Favicon & link problem

Jason2 · March 29th, 2008, 07:50 AM

Hi all,

Just trying to get my favicon show in the gallery. I know I've got to add it within the <head> tags, but what template do I edit?

Also, I have the project tools add-on. Now, if I go into my gallery, and click 'Bug Tracker' on the navbar, it tries to go: /gallery/project.php... when it's /forum/project.php... Any ideas why?

Thanks!

Regards Jason

You dont add it to a template. You create yourself a headtags file insert the link there and load that file in global options.

Your next issue is easy. You have a relative url to project.php somewhere in your vb navbar. Simply edit your vb navbar template and correct that relative link to a full url.

Sorry, not entirely sure what you mean there. I create a file, name it headtags.php and insert the following?

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I would of done that if it was that easy. Unfortunately, with the project tools you do NOT have a link in the navbar template -- as the product does everything for you. So, I'm a little stuck there.

well I would make the file headtags.htm and load it in admin global options. Also if this favicon is loaded in your vb header already it should show fine in photopost since we load the vb header

as far as your projects.php file you definately have a relative links somewhere you just need to edit the correct vb template and make it a full url

Also I am not too up on the requirements of favicons but dont they need to exist in the actual directory of the url? Or your link is relative check in the header include template of vb because I see this in your vb header over photopost

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

No, I've put it in the root of my server == and the code above is configured to find it there. I think I'll try uploading a copy in the gallery directory.

I'm afraid not. It's a vB addon provided by Jelsoft and it's all done in phrases. There is no link within the navbar template! I only managed to change the name on the navbar by editing a phrase.

EDIT: Done the favicon.

Just need do the project tools problem.

I'm also having trouble with the gallery again. Well, it's not a major problem -- but I'd like to put it the way I like it

. I'm trying to get my gallery link to with www at the front at all times -- even if you put: techsupportteam.org/gallery... It was working before, it's just stopped working. I've tried creating a .htaccess in the /gallery directory, yet it's still the same. Any ideas why?

if your trying to get your gallery to run with www on the front at all times you must correct all the urls under global options and edit interation under admin.

Your project thing is still the same answer though. it really does not matter where the link is all i am saying is you must use a full url in the link not a relative one so it can be found when you load your header over another directory. I hope that makes sense to you.

I have all urls in the ACP with www. at the front -- still doesn't work.

Yes, I know what you mean. But, how am I meant to put the /forum/ on it if it's all done by phrases? I need to edit the link, but it's not in the navbar template.

Well most programs place links in the navbar. If yours uses a phrase I guess you need to visit where that phrase is defined and edit the phrase and link. I am not familiar with that program so I can not say where it is defined but I am sure the program author can tell you where the actual link is.

www. still isn't working, too.

Jelsoft are the owners of the 'Project Tools'... it is an add-on you can purchase. So, it integrates with vBulletin.

It does not matter who the makers of the software are.

Jelsoft still codes into their software this one bug and never corrects it. Every last url in vb is a relative link. They refuse to place their global variable for their site url before all links like any good software package does. My answer here still remains the same and can not change. If you wish the project.php file to be found when your loading the vb header over an external application like photopost you must make sure the project.php link where ever it is in vb look like this.

Well I know that

But what template is it going to be in? I will ask on vB.

Also, www is still not working. All links are correct within the ACP.

EDIT: Done!

Thanks for your help.

yeah cant tell if your fully done but yeah asking on vb about there product and support is best as I have never heard of project.php
