favicon August 13, 2014, 02:08:10 pm I tried and tried but didn't find the spot to put the favicon.ico in for ElkArte. Help is very appreciated!
Re: favicon Reply #1 – August 13, 2014, 02:24:09 pm Just send it to forum folder (where you have SSI.php). There is already default favicon (favicon.ico).
Re: favicon Reply #2 – August 13, 2014, 02:34:43 pm Okay, but there seem to be no changes. I cleaned the cache of ElkArte and my browser cache. But I can't see my favicon. Which favicon do you see at http://support.elkarte-hilfe.de ? Should be the one I attached here.
Re: favicon Reply #4 – August 13, 2014, 03:57:06 pm The browser probably looks for the:Code: [Select]<link rel="shortcut icon" sizes="196x196" href="http://support.elkarte-hilfe.de/themes/Blue/images/mobile.png" />This is a "mobile-oriented" favicon, change that to an equivalent sized image and it should pick the one you want.

Re: favicon Reply #8 – September 27, 2014, 12:49:19 pm I've been trying to get my favicon to work instead of the default ElkArte favicon. I have completely removed the ElkArte favicon.ico from my sites root folder and I have placed my own favicon.ico in the forum root folder. I have deleted the forum cache, I have deleted the cache on Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. I have rebooted my computer. No matter what I do all 3 browsers still show the ElkArt favicon.ico file which is nowhere within my sites folder. Any ideas on how to make this change. If I directly link to my custom favicon.ico file it shows my custom favicon but going anywhere using my forum links the ElkArte default favicon.ico file is being used.This is the image link to my custom favicon.ico file:
Re: favicon Reply #9 – September 27, 2014, 02:36:23 pm See my reply #4. Same thing.The favicon is defined in the template, line 174 of index.template.php:Code: [Select] echo ' <link rel="shortcut icon" sizes="196x196" href="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/mobile.png" />either change that or remove the line.

Sorry to bring up an old post but running into this as well, my question is what size should it be set too?Never mind found it 16 x 16.
Re: favicon Reply #12 – March 17, 2015, 04:05:06 am In the line I posted, there is an attribute: sizes="196x196"You can either use that size (that is in pixels) or change it to whatever you want.Small suggestion, I think mobile devices like to have images of 196px X 196px. But 16 will do for "normal" (desktop) browsers.
Re: favicon Reply #13 – March 21, 2015, 09:58:03 pm Still trying to get this to work, right now I have Code: [Select]<link rel="shortcut icon" sizes="196x196" href="' . $settings['images_url'] . 'http://alilnook.com/favicon.ico" />am I doing something wrong.
