Tiny picture in title?

Toadmund · September 07, 2006, 03:21:04 PM

Where do I go (index.templates.php maybe?) to put the little picture in the tab at the top of the page?

Depends on what theme your using at when you say tab i assume your talking about the home , help etc.... tab.

No, like the tabs you get with firefox, for tabbed browsing, where it contains the title of a web page with the small pic on the left side, not sure what you get with IE.
It's the tiny picture about the size of a smilie.

It's called a favicon. Search Google, it really has nothing specific to do with SMF

Will do, I did a google search on 'pic in web title tab' and variations thereof and came up with nothing.
favicon eh!?

Well after trying this trying that I finally figured it out, someone's info on this site said:
Use this line here ~~between the <head>(s) above the <title></title>~~

Code Select

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico"> just above this in index.template.php:

Code Select

<title>', $context['page_title'], '</title>';

So I struggled with that, why the #$^@$ won't this work, then I searched the web, and Wiki said this:

QuoteIn this way, any appropriately sized (16×16 pixels or larger) image can be used, and although many still use the .ico format, other browsers now also support the animated GIF and PNG image formats.

So I did this:

Code Select

<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/myicon.gif">
and voila!!!
www.reversedisorder.com/forum
It works!!!And is animated!
Ps, my icon is 19X19

I think the icon get truncated to 16x16 anyway. At least in FF it looks that way.

Are you using IE?
Does it show up if you put it into favourites?
I use Firefox myself.

Nice.. just one typo

Shouldn't it be 'Welcome' not 'Welome'

Toadmund · November 10, 2006, 12:55:23 PM

Well, I can welome all the folks I want who come to my forum

Heh, I noticed that, well, I have something different now.

It's very easy, actually. Just make the icon you want to use (16x16) and save it in icon format(.ico) to public_html with the name "favicon.ico".

Sorted.
