Favicon Help!!!

[davewest]

in /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php

<?php if (defined('FAVICON')) { ?>
<link rel="icon" href="<?php echo FAVICON2; ?>" type="image/gif" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo FAVICON2; ?>" type="image/gif" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo FAVICON; ?>" type="image/x-icon" />
<?php } //endif FAVICON ?>

in includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php

// There is usually NO need to enable this unless you wish to specify a path and/or a different filename
define('FAVICON2','includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/icons/icon.gif');
define('FAVICON', 'includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/icons/icon.ico');

If just use the old ico file and placed it in the root, then you would not need any of this. If you place your ico in another folder or use a gif, then the above should work... the gif is for animated icons. gif is easier to create then ani's.

I've had some problems in I.E.7 with favicon.
I was not seeing it, while other friends I asked to control was seiing.
I solved the problem on my pc erasing the "web site visited".

If anyone else is looking to find a working solution to getting the animated favicon to work in ZenCart. I found this thread which has a working solution.

Scroll halfway down the thread and look for Sawhorse's post.
