Guest Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 I would like to use a favicon.ico for the browser bar on all pages.Where do i place the file and where do I place the link? Thanks in advance for your help Mike
Guest Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Mike, You place favicon.ico in your root [catalog] directory and then put the link code in the head of the page you wish the icon to appear on. Chris

Guest Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks Chris for the fast response do u know if there is a "global page" where i can put the link so the favicon will appear on all pages. Please bear with me my first experience with PHP.
Guest Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Mike, You could try putting it in the includes>header.php because it appears on MOST all pages. Chris
♥mdtaylorlrim Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 I've never had to use any code for that. The browsers always seem to pick that up on its own. Community Bootstrap Edition, Edge Avoid the most asked question. See How to Secure My Site and How do I...?
Guest Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Mark, I always use this code to call the favicon to the browser: <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico"> I have never had a browser auto detect a favicon before Chris

And Tabs? And bookmarks, etc? Community Bootstrap Edition, Edge Avoid the most asked question. See How to Secure My Site and How do I...?
MrPhil Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 You don't even need a link on your page, so long as the favicon is "ICON" format, named "favicon.ico", and it's placed in your site root /. All browsers should find it. If any of those conditions are not met, you will need a <link> on each web page. See my sig > FAQs > "Missing Favicon".
Guest Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Wow, learn something new everyday. Thanks Mark and Phil. I always thought you needed the link in the code. Chris
♥14steve14 Posted November 11, 2010 Posted November 11, 2010 I have the following in my includes/header.php file <LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="images/favicon.ico"> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> Saves putting it on every page if you need to.
