Website Icon in address bar

How to change the website icon that is in address bar?

that's called a favicon. You have to have an image that you want to use to represent your site. Then take that image to a favicon generator, and run it through, then download the file and follow the instructions.

This is the one I use - http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/
Just follow the instructions closely.

Thanx Peggy.
I vll try. :wink:

Installation 1 : Installing "favicon.ico"

Step 1 : Make ur own favicon.ico, you need to have a software to convert your .jpg, .jpeg or .gif image to .ico. If u dont have, use this link http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/.

Step 2 : After making your own "favicon.ico" upload it to the root directory of your forum. It must show your own favicon icon in your site's title.

Step 3 : If it doesnot appear, Paste this line into your header OR headinclude-template

Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

And your are done with it...



Installation 2 : Installing "favicon.gif"

Step 1 : Make ur own favicon.gif using this link http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/.

Step 2 : After making your own "favicon.gif" upload it on your server ( Any path u want ).

Step 3 : Edit templete header OR headinclude-template :

Paste on top :

Code:
<link rel="icon" href="http://your-site's-path/favicon.gif" type="image/gif" >




Can't get where is that header? I pasted my favcon in /.

Mammu, go into the Admin CP, select Styles & Templates, then select Style Manager, click the Expand Templates button (<<>>) and select the header template to edit.

Make sure you have the favicon file in the forum root and you should be good to go.

Thanx. Now working at last with lots of tries.
