Adding Favicons - Anyone achieved this?

[Leilani]

Hi
Looking to add a favicon. Can anyone suggest how to code that in the header, and would i have to put anything in the info.php?

Cheers

This isn't a WB question. Simply Google favicon.ico and find all of the info.

You simply create an ico file and place it in your root directory...no changes to the template needed unless you decide to put the file somewhere other than the root. If so, simply alter your template index.php file to incorporate the standard HTML syntax for favicon.ico files.

Actually it is WB question, I know how to add a favicon, being an experienced web designer...my question was regarding adding a favicon to the pages that you create with WB. 

It will now show, in root it will not show for your pages, only your administration.

Eventually I figured out how to manage this. 

So for others I will pass the info on:

1) add your link ref in head in the folder>templates>name_of_template>index.php

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

2) add favicon.ico into the folder>pages

Hello,

assuming the favicon is stored in a folder called /img insite of your template directory, you can add the following code to the index.php of your template:

Code:

<link rel="Shortcut Icon" type="image/x-icon" href="<?php echo TEMPLATE_DIR;?>/img/favicon.ico" />    

A good source for information like this is http://help.websitebaker.org/pages/en/advanced-docu/designer-guide/adding-template-functions.php

It does not explain how to add a favicon, but how to add a image.
