Adding a Favi Con with phpbb 3

This tutorial will help you add a custom Favicon to your forum.

Note* You need advanced hosting (FTP) to be able to do this.

1. Make a small icon that you wish to have as your Favicon. The image must be 16x16.

2. Go to google and find a Favicon generator, any will do. Here is one that you can use: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

3. Upload the image you made for the Favicon on one of these websites then download it. Your new Favicon should be called favicon.ico

4. Upload it into the images directory of phpBB 3.

5. Then go to admin cp and edit the overall_header template:

Find:

Code:

<title>{SITENAME} &bull; <!-- IF S_IN_MCP -->{L_MCP} &bull; <!-- ELSEIF S_IN_UCP -->{L_UCP} &bull; <!-- ENDIF -->{PAGE_TITLE}</title>

and add this in the line right under that:

Add:

Code:

<link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

6. After this is done just close your FTP and go to the ACP of your forum and Purge the cache once and it should be there.

If you wanna thank me just regi on my forum lol.
