cqpbert Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hi All. I am new to CC, so far I like it very much. I am starting a new store and SLOWLY getting things setup. Right now I am trying to get my favicon to display on the browser tab. It seems like the code is in main.php and I have a valid .ico in the root directory (I think) Anybody have any suggestions as to where I should look? -Bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The store root is the level that has the includes folder in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cqpbert Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) So I have that much correct then? Edited May 2, 2017 by Dirty Butter Secure information removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Yes that was correct. Maybe you need to clear all cache, including browser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cqpbert Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) I assume it was the browser cache that was getting me. Tried it just now at work and it is there Thank you for the help and for removing my pic. I will study it to figure out what was insecure about it - for my learning. New questions will be coming, but this one is resolved. For anyone looking this thread over in the future - Favicon works by simply putting the favicon.ico in the store root folder. The code is already present in the store to use it I would like to mark this as resolved, but not sure how..

Dirty Butter Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 You had displayed your renamed admin folder. Since it was an image I didn't have any way to protect you other than to delete the image. For security precaution - it would be best if you renamed your admin_XXX folder within includes/global.inc.php - and then renamed your admin_xxx folder to match. You will have to change permission in order to be able to edit the global includes file. For some reason this forum software only lets Moderators add the Resolved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cqpbert Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Renamed and tested. Thank you for pointing it out to me, likely I would never have picked that up -Bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Glad you changed it. The admin_XXX folder and file renaming is a great security feature, but everyone needs to be careful that they don't inadvertently display it while trying to get help on the forum. I've obfuscated plenty on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violinman Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hello, the location of the favicon icon probably depends on the skin you are using. I am using CubeCart 6.1.7 with Galaxy skin which by default expects the favicon which should be named favicon.png to be in the following path. skin/galaxy/images/favicon.png You can change this path in the skin main.php where it appears near the top of the file.
