dioniz Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 For me it shows broken image (one with question mark) for favicon and source shows it's .jpg file. Favicons should have .ico extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dioniz Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I just made a test. I uploaded favicon.ico and it works so it's not a bug i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenpilgrim Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yes it works on a fresh install. I just does not seem to work on my upgraded version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brim Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I have recently upgraded to 1.6 as well. Favicon.ico is showing as a missing link in both Back office and front store.Have temporarily hard coded an icon in my themes header to get something working.Is this an issue for upgraded prestashops?

Bill Dalton Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 You can just upload a Favicon to your main shop directory. Prestashop really has nothing to do with Icons other than providing a way to upload one. The browser automatically checks for the file, if it is there it will use it.

Bill Dalton Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 BTW, a way better source for making favicon is http://www.xiconeditor.com/ This will allow you to imbed several different version of the icon in one file. This is a "must" with all the different media formats available today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlwe Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I have the same issue and try on favicon.ico it works!! on the front office...but it didn't show on back office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 your back office needs separate icon file, you need to upload it also to admin directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ualiens Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) your back office needs separate icon file, you need to upload it also to admin directory could you please explain it in detail, coz i'm new to prestashop. i could not change favicon Edited April 28, 2014 by ualiens (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 just copy favicon.ico to your admin directory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manolitico Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 It didn't function to me anything of the above replies. I deleted manually the favicon.ico from /prestashop/img/, and then uploaded the new favicon.ico from the backoffice in preferences, themes. Putting the new favicon.ico in the prestashop/img folder doesn't function if it's replacing the old one. Hope it helped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 and if you try to place this favicon.ico in root dir of your prestashop installation? what's going on then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmasek Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Hello, you must copy favicon.ico to /themes/<name of theme>/img It works for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerpsu Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Uploading favicon isn't work for me either. I have recently upgraded my shop to 1.6.0.8. Any of the options above didn't work in my case. However I noticed following two lines in HTML source: <link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="/presta_dev/img/favicon.jpg?1404824707" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/presta_dev/img/favicon.jpg?1404824707" /> After uploading favicon.jpg to that folder it works just well. All the modern browsers support .jpg format and this favicon can be used as a shortcut icon in tablets/phones etc. Edited July 8, 2014 by Lerpsu (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhony Ranger Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) The problem is in the database, I did a clean install with 1.6.0.8 and a previus database version (to keep the whole catalog). Something is not well done, I hope the developers can give some solution to this small bug. Sorry my English. Regards.

apimick Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I have the exact same problem, on a fresh 1.6 install with an old database that's been upgraded. I tried everything but the front office always looks for 'favicon.jpg' that doesn't exist (and why a .jpg btw?) I ended up changing the url manually in the template, but I would like to know how we can update this favicon_url, if anyone has an idea. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks With a little time I compare one database from a clean install with new database, I think it will be the only way of finding the real solution. Could you give me details of how to do it manually in the template? Thank you very much.

apimick Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hey, In the links from header.tpl, I just replaced {$favicon_url} with {$img_dir}favicon.ico after putting the icon in my theme's image folder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, I replaced this: <link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="{$base_dir}img/favicon.ico" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="{$base_dir}img/favicon.ico" /> to <link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="{$img_dir}/favicon.ico" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="{$img_dir}/favicon.ico" /> Perfect, thank you very much. Now, with more time, I have to find out which tables are missing concerning the favicon in the database. Very friendly apimick, good day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils Parts Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I have had this problem with the Favicon mysteriously appearing and then vanishing(becoming a question mark) with PS 1.6.0.9 The Header.tpl file in 1.6.0.9 has been updated with a new code for the favicon.ico to be displayed.(something to do with update_time) I over wrote that with: <link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="{$img_dir}/favicon.ico" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="{$img_dir}/favicon.ico" /> Copied the Favicon from the Root IMG folder to the theme IMG folder and all has been working well since. Thanks to all that have contributed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
