Sven, I don't know if it's possible but would you be able to code the ability to upload avatars to properties that allow them? This might have been asked before but I wasn't sure.
in engines you can use URLs with images or in the engine folder you can exchange the profile image with a different one. Might be the easiest solution.
@Sven - would it be possible to then have a field in SER "Avatars" and we can use a macro here pulling a random URL from a .txt file? This would be awesome! e.g. "%spinfile-<AVATARS.txt>%
We'd get so much higher success rate with a custom avatar. It looks so much more natural and is one of the first things I look for when approving a comment or application!
@sven - will it upload the actual avatars or will it require them to be hosted elsewhere? So the best way to do it would be to have a spinfolder and then in that folder have many avatar images.
Also - what are the normal dimensions for an avatar for most platforms?
%spinfolder-C:\Program Files (x86)\GSA Search Engine Ranker\Avatars\% - what ive been using. let it run during then night, yet in plone for example, it is not adding any avatars. Checking other posts made, none have avatars in them:-/

This would make the properties look way more natural, especially if you can spin them.
so gsa can upload? any example?
I've grabbed about 200 avatars and put into the /Avatars/ folder.
put into image profile: %spinfolder-C:\Program Files (x86)\GSA Search Engine Ranker\Avatars\%
But getting syntax in image profile might be wrong :-/
Is it my mistake or is this not possible?
@Zeusy, thats just a warning as it is not a file but the content of a file. Nevertheless the program can handle this as well.
@awint, just like anything else varname=content. Where content can be a URL, file path or the content of the file.
%spinfolder-<AVATARS.txt>%
"The spin syntax in Profile Image might be wrong. It produces content with {} Spins in it."
I have about 100 jpg files with 120x120 size in the folder.
@zuluranger the warning is removed for next release. When exactly is it freezing?
let it run during then night, yet in plone for example, it is not adding any avatars. Checking other posts made, none have avatars in them:-/
