Textpattern Support Forum

In earlier versions of TXP and MLP I placed the favicon in the root and used this in my header:

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

That worked.

With the upgrade to TXP 4.2 and MLP 0.9.13-gp, I have had to change the code to:

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

What I don’t understand is how the browser finds the favicon even though the MLP adds a folder to the code when it created the HTML. The code becomes something like:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.MyUrl.com/en/favicon.ico" />

How does that work when the favicon is actually in root (http://www.MyUrl.com/favicon.ico)?

I don’t know much about Paypal buttons, so can you tell me which part of the code should be different depending on the language? Is it just the image name?

Certainly,

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="GB" />
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick" />
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="xxxxxxxx" />
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/ES/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" />
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/es_ES/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1" />
</form>

and if in Spanish, then line 5 of the form should have this image source

https://www.paypal.com/es_ES/ES/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif

if possible, the alt text should also be exchanged but I can live without that

If you have a lot of languages on the site I think it can be automated further, but if not, it’s probably quickest if you put this code for each language in its own form, name the forms ‘en-us_paypal’, ‘es-es_paypal’ etcetera, and use something like this to call the right form:

<txp:output_form form='<txp:l10n_get_lang type="long" />_paypal' />

(edit: late again ;) )
