Add Favicon (favories/bookmark icon)

[Jade Elizabeth]

I second that

[qd-race]

you can try to validate http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/validator/

you can try to insert these two lines

Code Select Expand


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

I copied the favicon.icon file to Theme->default/babylon/classic ->Images
Add above 2 lines code in Theme->default/babylon/classic ->index.template.php

Result: no icon been showed. You can refer here: http://www.replica2u.com/news/index.php

I did add these codes. Same result.

I've installed this some time ago, just decided to use it and the FavIcon doesn't show?

SMF 1.1.4 and TP 0.9.8 and Default theme

[qd-race]

I also don't know why. I have tried several ways but still no good result.

Anyway, how SMF Admin mod for this forum?

[Jade Elizabeth]

it works brilliant for me

put the favicon in its place, then go to the current theme and link it up

[sparky33]

I did, placed the FavIcon on my server, then added the link to the mod, but nothing appears.

My logo appears fine using the same process.

[qd-race]

I upload several folders and put the pink. Still nothing.

[MinasC]

doesn't work for me either ! smf 1.1.3

[qd-race]

I'm using for 4 websites: 1.1.2, 1.1.3 and 1.1.4, all cannot.

If ya are using Internet Explorer in a lot of cases it won't work whatever you do

In firefox it works like a charm (example at my own site on all pages)

[qd-race]

Then how this SMF (the current we are browsing) is working in IE. I'm using IE7. I can see SMF icon working!

[Herman's Mixen]

well check with an validator tool like this http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/validator/
and you see i have done it manually with out use of this mods

[sparky33]

The point of this isn't to do it manually though, so you aren't answering the question, and I am using IE7 and I see FavIcons all the time.

http://www.coupe-club.org.uk was checked, and found to have a valid favicon and a link tag.

Notes:
This page has a valid favicon and a favicon link tag. However, it is using the more recent version of the link tag (<link rel="icon" ...>). Older versions of browsers, including Internet Explorer 5 and 6, may not be able to understand it. For best results, consider adding the older version of the link tag as well (<link rel="shortcut icon" ...>).

It appears that none of the favicons are 16*16 pixels in size. In most cases, favicons are displayed at 16*16 pixels. Although browsers can resize favicons as necessary, the resized version may not look as good as the original favicon. For best results, include a 16*16 version as well in favicon.ico if possible. The favicon generated by FavIcon from Pics already includes both 16*16 and 32*32 versions.
Details:
Found the web page at:
http://www.coupe-club.org.uk (32.72 KB)

Found <link rel="icon" ...> tag that specify a favicon:
<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="http://coupe-club.org.uk/images/wheel.gif"/>

Found favicon at:
http://coupe-club.org.uk/images/wheel.gif (0.35 KB) 

   (23*26 pixels, 29 colors used, GIF image file format)

The FavIcon actually shows in the result


It says I'm not using a 16x16 FavIcon, which I'm not, but I have tried both.

[qd-race]

I'm using same FavIcon in my CubeCart ecommerce software. The icon appear with no problem.

I also did create new FavIcon from http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/gallery/ and upload to the server. Then validated it, "seem was checked but could not find a valid favicon". The system can't validate icon produce by them.

Brenda, did you ever get back into your site?  I have the same problem with mine and the exact same errors!   

[Jade Elizabeth]

why not pm them, they may not return to this topic

[SheWolff]

I can do that.  Maybe someone might shed some insight into this as well just in case she doesn't reply.  Been like that since 10 this morning, and I also notice this copyright must be in the template thing on the bottom of the page.  I don't recall ever even seeing that in the index template when i tried modifying it for the favicon.
