It works like changing a favicon for any site--just replace your designated *.ico with the image that you want. Or you can reset the favicon's name to a different image that you can designate in the header of your html file: <link id="page_favicon" href="/favicon.ico" rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" />

yess. just replacing the .ico file present in the.. site files would solve the problem.. but anyways.. if you want to create your own ico file then it would be great instead of using any other ico file..

you must make your own favicon.ico file then upload it in your root folder. there are also automated programs online that does this for you, all you have to do then is to upload the picture and your good to go with your favicon, i think html kit is the program just google it out

Hey,

Yea I know this, but how about if a site doesn't have any favicon and I want to make one? What would I do? I saw in some places that it requires a line or 2 of html code that you put in the header part of your site. Is this correct? Would somebody be able to explain this for me?

Thank you

Try adding this code (marked bold):

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Our Title</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
</head>

And just upload your favicon to the index directory of the site.

Well, uploading the favicon in the root does away most of the times or you might read this article of mine. http://divyun.com/how-to-change-favicon-in-various-cms/

Well this is a little problem faced by lot of webmasters who are new to cms/ open source softwares.

Here are the steps for different cms:

Joomla-

Joomla directory> Templates folder> [Current Theme]> favicon.ico

Drupal-

Drupal directory> themes> [Current Theme]> favicon.ico

Wordpress-

Drop the favicon in root.

Short one!

Hey,

Yea I tried out the code that you provided for me Royer and for me it worked

Thanks, you were a real help. Now when people come to my site, they wont say "oh...another joomla site, how cheap"

Thank you once again!

Hey Elite you sure it worked, as the code suggested above would work wonders for a static site but with joomla you creat a dynamic site so adding this to every page is not possible. :S btw, adding the favicon.ico in root works most of the time.
