For each user who has a FishEye/Crucible account, an avatar image is displayed next to their name. By default, each user has a unique avatar that is randomly formed from the text in their email address.

Alternatively, you can allow users to upload their own avatar image by uploading an image to an external service, such as Gravatar.
 

To allow avatars from an external server,

  1. Go to the FishEye 'Admin Menu'.
  2. Click the 'Avatar Settings' link in the left navigation column.
  3. The 'Edit Avatar Server Settings' page will be displayed (see screenshot below).
  4. Change 'Select Type', to 'External'.
  5. In the 'Url' field, type the address of the external service, e.g. http://gravatar.com/avatar/
    For additional security, it is recommended that you specify the following:
    https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/
    
  6. In the 'Suffix' field, you can optionally specify parameters as supported by the external server. For example, if you wish to control the type of images to be displayed, Gravatar accepts "r=g" ("rating=general").
    Note that the suffix must be in the form of a url query string, starting with an ampersand. For example "&r=g"
  7. Click the 'Save' button.
  8. Users can now upload their own images to the external server.
    Note that the user's login name to the external server must be the email address that is specified in their FishEye/Crucible User Profile .
