Put Logo/Icon on the URL
 
Hi
I am using xcart 4.4x can any one tell me how to put a logo/ icon on the address bar (url)?

It is called a favicon. You can create one here http://www.favicon.co.uk/index.php or there are many other sites and then just upload your favicon.ico file to your root directory on your sever or host

See this for trouble shooting http://www.favicon.co.uk/help.php

Also, have you cleared your browser cache?

You should have ideally started a new post so that other members of the forum can find it when they have the same question.

Regarding your question, I believe this would be different depending on which xcart version you are using but then again I might me incorrect.

Mine is set in /skin1.css

Changing the font color in Products Menu
 
I am using x-cart version 4.4x

Re: Put Logo/Icon on the URL
 
I am aware of what your xcart version is. Keep in mind I don't have the same version as you and therfore the information I provide can only be based on the version I am using.

My guess is that you will be able to edit it when you go to the directory where your xcart is installed in and find your .css file in that directory, like I said mine is /skin1.css

Hope this helps :)

I have been trying to change the favicon to my logo. Here is my coding:
<head>
<link rel="icon" href="http://kickstartendurance.com/xcart/images/favicon.png" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://kickstartendurance.com/xcart/images/favicon.png" type="image/x-icon" />
</head>

I don't know what I'm doing wrong :(

Browsers usually cache this so you may need to clear your browser's cache, hhistory, etc. to see the change.

Re: Put Logo/Icon on the URL
 
I have cleared the cache multiple times

IE is usually the browser with problems but in general they all work in a simialr way - http://jeffcode.blogspot.com/2007/12/why-doesnt-favicon-for-my-site-appear.html

No. You don't have to add any code to any template.
In file, /common_files/customer/service_head.tpl you will see:

Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="{$current_location}/favicon.ico" />

SIMPLY name your icon, "favicon.ico" and put it in the store root.
CLEAR your browser cache.
Done.

Ok, I will sound like a totally newbie, which I am but how do I put the icon in the store root?

Putting Logo/Icon on the URL
 
Could you please tell me in the cpanel, under edit templates, where is favicon stored?

carpeperdiem 02-07-2013 01:30 AM

Re: Put Logo/Icon on the URL
 
DON'T use cPanel file manager for daily FTP tasks
use an FTP client
put your favicon.ico in the www root (wherever index.php is)
