davejones Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Just a question about the little image in the address bar. what is the code?
iamkim Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 You have to create your custom icon (16x16), name it favicon.gif, and then just upload it to the same directory as your web page. An easy way to create your own true .ico file is use an online icon generator. Here's a link to a free one at http://www.favicon.com/ Building the web - One Site at A Time
Mary B. Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 You need to upload your favicon.ico file to your catalog directory (or your root directory, depending where you want it), then add this to the META tags in the header of your page. Point the link to the location of your favicon.ico file. <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico"> They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~ Benjamin Franklin, 1759. տլ
azziman Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 in which file would you include the code in? index.php?
davejones Posted August 11, 2004 Author Posted August 11, 2004 add this to the META tags in the header of your page.

♥yesudo Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 stick it in your images/icons/ directory and it should automatically get picked up. Your online success is Paramount.
davejones Posted August 11, 2004 Author Posted August 11, 2004 this is the snippet of code from the index.php <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?>> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> <title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title> <base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER : HTTP_SERVER) . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"> but where about do i insert the : <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico">
ryanf Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 put is right below <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> you might have to do it on every page which sucks, I dont know, never done this. Ryan If I was crafty, this would be a funny signature.
ryanf Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 I just made an ico file and put it into my root directory. Then when I go to my site and save the address to my favorites it shows up so I know it works. You are not making the icon right. You have to have a special program. I just downloaded iconforge for a trial and it worked. Go to my site and add to favorites to try it out. I dont know if it can be made so it shows in the url. Ryan If I was crafty, this would be a funny signature.
ryanf Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 it looks like after you add it to your favorites, the icon will then start appearing in the url. If I was crafty, this would be a funny signature.
davejones Posted August 12, 2004 Author Posted August 12, 2004 ryanf can you explain how you did it please.
