Favicon in 1.3.5

[peliopoulos]

Hi Everyone,

I was trying to set up a favicon for my new 1.3.5 zen cart store. I tried the steps outlined in the FAQ and in various threads in the forums. I don't know if this was suggested before, but here is what I did.

1. Upload favicon.ico to your root directory. (Look at the Wikipedia entry for more information on how to create and format favicons.)

e.g. http://www.myzenstore.com/favicon.ico

2. Edit your /includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php file from:

//define('FAVICON','favicon.ico');

to

define('FAVICON','favicon.ico');

It's now that simple and it works in the address bar in IE6. Someone should update the FAQ.

Take care,
Peter

Technically browsers should pick it up automatically if you upload a favicon.ico file to your site.
The define is intended to allow you to use a different name to override default behaviour.
However, since you like the results, stick with them !

I know that browsers are supposed to pick it up. However, this way, IE6 will show it in the address bar too, not just the bookmarks.

for some reson, i cant get my favicon to show in IE.

I have tried it on multi systems, and nothing shows. FF seems to do just fine.

I have the image loaded,and i also commented the define in meta_tags file..

anything else i should do?

Did you try re-bookmarking your site?

Hi wickedklown,

I loaded your site in IE6 and the favicon didn't show. I then added it to my favorites and the favicon did show in the list. When I closed IE and reopened it, the favicon showed in the address bar. I think that's the problem with my plan, IE6 will only show the favicon in the address bar if the site is already bookmarked.
