Dashboard "At a glance" widget ignores get_avatar_comment_types filter

[zodiac1978]

The "At a Glance" dashboard widget does not show gravatars for anything which is not a comment.

But there can be a new different comment_type added:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/pluggable.php#L1696

Because get_avatar has its own comment_type check we can move the get_avatar out of the if/else/endif. So we can add a new comment_type with gravatars per get_avatar_comment_types filter.

Looks good. But it's more an enhancement.

I think it is a bug, because if you add gravatar comment_types per filter you should get avatars for this comment_type in all places. But the widget does not show them.

As an alternative the widget could use the same way as the get_avatar function in pluggable.php to check how to handle the comment (e.g. use the same filter to add comment_types, check for ID/email instead of just checking comment_type).

In 27384:

"At a Glance" widget: Move get_avatar() line out of if-block.

This allows you to show avatars for custom comment types via the get_avatar_comment_types filter.
