[Solved] - Changing The Default Favicon


Recommended Posts

Hello All...

 

I'm brand new with PrestaShop (yesterday), and brand new to the forums here (today). I'd like to tell the whole PrestaShop team that this shop is outstanding, and thank you for making this available!

 

I have a couple of questions for the experts:

 


  • [li]I'm trying to change the default favicon.ico to one of my own, but am receiving an error (image format not recognized, allowed formats are: .ico). I am positive that my favicon is a valid .ico image. Any ideas on why I am receiving the error?[/li]
    [li]Other than directly editing the mentions.tpl and conditions.tpl, is there any way to change (and translate), the displayed content?[/li]

 

Thanks once again for providing PrestaShop. I look forward to using it and to it's continuing development. This is one of those good scripts that deserve monetary support, and I certainly plan on contributing a few dollars.

Hi sciencefare,

 

Welcome to the PrestaShop Forum!

 

Thanks for your kind words.  There is still a lot of work to be done, but we are finally starting to see PrestaShop become what we had originally imagined back when the company formed last April...

 

I'm trying to change the default favicon.ico to one of my own, but am receiving an error (image format not recognized, allowed formats are: .ico). I am positive that my favicon is a valid .ico image. Any ideas on why I am receiving the error?

 

I just checked my test build and lo and behold, I am also getting the same bug (v0.9.7.2). I've submitted a bug report to the dev team.

 

Other than directly editing the mentions.tpl and conditions.tpl, is there any way to change (and translate), the displayed content?

 

In a word, no.  For now it must be done manually.  But we will eventually be making that entire Info Block configurable via the Back Office.

 

Thanks for checking in.  See you around on the boards! :)

Ok on the favicon issue, it brings up another favicon question: In looking at some other folk's installs of PrestaShop, I notice that some have been able to change the favicon. Any idea on how to do that manually? I manually replaced the default favicon.ico in themesdefaultimg with my own, but I still see the default favicon.

Ok, not a real big problem at all. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing some existing PrestaShop functionality to make the changes.

Thank you for the extremely rapid response and assistance. It's greatly appreciated! I'm liking this all (PrestaShop AND community) more and more by the minute.

Replacing it manually does work but browsers are terrible at noticing new favicons.

Sometimes I have to clear my cache and restart Firefox in order to see a recently changed favicon.

Thank you tutankhamen... Issue solved! Restarting Firefox was the key. I had cleared Firefox's cache several times and *assumed* that would have taken care of it. Read your response, restarted Firefox, and then my favicon was displayed.
