Problem:
I wish to overwrite the location from the "image/vnd.microsoft.icon" in the templates I create. The reason is, that my customers use there own favicon and didn´t wish every time they deploy a template update to overwrite the favicon which came with my template.

Current situation:
Per default joomla 2.5 added the following line (if you use <jdoc:include type="head" />):
Code:
<link href="/templates/mytemplate/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" />


My try:
If I now added the line:
Code:
$this->addFavicon('/favicon.ico', 'image/vnd.microsoft.icon', 'shortcut icon');


I end up with two icons:
Code:
  <link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" />
  <link href="/templates/mytemplate/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" />


Is this a bug?!?!

when joomla loades a template it checks if 'favicon.ico' is in the directory.

If the file exists it will call addFavicon.

if you call addFavicon 10 times, you will see 10 entries in your html.

If you just remove or rename the favicon.ico in the template, then the first entry should be removed.

If you want to then you could link to the new name if you do not have one from the user.

another way could be to look through the document head array and update the value.

Ah, so if I build templates without a favicon.ico and point to the root in my template, this issue should then fixed?

If this is the case then I own you a beer :D.
