For each user who has a FishEye/Crucible account, an avatar image is displayed next to their name. By default, each user has a semi-unique avatar image (Charlatar) generated by FishEye/Crucible.

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/

    When using an external avatar service, you should use the same protocol as is used to access FishEye. i.e. if FishEye uses the secure HTTP protocol then your Gravatar URL would include that prefix, as in the previous example. Conversely, if your FishEye instance uses regular HTTP, then your Gravatar URL should do the same.

  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").
    (info) 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.
    (info) The user's login name to the external server must be the email address that is specified in their FishEye/Crucible User Profile .

If you are using a web server in front of FishEye, you will have to set your site URL and proxy host settings.
