The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi,

For today:
What is the URL used for your icons in wwsympa.conf ? The parameter 
specifying this URL is "icons_url", whose default value is "/icons", 
producing, if your site base address is "http://site.it";, the URL 
"http://site.it/icons";.
Sympa doesn't do anything to your Apache config. If the URL to the 
image.jpeg file is http://site.it/icons/image.jpeg and that image is in 
the directory /home/sympa/icons, then it should be displayed with the 
config you specified.
Check that you don't have a "/icons" Location directive somewhere.
If that doesn't do anything, force the use of this directory by creating 
an alias.

For the next release:
You asked if you should put your directory in "static-sympa".
Yes and no. Yes, you can put your icons in the directory used by Sympa 
for its static content. But keep in mind that "static-sympa" is the url 
whereas the actual location on your file system is 
"/home/sympa/static_content" (by default). No, because that would imply 
to modify all the the icons sources.
For now:
- the path to icons is defined at configure time by setting the 
--|with-iconsdir| option to the path you desire. The default value is 
/var/www/icons. This will just copy the icons folder into this path.
- the URL to icons is defined by the icons_url parameter in wwsympa.conf
As of the next Sympa version, icons will be located in the static 
content directory, in the subfolder "icons" (which will give the default 
path : /home/sympa/static_content/icons and the default URL 
http://yoursite.org/static-sympa/icons). This will not be configurable, 
i.e. the --|with-iconsdir| configure option and the icons_url 
wwsympa.conf parameter will both disappear. If you want to modify the 
icons path or URL, you will do it by altering both your Apache 
configuration and the templates using these icons.

I hope this helped.
