Indexhibit Support

Hello indexhibit,

I'd like to add a favicon.ico to my site. Would any of you know how to do that? I am a bit clueless with php...

thanks,

jeromejérôme

It's not a php thing...or an Indexhibit thing. ;)

Do a search on Google and you'll find free tools to help you get it done. Very simple, once you have the tool, to convert an image to whatever a favicon needs to be.

Thank you for your help Vaska! I thought I had to change something in the php code, but I don't. thank you for this great site!!! It's a great system.

I discovered that you have to provide the full path to the favicon.ico file in order for it to show up on all interior pages and not just the main page.

I was stumped by this issue for a while until I found out that the header graphics work this way and it made sense this would too.

Hello could somebody explain to me in simple terms how to upload a favicon
onto my indexhibit site, I have made the Icon and have the code but do not Know
where it needs to go.

Just put it in the root of your site. You can add the code to your Indexhibit template in the head area...like after 'title'.

Hi Vaska, been through a lot of these posts but still no luck with my favicon - can you see what im doing wrong if possible? im a bit stupid when dealing with technical stuff unless its extremely straight forward!.

thanks,

...if you search for favicon in the search box there's a few posts that have step by step instructions...

thanks arsondpi, have read all of these posts now twice! one of my problems was the fact i was using eatock template - i have now switched to sample and uploaded the favicon.ico into that folder. the problem i now have is i cannot edit the index.php file because i dont have dreamweaver or a webuilder softeware. is there another way of doing this.

i think i'm close now if i can just edit the index.php file i think we will have lift off.

sorry to be a pain and thank you.
Kevin

just a text/code editor will do - go through the two red links in the Useful threads post...
Lots of info about editing and customising over there...

Hey guys, I am also trying to get my flavicon happenning, this is what I'm understanding so far:

1.Create your flavicon and save it as flavicon.ico

2.Upload your file through file manager

3.Get the source code you need for a browser to source the flavicon.

Do I now open index.php and paste the source code appropriately? where would i do that? if not, how would i do it correctly?

:: thank you ahead of time for your direction ::

Hi there,
I've been through all the favicon threads and tried everything but it still doesn't work. What I did:

uploaded flavicon.ico directly into this folder:
ndxz-studio->site->sample

changed the index.php (from the sample folder) and added:
link rel='shortcut icon' href='http://www.verenapostweiler.de/ndxz-studio/site/sample/favicon.ico' type='image/x-icon' />

It still doesnt show up. What's wrong?? Does anyone have a clue? I'm getting quite desperate..........

Thanks in advance.
V.

you're running indexhibit in a folder called indexhibitv070e, thus you have to include it in your favicons address: http://www.verenapostweiler.de/indexhibitv070e/ndxz-studio/site/sample/favicon.ico

yeah, it's working!(I checked the path at least 5 times, sh...)
THANKS!

WOW. I've followed with verena and arsondpi's method then it works!!

thanks guys :)
