Topic: favicon.ico?

How about adding an official favicon to PubBB?

Comments/Ideas etc...

Looks boring in the Phoenix bookmarkpanel...

Re: favicon.ico?

Sure. I'm not a big fan of favicons myself, but it's really easy to add, so why not :)

It would be nice if someone would help out in designing the icon. The logo can be found in this topic: http://punbb.org/viewtopic.php?id=2196

Does the path for the favicon.ico goes into index.php or somewhere else?
Not really an HTML expert, sorry wink

Re: favicon.ico?

I just throw my favicon.ico in the root and it seems to work.

You could also do this in your index.html or index.php:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="./favicon.ico" />

Re: favicon.ico?

It doesn't work when I throw the file in my root folder.

This is what I did (just found this on google)

Upload the ICO file to, say, images/favicon.ico. Then add the following lines in the header.php file, somewhere between the "<?php" and "?>" tags:

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

It's working great smile

Thanks again

Re: favicon.ico?

Dude,

I like the favicon smile

Edit: For those that use Firefox and want to see the favicon show up in the bookmarks and it had an icon before, like I did, you have to remove the bookmark and add it back again. Favicons are stored in your bookmark file so they don't get updated for some reason when a new one is used.

whoa that was quick

Re: favicon.ico?

Actually, it's the icon RNilsson posted that ConnorHd then edited to add transparency. I then stole it from him smile
