Favicon

[Jamie Edwards]

I have an idea. Rename the favicon.ico to newicon.ico, and add to your header template, before </head>:

<link rel="icon" 
      type="image/ico" 
      href="newicon.ico"> 

It might not work, I have not tested.

Which favicon.ico file do I rename? There are about 5-7 of them.

[Jamie Edwards]

The one within your support directory that you want to use as the icon file.

[Siora]

You know what, as soon as I added the code it worked but I never even renamed to newicon.ico. Thats weird isn't it?

[Jamie Edwards]

No, not weird - I am sure it would have triggered the browser to physically look at the file but I suggested renaming just in case it simply compared file names, or something silly

[Siora]

Damn it, now it stopped working...LOL

[Siora]

Okay here is what I did. I added your code, checked it out and it worked. I then restore that template and it seems to still work. Should I keep that code there? I haven't renamed any files.

UPDATE: Nevermind, that code has to be there to work on other user's machines. However I updated the code to:

<link rel="icon"
type="image/ico"
href="favicon.ico">

and it seems to be working. I'll keep you posted. Thanks Jamie.

You need the code - both old style and new style coding plus a proper Favicon.ico file...

And just so you know - it is browser dependant, and very good at only working when it wants too..Favicon;s that is...
