Does V2 support favicons like V1?

Posted: **29 Aug 2008, 00:29**

Well can I? Can I let Version 2 show the little Browser-icon, favicon?

I can't remember this was available in V1, but its easy to integrate anyway. Its part of the HTML document, so you need to edit the file templates/index_gallery.phtml. I think you need to add something like the following text inside the <head> tag:

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

You should drop the favicon into the ROOT of your website ... Eg. www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico

yep, worked for me too. index.gallery.phtml can be found in /imagevue/templates/

But I would like to point out some mistakes in your html coding, I think wikipedia article explains it best

I put a PNG on a server and it works great
