Suggestion: Move Anonymous.gif into theme

  • Hi all I have a small suggestion.

    The default avatar is located in the /utility/anonymous.gif and hardcoded to its url and extension (gif file) several placed in the code. I would like to suggest this be moved into the default theme for better seperation of code when customizing TC.

    Thanks.

  • Thanks for your feedback Anders, I have passed that on to our development team.

    As a work around for now - if you're on IIS7 you can use Url Rewriting to rewrite requests to /utility/anonymous.gif to /myanonymousavatar.gif - either through siteurls.config, the IIS7 Rewrite Module or another Url Rewriting solution.

  • Hi Alex, thanks for suggesting the siteurl IIS7 solution. We are on IIS6 but could possibly also find a rewrite solution on that. We just don't have time, so will simply override the one in utility for now.

    Good to hear you are passing on the message.

    Best,

    Anders
