Post by: Luca on November 19, 2012, 19:01:09

@Datahell

Thank you for your answer, I've read it already...
The subsite favicon' path shows correctly, I mean the URL is pointing at its subsite location (http : // domain.com/subsite/media/images/favicon.ico). Actually, it is pulled out from the mother site' media folder, resulting in the same favicon being used for both sites.

Maybe I am missing something, or this is the expected behavior... Anyway, is a very very minor point for me

Ok..

Returning on this subject..

Is that correct to have the favicon.ico (for the site #2) in the

Quote

/public_html/media/images/site2

folder, in order to be correctly displayed in the relevant subsite?

because it appears not...

Elxis does not separates favicons based on the sub-site.
BUT you can easily do so by using setFavicon method of the elxisDocument library.

eFactory::getDocument()->setFavicon('url of favicon here');

The best place to do so is inside your template's index.php file.

Example
Let's say in Elxis root folder you have favicon.ico for the mother site, favicon2.ico for sub-site 2, favicon3.ico for sub-site 3, etc...
You can also use PNG images instead of ICO ones, and name them whatever you like.
In template's index.php file write:

Code: [Select]

$favicon = 'favicon.ico';
if (defined('ELXIS_MULTISITE') && (ELXIS_MULTISITE > 1)) {
     $favicon = 'favicon'.ELXIS_MULTISITE.'.ico';
}
$favurl = eFactory::getElxis()->secureBase().'/'.$favicon;
eFactory::getDocument()->setFavicon($favurl);
