Re: how to add Favicon SMF 2.0.9

mobileduke · June 30, 2015, 11:00:09 AM

Hi, I have tried all configurations to add a favicon to my site but nothing works.
The following is located in my themes as "home.php"
I,m not much of a computer guru and am trying to learn this php stuff so, maybe someone can help me figure out how to implement a favicon to make this work.
I have the img uploaded to the root as a .gif in "favicon.ico" file and 16x16.
Getting it to work is another story--obviously.
Any help would truelly be appreciated!

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<?php

   include ( "core/inc.meta.php" ) ;

?>

</head>

<body class="js-enabled">

   <div id="main" style="width: 100%;">

      <div id="top">

         <?php include("inc.header.php");?>

<?php echo $application->getNotifier($app_init_data['CurrentSkin']); ?>



<div id="pagestatus_new" style=""></div>

      </div>

Don't bother trying to edit files, use the plugin.

i think the issue is that the file is not an actual ico file. if you dont know how to create an ico file, google and you should find converters.

Google dynamicdrive icon generator.

If a "favicon.ico"(true .ico file) is placed in the root directory should work on almost all browsers with no edit needed, but if you want to add a .gif or .png you need to edit the index.template.php of your theme and add something like this just after the header tag:

Code Select

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/path/to/favicon/image.png" />

Also, SMF does not have "home.php", and what you include is from something else not related with SMF.
