The default picture setting in Drupal is normally an internal link, (e.g. /files/mypic.gif) but the Gravatar URL requires the full URL http://www.mydomain.com/files/mypic.gif. I think it would helpful to automatically append the domain for the URL string.

hum, yes

> "but the Gravatar URL requires the full URL http://www.mydomain.com/files/mypic.gif."
yes too

Hum, why ? The Gravatar picture is not downloaded on your website, no cache, it's read from site.gravatar.com.

I don't understand what you want ?! :-P

I'm talking about the default user picture that's located on the local webserver and is displayed if the user doesn't have a Gravatar account.

Normally (if Gravatar isn't installed) you would enter an internal link in this field, e.g. "/somepath/somefile.jpg". Gravatar module expects a full URL including the domain name, e.g. "http://www.mydomain.com/somepath/somefile.jpg". I had to look at the code to figure out why it didn't find my default picture. I think the URL should be prepended automatically, since I doubt anyone uses an off-site default.

Fixed ! :-)

if (!preg_match('/^[a-z]+:\/\//', $default)) {
  global $base_url;
  $default = $base_url . '/' . $default;
}
