Favicon
 
Dear Alex,

Who's the rocket-scientist engineer that decided to use the x-payments favicon as default?

X-Cart should NEVER EVER put X-Cart branding as a default item on a page that a customer can see. Ever. For any reason.

Next time someone on your team does something obnoxious like this, I give you permission to take them outside, chain them to a tree, and force them to spend the night in the cold without food or water. That seems like an appropriate punishment.

Just sharing.

For everyone else - before you do ANYTHING ELSE when installing x-payments 1.0.5 or earlier, replace the favicon with your own. Once it caches it's almost impossible to change. SO don't let it cache.

Re: Favicon
 
Despite of wording chosen that's a very good note indeed and I am to
1) add a note about favicon to initial emails sent by X-Payments (will appear in its next version)
2) add the same note into X-Payments user manual into "1st TODO steps".

Alex,

You could also remove the branded favicon entirely from the x-payments install, right? No need to tell people to remove it if it's not there in the first place.

I still think "chaining to a tree" is a reasonable penalty for a developer who puts their own branding in a product destined for ecom. :-)

PS -- I have not been able to purge the favicon from my browser cache even though my fvicon has been there since day one. Maybe I have to clear the x-payments cache at the server?

Can you please tell me where the default favicon.ico file is store in the X-Payments 1.0.5 installation? I can't seem to find it to remove/replace it. Thanks.

Re: Favicon
 
This applies to XC as well and yes the favicon should not be there at all. Instead of making a note to remove it - do not include it in the package and make a not for the site owner to create their own.

@carpeperdiem - depending on the browser and OS you may need to clear a lot more than just browser cache. IE for example will store it in history files instead of cache... Mac and Safari may be different

Sometimes it helps to load it directly in a browser page (i.e. http://www.yoursite.com/path-to-favicon/favicon.ico). If you reload that page, and it displays correctly, the browser might correct its own cached files everywhere.

Thanks, but -- not for x-payments. These directories are seriously locked down.

Yes, I agree - to remove x-cart favicon from front-end part of X-Payments is way better solution. I submitted it to be implemented in the next version of X-Payments

Can you please tell me where in the X-Payments installation the favicon.ico file is located so I can remove/replace it.

David,
All favicon files live in root for a domain
So wherever your xpayments root is, that's where it is.
Assuming you have a dedicated subdomain (cpanel account) for your xp install?
