<p>Twitter avatar reloaded Plugin adds a new field to the comment form to get the user’s Twitter username and stores it together with comments and using it replaces gravatar with twitter avatar when the comment is displayed.</p>
<p>This Plugin works seamlessly and you don’t need to edit your theme files to add the new field to the comment form. It automatically adds it when activated.</p>
<p><strong>Note: Because of the changes in the way Twitter API works, from v2.0 of the plugin you need to create a twitter app and provide the access key and token. Refer to the installation instructions to find out how to do this</strong></p>
<h3>Template functions</h3>
<p>This Plugin provides 7 template functions which you can use in your theme to customize the way the comment author’s twitter id/profile should be displayed.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>get_comment_author_twitter_id($comment_id)</code> – Get the Twitter id of the comment author</li>
<li><code>comment_author_twitter_id($comment_id)</code> – Print the Twitter id of the comment author</li>
<li><code>get_comment_author_twitter_url($comment_id)</code> – Get the Twitter profile url of the comment author</li>
<li><code>comment_author_twitter_url($comment_id)</code> – Print the Twitter url of the comment author</li>
<li><code>get_comment_author_twitter_profile_image($comment_id)</code> – Get the twitter profile image url of the comment author</li>
<li><code>comment_author_twitter_profile_image($comment_id)</code> – Print the twitter profile image url of the comment author</li>
<li><code>get_twitter_profile_image($twitter_username)</code> – Get the twitter profile image of a user using twitter id</li>
</ul>
<h3>Styling using CSS</h3>
<p>By default the Plugin uses the class <code>comment-form-twitter</code> for the new twitter field. You can add CSS to that field or you can change the class in the Plugins setting page.</p>

Twitter Avatar Reloaded

Stores Twitter username together with comments and replaces gravatar with twitter avatar.

Dougal Campbell

<p>This plugin allows you to automatically add Gravatars for commenters to your<br />
theme, if your theme does not already support them.</p>
<p>According to the Gravatar.com website, Gravatars are Globally Recognized<br />
Avatars, or an “avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog<br />
appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites.”<br />
You register with the Gravatar server, and upload an image which you will<br />
use as your avatar. The gravatar image is keyed to your email address, so<br />
that it is unique to you.</p>
<p>This plugin will display gravatars for the people who comment on your posts.<br />
You do not need to modify any of your template files — just activate the<br />
plugin, and it will add gravatars to your comments template automatically.</p>

addresses to lowercase before hashing with MD5:<br />
