Xpajun Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 As I understand it, if you put a 16px x 16px image called favicon.ico in your root directory it will show in the address bar, on tabs and in favorites/bookmarked If you can't produce a favicon.ico image then you can do the following: Put this code in the header of every page you want to show the icon: <link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://MY_SITE.com/name.gif"> and the name.gif in the root directory image should be 16 x 16 maximum My store is currently running Phoenix 1.0.3.0 I'm currently working on 1.0.7.2 and hope to get it live before 1.0.8.0 arrives (maybe 🙄 ) I used to have a list of add-ons here but I've found that with the ones that supporters of Phoenix get any other add-ons are not really neccessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

multimixer Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 well, the image need to be called favicon.ico and the link to is <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"> in the <head> section of the html As to where to put it, I'm not sure. since I use sts, I put it into my default template + other "main templates". For regular osCommerce, I would try to put it into the header.php EDIT: great that it works in the above way too, I didn't know My community profile | Template system for osCommerce - New: Responsive | Feedback channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 To clarify this, a gif image will work but is not fully supported. The browsers look for favicon.ico automatically but that can be changed. The code for the favicon just needs to be in the index.php file and the favicon.ico image is usually placed in the root directory but can be placed elsewhere. There are many sites around that will allow you to upload some image you have and have it converted to the correct image, at no charge. All sites should add a favicon since it cuts down on server errors and bandwidth usage.

ErikMM Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 for 2.3.1: at the bottom of catalog/includes/header.php (after ?>) add this <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://yoursitename.com/catalog/favicon.ico"> make sure the favicon.ico is located in catalog (or wherever you saved it to, which could also be in the root, yoursite.com, outside of catalog) a-how-to-road-map 2.3.x road-map-for-the-newbies design basics how to make a horrible osC site ssl-how to updated-security-thread Web Developer, Firebug, and Notepad++ are powerful free tools for web design.

mondobongo3 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 If you drop your favicon.ico in your website root, it will be used by default. But be sure that you name it favicon.ico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdcelec Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 If you want it to validate as xhtml use <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="images/favicon.ico" /> A tool for producing them can be found here http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golith Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 tring to do the same thing in V2.3.1 application_top.php ADD <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.cictradinggroup.com.au/favicon.ico"> AFTER <base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER : HTTP_SERVER) . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>" /> but the icon is not displaying any ideas there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpajun Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 If you are using favicon.ico which is 16 x 16 then there is no need to put anything in any of your files, it should be in your root directory though My store is currently running Phoenix 1.0.3.0 I'm currently working on 1.0.7.2 and hope to get it live before 1.0.8.0 arrives (maybe 🙄 ) I used to have a list of add-ons here but I've found that with the ones that supporters of Phoenix get any other add-ons are not really neccessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_1984 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 If you are using favicon.ico which is 16 x 16 then there is no need to put anything in any of your files, it should be in your root directory though i think that's if the browser supports that feature so its a good idea to have the code in case some browser doesnt work like this.

You could be right there probably are some basic browsers that don't support it along with css as well :-" :-" My store is currently running Phoenix 1.0.3.0 I'm currently working on 1.0.7.2 and hope to get it live before 1.0.8.0 arrives (maybe 🙄 ) I used to have a list of add-ons here but I've found that with the ones that supporters of Phoenix get any other add-ons are not really neccessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreamMan Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 @scot The favicon.ico may take up to 3 days to show. Also follow the way Erik M explane for 2.3.1: at the bottom of catalog/includes/header.php (after ?>) <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://yoursitename.com/catalog/favicon.ico"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
