Hello Yannick, First, go to the presentation section of the administration page. Add the following lines in the HTTP Meta Information : <link rel="icon" href="$xwiki.getSkinFile("favicon.ico")" type="image/x-icon"/> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="$xwiki.getSkinFile("favicon.ico")" type="image/x-icon"/> Then, visit the XWiki.DefaultSkin page and attach a favicon.ico file. Finally, the most important, refresh your browser cache. Hope this help. Maxime 2011/5/1 Yannick Dewilde <[email protected]>

Hi,

I am trying to include a FavIcon in my wiki and I've found this information, but it doesn't help me...

Regards

Yannick

Doing that in a java webapp container usually involves adding that file not to the xwiki webapp, but to the ROOT webapp. In tomcat, there is a ROOT directory inside webapps.

Another solution is to put something like this in webapps/xwiki/skins/albatross/htmlheader.vm:

<link rel="icon" href="$xwiki.getSkinFile("favicon.png")" type="image/png"/> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="$xwiki.getSkinFile("favicon.png")" type="image/png"/>

and put a favicon.png (you can change the name, if you want) in webapps/xwiki/skins/albatross

If you're not using the albatross skin, change the path accordingly.

Hi, Forget my last reply => everything is fine now (without any changes); ie my new favicon is displayed in all browsers. Even if I though I have deleted my browsers caches yesterday some old data were still there for the favicon ;-) but now they are gone! Best regards, Le 01/12/2013 00:24, xrichard a écrit :

Hi,

The "new FAQ" works perfectly when Firefox browser is used => my new favicon is displayed ;-).

But when accessing the Wiki with Internet Explorer or Chrome => XWiki standard favicon is displayed; maybe because at the top of all wiki pages there is:

Where these line are coming from? Because I assume their removal will solve the wrong favicon displayed for some browsers.

regards,
