I miss a favicon when browsing the Mageia blog and forums. Maybe a little cauldron from the logo?

The blog uses the Mageia favicon.ico, maybe you need to empty your web browser cache?
(However I don't see the favicon.ico used in the forum, even with a new firefox profile).

It's a bit weird with that favicon. It shows in
http://blog.mageia.org but not in
http://blog.mageia.org/en/wp-login.php ; it shows in
http://mageia.org but not in
http://planet.mageia.org/ (just 2 examples).
I never knew where to put it on our webserver, trial and error showed that you have to either put it in all kinds of subdirectories or establish a lot of symlinks (while the favicon file is almost as small as a link).

Favicon seems now fixed for the english forum. What about the german?

The basic template by default does not declares favicon
The /de admins needs to add in the overall header something like :
- Code: Select all
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/de/favicon.ico" />
(And also ask sysadmins for pull & update from git if /de did not follow automagically /en)
You'll get also get Mark forum read ability provided you add the right line in the search results template

Will do that. But I do not see a favicon for the English forum yet.

Done already.

Now this is funny:
I put the line for the favicon into overall_header in the German forum and immediately after saving the file I saw the favicon show in the Firefox tab!
But I do not see the favicon in the tab of the english forum. See screenshot.

I see favicon in both... i guess this is due to browser and cache...

No icons in FF-tabs /en-forum here neither, i do see them in tabs for bugs.mageia.org for example and in /de-forum.

I don't see the favicon in FF either.
BUT, I looked at the page source and saw this in the <head>:
- Code: Select all
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/en/favicon.ico" />
But in the other pages that
do show a favicon the hypertext reference is:
- Code: Select all
/g/favicon.png
Putting the full address for the favicon at
http://www.mageia.org/g/favicon.pngCould the problem be as simple as that?
EDIT:
Due to maat's post I am inclined to agree that this may be a browser cache issue.

Clearing cache did it!!!!!
Now i have the cute little icon for the /en-forum in FF-tabs as well.

Yes, that worked for me too, although I did need to restart FF...

Closed the tab with the forum, emptied the Firefox cache, closed Firefox. Started firefox, went to the forum - still no favicon for the English forum. The German forum showed the favicon right after changing the template, no page refresh nor cache emptying, nor browser restart necessary.
Opening the English forum in chromium-browser shows the favicon, opera shows it too.

Nice one. So it's only missing from
http://planet.mageia.org and the
http://blog.mageia.org/en/wp-login.phpwordpress login page.
@wobo: Here the favicon showed up automagically for the english forum yesterday in Firefox.

After I removed the cookies of forums.mageia.org and restarted Firefox again, the favicon shows for the english forum, too.

Missing or wrong favicons (without claim to be complete):
http://planet.mageia.org/en/ (no favicon)
https://ml.mageia.org/wwsympa-wrapper.fcgi/lists (sympa favicon)
http://mirrors.mageia.org/ (no favicon)
http://www.mageia.org/en/about/2010-sep ... ement.html (no favicon)
Login pages of blog.mageia.org (no favicon)
All wiki pages show the DokuWiki favicon but we are changing to MediaWiki anyway.

I better communicate the contents of my previous post (list of pages with missing favicon) in the web-team list - it's not related to the forum any more.
(EDIT: Done)
IMO this topic could be marked as [solved]
