Title: [Solved]Website releated
Post by: John_Vaughan on August 08, 2009, 01:10:10 am: Hey, As some of you guys know, Some sites can have custom icons which is seen generally next to the url link, and in the tabs, Like the one Argonath has (not precisely that one):

(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/5995/imagezwo.jpg)

How to add a custom one to my site? (The Ancelotti Forum)

Another good example is the one "www.wshadows.com" (WS page) or Argonath Main Site has.

Thanks in advanced

just type: <link rel="(LINK OF THE ICON)" /> between the <head></head> if it is an html page of course
like this:
<head><title>(NAME OF YOUR PAGE)</title><link rel="(LINK OF THE ICON)" />
hope it helps :D

Google Favicons for more info.

For all who needs future help on this, Just go to forum/themes/<Theme Name you're using> and edit "index.template.php"

Search for (usually it's at the END of the file)

Code: [Select]
?>
And add:

Code: [Select]
<html> <head> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="Website Directory where you placed the favicon.ico"> </head> </html>
Thanks MikeUK for giving me the hint :)
