Feature request: Favicon option

Post by hpl123 »

Hi support,
This is a feature request to have the option of configuring the favicon of an application.
Thanks

Try adding the favicon html code to the <head> tag in C:\AwareIM\Tomcat\webapps\AwareIMstartup.html

Thanks but don´t think it works. Several users have tried:

Then just replace the existing favicon.ico in

C:\AwareIM\Tomcat\webapps\ROOT

with your favicon.ico.

Don't have to change any code

The favicon is not BSV specific.

make sure you clear all your browser cache & restart AwareIM server

Rennur,
Have you successfully made this change? I have tried your latest tip but couldn´t even find a favicon.ico file in the Aware IM directory (have searched through the entire directory and there are no .ico files there)??

Try this:
  • 1. Copy you favicon.ico to C:\AwareIM\Tomcat\webapps\AwareIM
  • 3. In C:\AwareIM\Tomcat\webapps\AwareIM\Startup.html insert into the <HTML> tag, just above the </head> tag

    Code: Select all

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico?v=2" />


Refresh browser

Cheers
