Suggesting a default icon Telnic/Aled: Is it possible to change the proxy to have one default icon per all domain pages? This is what is already done for template colours as the .tsm record is replicated. And same for google adsense with .gad record. So why not extend to icons, it sure would make things easier and nicer. Still can have individual overides for specific pages. Mark |
Thanks for the suggestion Mark, I'll log it for internal review. Note, however, that this would be different to the current functionality for colours and AdSense. They both automatically waterfall through the entire domain "tree". There is no granularity to say that a certain folder is a different colour. If such functionality is offered, in addition to the granularity on a per-folder basis, the complexity would increase greatly. We need to balance usability and functionality. |
Aled, The nice thing about having the logo cascade is that it brings uniformity to a domain, same as a color or template change brings uniformity. Perhaps the simpler solution is to have the proxy read the root DNS NAPTR for the logo if there isn't one at the subdomain level? Mark |
Mark, do you mean to have the same logo on all pages automatically? |

Yes, then change sub domain icons as needed[/size] |

the record is not replicated - was experimenting with having it added by default then reset for a couple of subdomains but this does not work.[/size] |

I didn't say the icon record was replicated. I'm suggesting it to be auto-replicated as an option in the future.[/size] |

i didn't say icon either Quote: [/size]
it's the template colours record that im refering to here. this also doesn't appear to be replicated as you can't change it on a per subdomain[/size] |
I suppose semantics matters. At any rate, I made the suggestion, it's up to Telnic to implement if there is enough interest. |
Mark, Very interesting point. But the other way around is true. What about if we need the logo to display only on the main page...if updated on all pages, you will need to visit every subdomain and remove the logo So it should be optional...with possibility to choose either one or all and then change the individual pages. And it should be optional for colors as well as adsense Be well. |
Yes optional is the idea. |
Howdy, folks! I just figured out, that your .Tel site can get found easily in Goolge Search/Images, through your .Tel logo. But only providing you do have a logo on your .Tel pages (at least one, on your main/landing .Tel). Just another typ, for having your images found in Google Search: Name (or rename) the logo with searchable keywords, and don't have empty spaces between the words. Example for Image Properties: http://www.mybusiness.tel/images/logo_mybusiness.gif. If you then check the Link Properties of that image (within Google Search/Images), then you get to see a link, similar to this one; htt...//images.google.ch/imgres?imgurl=http://myimages/logo_mybusiness.gif&imgrefurl=http://mybusiness.tel/ The image/logo will display within Google Search/Images, and will then most likely lead to your .Tel domain, if you click on the image/logo. That applies for any website logo. Very clever, isn't it?... Now, if you wanna have a sub-domain found that way, you would have have a logo on that sub-domain, and name it accordingly. It will probably only take a week, for your image to show up in Google Search. Possibly on the first page. Bye, folks, see ya!... |
Rinaldi, nice info. Adding a label to your icon should also help SEO, although when I view the source for a .tel, I don't see my long label from the photo Naptr record. Aled, shouldn't the CTH logo description that be there as either a title or alt tag ? Correction: my mistake - labels do appear |
Quote:
how are you setting the description? via the control panel? It's definately working if applied via a Soap API request, see here: http://oxfordstreet.tel - view the source and the long label has been applied within the title[/size] |
Yes that works via Soap, but CTH has a description field with the logo for 99% of everyone else, and that appears not to be working. Mark Correction: logo does in fact work, I have two logos on one domain, one with label, one without. |
Quote:
* I've added a bit more. Hover over the icon at http://blowdrybars.tel. Wonder what effect it will have. Cheers,[/size] |
Quote:
Mark, I've just tried using the CTH and there wasn't a problem, the tags were added as expected. Do you have an example of it not working? Are you able to recreate? Thanks[/size] |
Quote:
nice try :)[/size] |
Aled, I apologize - my mistake. Just did a Dig and the site has 2 photo records, one doesnt have a label, the other does and the proxy picked the one without. It just happened to be the first site I picked and probably the only one that I thought didnt work. Mark |
Howdy! About the .Tel icons, that get displayed on Google Search/Images: Without special treatment, all .Tel logos seem to get favored by Google Search/Images, and show up on the first page ot the relevant search (name of the .Tel domain, even without the ".tel" extension). Thats cool! Go check it out, if you can see your .Tel logo on Google Search/Images. Heya, see ya, friends! |
