From Tagberry
Good luck.
I'm trying to add a favicon to Tagberry, like what I just done here: [1] - but I can't quite manage it. I've got the icon, but don't know what to do with the code. Any thoughts / hints / tips??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
I used the old method of whanging the file in /favicon.ico but I guess the two link lines into the wiki template header would be best.
Actually, I lied. I did that but then I added
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.mindat.org/favicon.ico">
to my template. somwhere in the <head> ... </head> section will do. Obviously don't link to MY favicon, that would be silly.
ps. I like your pink deathstar.
thank you.
but where might <head> etc. be?
If you are using the standard 'MonoBook' style, which I think you are,
there is a section which is in, I think skins/MonoBook.php, called execute() where there is the <head> section which you can add those lines in IMMEDIATELY after the <head> and it should work.
if you copied MonoBook.php to edit it, and called it a different name, you'll need to edit that file.
Right - thanks for that - most helpful. Some success, I'd say. Although when I have a moment I'll try and make the background of the favicon see-through, if that's possible, so it doesn't sit white-on-grey in the browser tab. Something of a step forward: we nearly have a favicon sorted! - Admin
Great! Glad you got it sorted. --Bonjo Nelson 19:48, 11 August 2006 (BST)
