My version 3 site has been running for two weeks now very happily. But my site log says by far the biggest error is calls to 1x1.gif.
When I look in ezPublish, as supplied in the demo, the only 1x1.gif is a folder.
What is this 1x1.gif all about? Surely it should be a file with a 1x1 dot in it?
Anyone got a clue?
Richard.

See what you mean but I knocked out all those section layouts in the first instance. I am using only pagelayout.tpl in template folder which already only calls 1x1.gif|ezimage and the error I get is it can't find it in the root directory.
Clearly there is some other reference to 1x1.gif somewhere in the templates that I haven't found yet, or the ezimage function is faulty.
In the meantime I have simply made my own 1x1.gif and put it in the root directory. I hope that will solve the problem but if anyone can shed any light on why ezPublish is looking for a 1x1.gif in the root folder then please advise.
Richard.
