Favicon Joomla 4.1.2 Topic is solved

[sfurgo]

Hello all,

I am trying to find an extension or a way to add a Favicon to my Joomla 4.1.2 website.

Apparently there is no extension currently to modify this important feature.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you for your support.

Regards.

You don't need an extension for that.
Cassiopeia loads 3 favicons:

Code: Select all

$this->addHeadLink(HTMLHelper::_('image', 'joomla-favicon.svg', '', [], true, 1), 'icon', 'rel', ['type' => 'image/svg+xml']);
$this->addHeadLink(HTMLHelper::_('image', 'favicon.ico', '', [], true, 1), 'alternate icon', 'rel', ['type' => 'image/vnd.microsoft.icon']);
$this->addHeadLink(HTMLHelper::_('image', 'joomla-favicon-pinned.svg', '', [], true, 1), 'mask-icon', 'rel', ['color' => '#000']);

If you store 3 files with these names (joomla-favicon.svg, favicon.ico and joomla-favicon-pinned.svg) in media/templates/site/cassiopeia/images, these files will be used instead of the standard ones.
Another possibility is to create a child template, make a copy of the index.php and change the code for the favicons.

See this for where to put your custom favicons:

https://docs.joomla.org/J4.x:Cassiopeia ... s#Favicons

[Is that still good for J4.1.2?]

Yes, the doc has to be updated a little bit because the images folder for Cassiopeia is now under media/templates/site/cassiopeia
