I was wondering how to change the picture up next to the URL and in the favorites when saved.

Put a favicon.ico file in your nuke root directory. You can find several online tools to generate this file based on standard images. I use the one from Dynamic Drive.

Also, you might need to add a reference to it in your theme, but I would try installing it in the root directory first.

Hey, kguske, awesome link! I just created two other favicons for a few sites. No more trying to do it manually. I love it.

Cool! And just in case you are using RavenNuke, just drop the favicon.ico file in your themes/<yourtheme>/images folder and you are good to go!

As I was creating new favicon.ico files for my sites, I decided to mess around a bit with it. I removed my duplicate favicon.ico files within my theme image directories and put only one in the domain root. Then, I used a custom_header.php script within includes/custom_files directory with this line in it:

Code:

echo '<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />';

I am finding now that all browsers will pick up the graphic right away and I no longer have to have duplicates. I had also found that FireFox would not pick it up without the <link> tag.

Just thought I'd share since I think I may have been the one long back to mention needing a file in multiple places.
