Front office favicon

[jnsgioia]

Since I updated to 1.01 the favicon on the front office has changed to a question mark. The back office one is fine. I have cleared cache and browser history.

[moy2010]

Try with the keys combination "CTRL + F5" to force a browser's cache refresh.

[jnsgioia]

@moy2010 I already tried that. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Confirmed.

Confirmed to be broken. HTML looks like this: generic <link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="/www.reprap-diy.com/shop/img/favicon.ico?1493478356"> <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/www.reprap-diy.com/shop/img/favicon.ico?1493478356"> where www.reprap-diy.com/shop is the shop_uri (domain is 'localhost'). Also four lines of HTML for favicons in various sizes.

Looking into apache's log, favicon.ico gets requested and delivered, but apparently by a picture with this question mark instead of the expected one. A request for /www.reprap-diy.com/shop/img/favicon_144.png is answered with 404.

@Traumflug @mdekker was this bug sorted out? I cant find it on github as either open or closed

[Havouza]

But I use the tb theme so...

Also, the favicons are question marks when on mobile devices and looking at the saved favorites.

[Havouza]

never me

Maybe it's a file format issue? @mdekker, what filetype is used for the standard favicon? @Havouza, what filetype did you use for the favicon that isn't working on your site?

Filetype standard is: favicon.ico

size is 16px x 16px for standard.

I have an iPhone 7 Plus, an iPad Mini 2, a Nexus 7 2013, and use Win10 + Chrome + Firefox for my desktop. A decent mix for testing. @Havouza, your site seems to be down right now but if you let me know when it's up I'll clear cache and visit on each device/browser.

[Havouza]

no its up

[dynambee]

Sorry @Havouza, this VM is having DNS problems right now.

Favicons don't have to be .ico format anymore but depending on the code used for the rendered pages there could be issues with non .ico files.

Right now on host-thirty.com I see the following:

Chrome on Windows: Original 30bz favicon Firefox on Windows: Question mark iOS 10.3 on 7 Plus: Question mark Chrome on Nexus 7: Original 30bz favicon

Maybe it's a file format issue? Try changing it to a .ico file and see if that works?

[Havouza]

I have changed mine to ico no help

[alwayspaws]

png format works fine.

[Havouza]

well mine not

[Havouza]

Minor problem, just look shit

[dynambee]

When I look at the rendering code for host-thirty I see this:

<link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="/img/favicon.ico?1495711295">
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/img/favicon.ico?1495711295">

Yet when I look at the the referenced favicon file I see the original 30bz favicon: https://www.host-thirty.com/img/favicon.ico?1495711295

The image type for the "icon" line of HTML is odd but I'm not sure if it's acceptable or not. Something is definitely wrong somewhere.

Edit: Changed link to be exactly the same as the one used in the 30bz code.

[Havouza]

I uploaded my own in the image folder but it does not change anything

Well it changed "something"... The direct link to your favicon now returns a big question mark image

I think there might be a problem with your favicon file format.

[Havouza]

<<<<<i have tested ico and png same result

[dynambee]

When I download the file from https://www.host-thirty.com/img/favicon.ico?1495711295 and open it with IcoFX it says it's a gif image with a size of 125x125.
