Favicon

Is there a facility to add a favicon to your sites url ??

Thanks

The image should be uploaded to your root directory. You will need to add the following line of code to the Head Section field of your default template via the Template Editor:


<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/user/favicon.ico">

Please note, the path to the file is /user/ because the user directory is actually your root directory. Adding the line above to your default template will ensure that it appears on every page.

It is probably best to call the file favicon.ico, and it should be a valid .ico file. I found the following site which looks very interesting:

http://www.favicon.cc

Rich,

Am I uploading the .ico file into file manager of the default template ?

It's your root directory, the User Directory. It's the first directory you're in when you go to the File Manager.

It contains "content", "products", "templates", etc.

Here's another favicon site that creates the favicon straight from one of your own images - very simple http://www.favicon.co.uk/

Only problem is my favicon won't display on our site, even though it did until a while ago. Not sure what might have stopped it working...?

Displaying in IE can take several days to start to work and there is a bug in IE6 that can stop it working so its all a bit hit and miss sometimes!

Thanks Dave, I'll try to be patient.

btw, we are using IE7. Do you know if the bug still applies?
