Favicon Documentation

[oxman]

The last sentence in this section of the FAQ makes no sense to me. Add

// Favicon define('FAVICON_CODE',''. '');

after what?

When I placed it after

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo FAVICON; ?>" type="image/x-icon" />

it did not reveal the favicon.

#How do I get my favicon to show in Internet Explorer?

a. Create and place a favicon.ico file in the root directory of your web server

b. Use meta tags to make reference to the file.

i. In includes/languages/english.php, add the following code after the Custom Keywords section

// Favicon define('FAVICON_CODE',''. '');

ii. In includes/ templates/ YOUR_TEMPLATE/ common/ html_header.php, add after ” />

Try these instructions here for 1.3.5/1.3.6:

Be sure to make a copy of your includes/english/meta_tags.php to alter,
then upload it to your includes/english/custom_your_template folder.

Re-bookmark your page, and the favicon should appear.

Thank you tshooters for your reply. Interesting matter this favicon is.

I found a comment here at the forums suggesting that I simply add an html tag for the favicon in common/html_header.php
It worked just fine.

Just tried a fav icon and I had to modify tpl_header, html_header AND Metatags before it would show up in the address bar and bookmarks in FF2 (works in IE7 and opera as well :) )

Perhaps you would share what those changes were? I have not had any trouble with Favicons showing in FF2.

Sorry should have said in my last post, thanks for the reminder!

in metatags, I removed the '//' in front of the define favicon line

in tpl_header & html_header I added the standard '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">'

BTW - The FAQ has been updated, as it was out-of-date and applied to Zen Cart v1.2.x. It now talks about how to do it in v1.3.x

Sorry but could someone show me where exactly i need to add/change the above code in the relevant php.files

Ive got the favicon working firefox but not IE

Thanks in advance!

It probably works fine in IE if you bookmark the page.
This will cause the favicon image to be cached by IE and therefore available for display.

Go to your home page and press CTRL+D to bookmark it.

Thanks for your reply DrByte but ive tried this and its still not coming up. ive also checked www.giftwrapuk.co.uk/favicon.ico in IE and the image isnt available. I know its not a massive thing but would like to know why its doesnt work.

Thanks again.
