Favicon.ico
« on: February 20, 2014, 06:34:05 AM »
Changed our Favicon.ico file to this one.


Favicon.ico as defined in the SMF Online Manual:
Quote
A favicon is the little image that is shown in a browser's bookmarks, address bar or tabs when displaying pages from a particular site. The default favicon is the favicon.ico file and one is supplied with the SMF installation.

To change which image is used edit /Themes/default/index.template.php as follows:

Find <head> then add after:

echo ' <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />';

Most modern browsers will pickup that you have a favicon if it is placed on your site or forum root [main directory] without any code edits given that the file is named correctly "favicon.ico"

Most modern browsers have image caching enabled by default, this could make the favicon.ico not show up in your browser until the cache is refreshed, this could take hours or days depending on the browser settings. Waiting a while for the image to show is a good idea before assuming that it did not work as it is not shown as soon as it is uploaded.

Arggg!  knuppel

The index.template.php in each theme must be edited  to make the Favicon.ico display in that theme.

It is simply a copy and paste job.

You dont need to edit any files for the favicon, just place the file in the forum root it must be saved has an .ico file i.e. favicon.ico

I also found that the .ico files dont have to be resized, they can be any size and will still show in your browser :bigteeth1:

:Edit: Its working :thumbup:

OK, I'll give that a try.

TBH... it's not really that big of a deal to do the edits, it's only for one file in each theme and one small block of code.
