i'm confusing with D7, help

hi all, i'm a little confusing.....
by default there is no favicon on dolphin 7, so i want to add to it.

i edit mydolphin/templates/base/_header.html

i put this code below meta
<link href="http://smansakra.sch.id/unity/templates/base/images/unity.ico" rel="SHORTCUT ICON" />

then i refresh my community, hum nothing changed..

--------------------
so i think there must be a page cache on cache folder
then i edit mydolphin/cache/bx_templ_en_templates_base__header.html.php
i put the same line of code, but still same, there is nothing changed

--------------------
then i edit mydolphin/cache/bx_templ_en_templates_base__default.html.php
but there is nothing changed again...

i really confusing.


1. what should i edit to put my faveicon?
2. what is cache files used for?

thanks

It is NOT Dolphin 7. It is ALPHA which is NOT even BETA. You speak like it is a PRODUCTION release. If you want to build a community you should USE D6 as ALL Licensing and Features WORK. And your _header.html fav icon modification will work :)

hi, i just try as trial , not real community.....

.

.

it's just my trial community,

Well it is there. Maybe clean out your BROWSER cache and try again ;)

as what i said before, i have done it, but there is no changed, huh,

ANYONE?

HUM, WHERE IS BOONEX STUFF? HOLIDAY?

.

hi, i want to know again, see my picture below

LOK AT THE PHOTO TAB, I WANT TO LIMIT THE PHOTOS TO BE JUST 5 AND I WANT TO MAKE IT RANDOM,  i have been 3 days looking for which file that i should modificate, but i couldn't find it.

.

.

I HAVE GONE TO mydolphin / templates/base/script/BxBaseIndex.php , and i have search and read in all dolphin files ( i think ) ,

.

huh, but it so difficult for me,

.

anybody home?

Try in head:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" >

change the href= to reflect your actual path.

if you drop it in your main directory most modern browsers will pick it up. also clear your cache as usually fav ico's are small and so quick that if you do not clear your cache you will not know if they are working.

The above code works perfect for me in the base header on dialme.com actual location would be dialme.com/favicon.ico

You should try to keep it in your main directory and /famvicon.ico. If you have sub directory or subfolders than you will need to be much more specific in the code.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" >

YOUR DIALME.COM doesn't use D7, yes i know about " that favicon" , you will get the same difficulties if you install d7 and want to add that favicon.

.it makes me dizzy gam.....

woul'd you please to instal D7 alpha and try to a little modificate it?

thanks for reply

i have edited mydolphin/cache/bx_templ_en_templates_base__header.html.php

and mydolphin/cache/bx_templ_en_templates_base__default.html.php

but no changed, so the solution is delete all files on folder cache then reload my site,IT WORKS .

now, the provlem is about photos tab on homepage.

Again - will carefully.

No need to create real community at dolphin7. We don`t will produce any upgrades between versions. You will need to upgrade self.

Just for tests.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" >

Digging through wondering exactly who you are trying to come in and bully people around saying... I'm running D7 and I have something you don't have.  Okay, 1st, I along with others got to see Hookie before you were even a glint in your grandpa/daddies eye (I know from your pic they are the same person.)  Second, the favicon does work in Hookie if you have a clue as to what your doing.  3rd, to come in here and bash the Boonex people who are taking time to answer your idiotic scrotum breathed question just proves what a complete and total idiot your brother helped create when he slept with his great grandmother to make her your mother, aunt and greatgrandmother.  Are you getting my point yet?

If you don't have the skill and/or knowledge yet to code without a ton of questions to all of us then get your hands the hell out of Hookie and leave it to us big dogs to deal with.  Once we have it complete perfected and boonex gives a final stable release on it, not an alpha, not a beta and in your case not even a Romeo (Hece that would be the R version for this idiot) then stay away from it.  Currently you have demonstrated that you know nothing more than copy paste and are still confused as to the # of spaces to place in <link href="http://... /> and as such will just continue to make an ass out of yourself.  In addition, real coders never capitalize "SHORTCUT ICON" as we don't need to paly that game.

Now, go back to your lincoln logs and work on building that corner as the real brains build software.

thanks for reply

i appreciate it

Doesn't  really matter what script you use dolphin or other as long as the path to the file is correctly entered. Use a .ico and define the path  in the header. If you drop it in the  main directory most modern browsers such as firefox will pick it up and  recognize it if it's in the main directory  and   called  favicon.ico.

If you have a subdomain or subfolder install than you will have to specifically define it in the header. If it's not called favicon.ico  you will have to define the exact path in the header taking also into consideration if it is a subdomain or subfolder. So   you need to define the exact/true path.

You can even do this with google blogger as long as the path is set, nothing complicated.

thanks,

everithing is fine after i deleted all files on cache/ folders

.

.

before it, ijust deleted

1. cache/bx_templ_en_templates_base__header.html.php

.

2. cache/bx_templ_en_templates_base__default.html.php

.

.that all , i believed by deleting just this 2 files only my favicon will appear. but i was wrong. that what made me confusing.

.

i hope on 8th boonex will release beta version of this. i also always follow trac/timeline , yes many changes that boonex made everyday on dolphin code.

.

i'll be wating
