Favicon 1.11.14

[Subject13]

How do I add a favicon to a SMF Forum with the version 1.11.14?

Hello there.

You should just make favicon.ico file 16X16 pixels in size and upload it to your site root.
Thats it
If you want you can also add this line into template to help browsers locate that file:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

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

Take a look at this link for more info:

Where exactly would I add thisL

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

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

All you really have to do is put the favicon.ico at the root and most browsers will find and render it.

I placed the favicon.ico here "/forums"

Did I do it right?

Is it on the site linked in your profile and signature?

The favicon, no?

On your main site (WordPress one), you have this line:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<link rel="icon" href="http://xenomorph-hive.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Favicon.png" type="image/x-icon">
On your forum site, you have this line (or lines):

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" /><link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />You could actually consider removing all of that and putting the attached file at the root of your site.

I get that, but did I put it in the right spot? "/forums"

Yes, this is correct, but your index.template.php has this (two declarations):

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" /><link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
Remove the second one so that this is left:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

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

You find that file under the default theme right? If so, I search the file for that code and its not there?

It will be in forums/Themes/XH_2011/

What would I change if I had this:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

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

[mashby]

Change that to this:

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico" />';Or really, you could remove both lines.

Got it!
