krt463 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hello, nearly a brand new install of WHMCS here. We're just tweaking a few things here and there. Can anyone tell me where to place the favorite icon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentq Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 you can use HTML meta tag to specify it's URL: <head> ... <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/whmcs/favicon.ico" /> </head> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krt463 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Thank you. Since there was limited information within the forums, I thought I would also post the reply from WHMCS Support: "According to the W3C, the preferred way of adding a favicon to your site is to declare it in the HEAD section of your HTML ( http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon ). To do this, you'll want to edit the header.tpl file of the template you're using. We have a guide to editing our templates at http://docs.whmcs.com/Client_Area_Template_Files . The template itself is written in Smarty, which has fantastic documentation available at http://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/ ." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zomex Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 A good way for WHMCS templates is by adding your favicon.ico file to: /templates/your_template/images/ and then declare it with: <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="templates/{$template}/images/favicon.ico" /> You could also add the file your root which is good practice as some tools/browsers will look for it there even if it's not declared. So you would upload it to public_html and use: <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico" /> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
