Favicon

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi there

I'm new to Joomlabamboo and not sure if this is the correct process for posting this question....but if you can please advise how I can implement a favicon for my new joomla website (vintage for joomla 2.5) - I would greatly appreciate it. I tried searching but didn't see a post in the forum regarding favicons - hopefully this is not a repetitive post. :)

Thank you!

Hi Libba,

The favicon is located inside your template folder. If you view source this page

bambootheme.com/showcase/mar12/

You can see that it loads the favicon from

<link href="/showcase/mar12/templates/jbvintage/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />

You can change the default favicon with yours by replacing it.

Hi Libba,

Create your new favicon and place it in the Template directory.

For example:
yourjoomlasite.com/templates/jbintrepid/favicon.ico

Hope that helps :)

@VietVu,

Sorry about duplicating you answer! We must have been typing our replies at the same time. :(

Hi

When you overwrite the existing favicon it can be some time before it appears you will need to clear a cache or two

Firefox is particularily stubborn is this regard
