Integrating favicon in Sugar

**malcolmh** · 2006-07-28, 01:46 PM

Hi,

Have a customer request, where he wants to add the favicon.ico into Sugar, so he sees his logo in the IE browser.

Any hints, where to do this?

Its in the /themes directory each has a header.html, look for this line:

Code:

<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="include/images/sugar_icon.ico">

You will have to get a program that creates ico files. If you find a good one let me know. The one I use sucks.

Have you tried this one?

And if you want to create one from scratch, you could try:

Thanks guys, I used a free utility on the web:

The problem was where to attach it. Resolved via Ken's help.

I still have teh problem that the favicon is showing in Firefox but not in IE.

Any ideas?

Try to rename the file to favicon.ico and update the header.html file, clean the browser cache, restart it and see if it works. If not, try adding the link to the favorites and retest.
