Hello friends.
My question is: How can we create a favicon for firefox and explorer?
I ´m very interested in this, and i ´m sure that many people want to know, too.
Thanks again.

just add favicon.ico to your /imagevue folder..
*Edit* Oops, how to make them ? - You'll need photoshop or similar and make a small small image. save as favicon.ico
I found this on google -
http://www.favicon.cc/

It should be as easy as that, i did it last night without a problem... It's important that you save as .ico i think.. Did you use the generator i linked ?

I use microangelo 5.5 since tree years ago, and I have some experience (I ´m not an expert,but... ) making icons and icons libs .
I used 16x16 - 16 colors - and i used 16x16 -256 colors - for the test, but didn ´t work.
Normally i use the <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" > tag for html site. But this time the index of the gallery is PHP and I don ´t know how to put the tag.
For glennybig:
Another link to get icons that I use normally is:
http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/ YOU CAN GET AN ICON FROM A PIC !!! Maybe it is interesant for you.
Thank you for the help, but is not working yet.

You need to edit imagevue/templates/index_gallery.phtml -
You should be adding two lines into the <head> something like this:
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Sorry Karl, I tried but didn ´t work.
I put the tags where you said and I put the favicon.ico file in the main directory, in imagevue/ directory, and in the imagevue/templates/ directory.
The cache was cleaned several times and don ´t work.
What can I do or what is happens?
I thing I need some more help, please.
Thank you
