Where to place code for Favicon

madron · December 10, 2006, 04:18:13 PM

I am not sure where to place the code for a favicon on my portal. I have it working on the web site.

I tried index template.php, in the theme I am using, didn't work. I placed the code after <head> but before </head>, perhaps this is incorrect?

code:

Code Select

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >

But do I put it in SMF index, TP, or Theme, or all of these?

Still new to coding...any help would be appreciated.

I didnt even use that code, I just put the favicon.ico in the root, and it shows up on all my sites

Edited to add: I just hit F5 and it showed... simple stuff drives me nuts! lol

I'd love to do this and couldn't get it to work. I tried in the index.template.php right before </head> and put the favicon in the root and in the root of /forum and neither work.

I used this code - <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >

and also the code with the URL directly to the ico and still no go. Any suggestions?

Remove that code if you haven't already. Just upload the favicon to your root directory, refresh your page F5 and it should work on all your pages, mine did.

RoarinRow - upload your favicon to our Themes directory, then in your theme index.template.php find this line

Code Select


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"', $context['right_to_left'] ? ' dir="rtl"' : '', '><head>

after add this code

Code Select


	<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/Themes/default/imagename.ico" />

I tried that and still no go. I used this code:

Code Select

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.avalanchestyle.com/forum/Themes/default/favicon.ico" />

Edit - I take that back. I does work, but only with FF and Opera right now. Not sure why IE7 is not taking right now?

Edit Edit - works on IE now
