How do I show a favicon in browser tab of help output?

Post by cayennep »

This has always just appeared by default, but currently is a generic icon.

Don't see where in the skin to set this, nor know why it's always just worked in other tools as well as Flare

tips appreciated, thx!

This is set in the master page. Add something like this:

Code: Select all

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="../Images/favicon.png" type="image/png" />
in the <head> section of the master page(s), add the image to the specified folder, and publish. It should work...

Hi all,
unfortunately the favicon doesn't work in my html5 output as well:

Have you figured out why it doesn't work?

I´ve tested a lot of combinations like with an png image instead of an ico image file or other relative pathes and image folders.

<head>
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="../../4_Images/0_Images_General/favicon.ico" />
</head>

I´m right? The relative path starts at the master page folder location and goes to the image folder location?

Play with the dots. For me, my MasterPage URLs are:

"../Scripts/filename.js"

"../Images/Top.png"

EDIT: I tried it myself using the following and it did NOT show up (however, read below): <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="../Images/favicon.png" />

So then I wondered if it was a local thing (viewing my local file:// build) and scrounging around on the interwebs it appears that IS the case. Chrome and Safari won't show the favicon locally, only after the page is up on a website. I don't have an easy way to test that, but that seems the likely culprit since the code that Niels provided should work.
