has anyone been able to successfully install a favicon icon?
I don’t see where the image database will accept an .ico file.

Hi Bruce,
If your creating a favicon.ico file, place the file into:
Lotus\Domino\Data\domino\html
When you open up the database on the web, your favicon should be shown. You may have to save it as a favourite first.
Cheers

The way I do it is to contain it in a document and refer to it like so…
I suppose I could also add this image to my shared file resources (not as an image resource as this won’t accept .ico files). I’ll give that a try tonight.

yea, it looks like the .ico file can be added to the files section. I’m not sure what the syntax to reference it would be. Let me know if it works for you.

Changed one of my sites last night to see if I could add the icon as a file resource and yes I could. Easy done. Just add the appropriate link in your files eg.
One point to note, favicon isn’t supported wholesale (I’ve read) and I get inconsistent results. At work it doesn’t always show probably down to server configurations. My home PC shows the icon all the time. Here’s a link to my site so let me know if it shows for you…

how is that syntax being generated? As I understand it, you upload the .ico file into the ‘files’ section of your database. Then you place the link within your tags. Where all the numbers and letters coming from in your link?

The “numbers and letters” comprise the unique ID of the document he attached the favicon image to.

thanks Craig, but I’m not sure I follow. I see a ‘data connections’ area, but don’t think that is what you were referring to.
could you elaborate on how to get to the path you mentioned?
Thanks!

if you want to use a specific favicon for a database, then you’ll need to refer to it within the HTML, as one of the other responses suggests.
This is a handy site relating to favicons…
