravatar to /tmp/gravatar but it doesn't set it on the panel. I can manually set the gravatar icon though with: image = /tmp/gravatar

Here's my config:

Global {
    edge = bottom
    allign = right
    xmargin = 12
    ymargin = 5
    widthtype = request
    width = 14
    height = 35
    transparent = true
    tintcolor = #000000
    alpha = 124
    setdocktype = true
    setpartialstrut = true
    autohide = false
    heightWhenHidden = 2
    roundcorners = true
    roundcornersradius = 6
    layer = above
    MaxElemHeight = 24
    setlayer = false
}
Plugin {
    type = space
    config {
        size = 2
    }
}
Plugin {
    type = tclock
    config {
        foreground = "#ffffff"
        ClockFmt = <span font="Roboto 10" color="white"><b>%H:%M</b></span>
        TooltipFmt = %A%n%d %B %G
        ShowCalendar = true
        ShowTooltip = true
    }
}
Plugin {
    type = space
    config {
        size = 13
    }
}
Plugin {
    type = battery
}
Plugin {
    type = space
    config {
        size = 2
    }
}
Plugin {
    type = tray
}
Plugin {
    type = space
    config {
        size = 2
    }
}
plugin {
    type = user
    config {
        border = 0
        gravataremail = richjack@gmx.com
        item {
            name = Shutdown
            icon = system-shutdown-panel
            action = yad-shutdown
        }
        item {
            name = Hibernate
            icon = system-hibernate
            action = sh -c 'dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Hibernate'
        }
        item {
            name = Sleep
            icon = system-sleep
            action = sh -c 'dm-tool lock & dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend'
        }
        item {
            name = Lock Screen
            icon = gnome-lock-screen
            action = dm-tool lock
        }
        item {
            name = Switch User
            icon = switch-user
            action = dm-tool switch-to-greeter
        }
        item {
            name = Update panel
            icon = reload
            action = killall -SIGUSR1 fbpanel
        }
        item {
            name = Change Avatar
            icon = mugshot
            action = mugshot
        }
    }
}

What does user plugin do? Shows broken image, shows nothing? Can yoiu send a screenshot, plz ? It will help

[RichJack]

It comes from your code earlier in this issue when you posted the code needed to implement the gravatar plugin: https://github.com/aanatoly/fbpanel/issues/11#issuecomment-162133768

[aanatoly]

I can't reproduce it so far. Let try this:

• kill panel
• leave in a config file only gravataremail = richjack@gmx.com line, and remove image = .. and icon = ... lines
• remove /tmp/gravatar
• start panel

and send me a screenshot of what you have now. Thanks

[RichJack]

Okay, here's my stripped down config (hope it's what you meant):

Global {
    edge = bottom
    allign = right
    xmargin = 12
    ymargin = 5
    widthtype = request
    width = 14
    height = 35
    transparent = true
    tintcolor = #000000
    alpha = 124
    setdocktype = true
    setpartialstrut = true
    autohide = false
    heightWhenHidden = 2
    roundcorners = true
    roundcornersradius = 6
    layer = above
    MaxElemHeight = 24
    setlayer = false
}

Plugin {
    type = tclock
    config {
        foreground = "#ffffff"
        ClockFmt = <span font="Roboto 10" color="white"><b>%H:%M</b></span>
        TooltipFmt = %A%n%d %B %G
        ShowCalendar = true
        ShowTooltip = true
    }
}

plugin {
    type = user
    config {
        border = 2
        gravataremail = richjack@gmx.com
    }
}

Screenshot:

[aanatoly]

ok, thanks.

[aanatoly]

Fixed. Now it should work, see develop branch

[RichJack]

Thank you, it is fixed :)

Would it be possible to allow customization of the tooltip along the lines of: tooltip = $USER is logged in

Also, I don't know whether you would consider allowing for a Google profile pic as well as Gravatar? I've been looking into it and you can get it by querying this web address with your Google username:

http://picasaweb.google.com/data/entry/api/user/${GUSERNAME}?alt=json

eg: http://picasaweb.google.com/data/entry/api/user/chromixium?alt=json

Then the website displays the full path to the logo as follows:

"gphoto$thumbnail":{"$t":"http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wGDIB6oPy0w/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/kb8-My-IGTI/s64-c/101947769087707595037.jpg"}}}

Actually, if you decide to implement this, could the icon be downloaded to ~/.face ?

That way it would be set as the login avatar in lightdm...

Don't worry if you don't want to implement this, as I can script it to create the .face file and run at startup and then just set the image = parameter in the plugin. It'd just be cool that's all!
