Favicon Location

Posted: Fri May 07, 2010 9:09 am

Hi everybody.

I remembered today something very important I wanted to discuss about some lines in header.php on the root.

What I understand from these lines is that if favicon.ico is on the themes/images/ then show it but how is that possible if favicon is not there. it is on the root where mainfile.php is(on the root) Why do we need to call favicon.ico to that location if we know it is on the root.

Code:

if (defined('THEME_FAVICON'))


      echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="' , INCLUDE_PATH , 'themes/', $ThemeSel, '/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />', "\n";


   else if (file_exists(INCLUDE_PATH . 'themes/' . $ThemeSel . '/images/favicon.ico')) {


      echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="' , INCLUDE_PATH , 'themes/', $ThemeSel, '/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />', "\n";


   }

The funny thing is in spite of that it shows the favicon.ico

I am thinking of this

Code:

    if (file_exists('favicon.ico')) {





        echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />'."\n";





    }

Please let me know as soon as possible that is the purpose to have that code there. Shocked

That is why I love so much nuke because i always find something different.

Or

Code:

if (defined('THEME_FAVICON')) 


      echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="' , INCLUDE_PATH ,  'favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />', "\n"; 


   else if (file_exists(INCLUDE_PATH . 'favicon.ico')) { 


      echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="' , INCLUDE_PATH , 'favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />', "\n"; 


   }

2.Link theme’s defined favicon; if not defined, check if it exists and link to accommodate old themes

Ok, thanks. I understand now it is for old themes but almost nobody use old themes anymore and favicon.ico will be always on the root
