Integrating Tridion with Gravatar
Lately I’ve worked on a Gravatar library for .NET which I released in July. I have also recently had the chance to work on Tridion GUI extensions for a customer.
This got me thinking; wouldn’t it be cool to integrate the two? Almost immediately I thought; yes, it will be cool!
So I’ve set to work on a nice GUI extension that will bring Gravatar to Tridion users and give the GUI a bit of a social touch make it feel more personalized by displaying a personalized photo for each user.
And so the integration is really 3 different extensions that can be each used individually or together.
