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".

Re: Favicon
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?

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

Re: Favicon
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.

Re: Favicon
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

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?
