favicon

[graes0]

I just can change the favicon. I’ve changed the chmod so I’m able to upload the favicon with success but old original prestashop one is still shown. I even tried to replace the favicon manualy via ftp but same result the original prestashop favicon remains although I’ve deleted and replaced it.
Please advise
I'm on version 1.0.0.8

Problen whit favicon?

Well here is a solution and worked nice, download this plugins for fotoshop, from:

http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/dl.php3?file=ICOFormat-1.6f9-win.zip


ara it appears to them the option to save the extension point ICO
and also to save them before you ask if it is for normal or icon
for favicon,

IMPORTANT: The icon should be 16x16 pixels, 16 colors (4 bits)!
PS: / / this solution is valid for any who want to create favicon



They can also come here and create online: http://www.favicon.cc/

there are online favicon generators, just google it.

But your favicon may not show if your domein is redirected to the ftp where the site is (i.e. when you have domein and ftp server in different providers). I dont know how to make it work in such situation yet.

Then, try it code html.


Create a 16 pixel wide by 16 pixel high favicon.bmp file in a Program like MS-Paint, Adobe Photoshop, or Jasc's Paint Shop Pro, then use a program (such as the free IrFanView app [for Windows]) to reduce the colors to 16 colors [image -> Decrease Color Depth], and then 'save as...' to a
Windows Icon Format (favicon.ico). Upload the file with FTP to the root section of your web site (the first page area, where you put files like index.html). Open up index.html, and add this line after any meta tags in the HEAD section but before the </head>.

<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://yoursitedotcom.here/favicon.ico">
If you are in a user directory, without a domain, add something like this instead:

<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://yoursitedotcom.here/yourdir/favicon.ico">
Example: If you owned www.stopupgrading.com, you would create the file favicon.ico, and FTP it to your host. Then, you'd use this code:

<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.stopupgrading.com/favicon.ico">
Reload the page... and try adding it to your favorites or bookmarks. Once you've added it to the favorites, close the browser and then open it again, and return to the site? Does it show up now? It should!
