Installed language pack - header not displaying well

Not sure if this is the right area for this question...

I have just installed a language pack (Japanese) on my test site http://english.globalpeace.jp/store/.

I am not sure why, but the header logo is messed up... I get the words ‘FAVICON CODE’ in the top LH corner and the liquid center section is out of whack...

I don’t understand why it is messed up as all I did was install language packs... When I click on the English button, it appears to work fine.

Can anyone help out with this?

Thanks!

I have just tested things on Internet Explorer (Win), FireFox (Win & Mac) and Opera (Mac) and all display the same problem. However in Safari, everything displays fine...

FAVICON CODE

This is defined in the /includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php
Chances are your japanese language pack is not fully current, so is missing this and other definitions.

Yes, it is a pre-release version for 1.3... Would that be causing the liquid area of the header to scrunch up too?

Re: Installed language pack - header not displaying well

Yes.

Your custom code in templates/common/html_header.php is not finding a japanese definition for FAVICON_CODE.

The display of FAVICON_CODE text on the screen is pushing the line down by the same distance as the text.

Your favicon modifications are not the same as what is in a standard v1.3.x installation:

html_header.php is normally this:```php

<?php if (defined('FAVICON')) { ?> <link rel="icon" href="<?php echo FAVICON; ?>" type="image/x-icon" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo FAVICON; ?>" type="image/x-icon" /> <?php } //endif FAVICON ?> ```and the contents of FAVICON are defined in languages/YOURLANGUAGE/meta_tags.php:```php // favicon setting // There is usually NO need to enable this unless you wish to specify a path and/or a different filename // define('FAVICON','favicon.ico'); ```(And you would uncomment that last line and enter the full path to your favicon.ico file to customize it, as you have currently done for your site)

Re: Installed language pack - header not displaying well

Thank you very much! The header is looking very good!

I opened the Japanese meta_tags.php and added the favicon code from English meta_tags.php in the appropriate place...

Re: Installed language pack - header not displaying well

Note for users that may be experiencing similar problems:

I was upgrading and added a new version of includes/languages/my_template01/japanese.php recently and the problem above occurred again. I found this thread again and began messing around with meta_tags.php but could not get it working.

After much messing around I realized I needed to copy, this piece of favicon code into the J version of includes/languages/my_template01/japanese.php:

//define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS',DVD’s , Books ');
// Favicon
define('FAVICON_CODE','<link rel="icon" href="http://MY_URL.../favicon.png" type="image/x-icon" />'.
'<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://MY_URL/favicon.png" type="image/x-icon" />');

// END: moved to meta_tags.php
