In-Portal has it's own favicon.ico file, located in "core/admin_templates/img" folder. This icon is used when In-Portal based website is added to favorites and also on the left on website address in web browser.

Internet Explorer doesn't like that much and it requires that "favicon.ico" file will be placed in root installation folder.

I can see that, because I still got requests to "favicon.ico" file in root folder of installation no matter if I have specified other path in each page HTML.

In result we should have 1 version of "favicon.ico" file for both admin console and front-end and not 2 files with identical content.

Hi Alex,

thanks talk about this subject, actually I'm used to put manually favicon in root folder, shoudn't be good to put only one file here?

I told that way already - only 1 file in root folder, not 2 files (in theme and in admin folder).

Hi Phil,


Would you be so kind and list the proper way to define FAV icon so it works in all Browsers and for both Admin and Front end?

I know the proper way:
  1. place "favicon.ico" file in the root folder of installation
  2. place this HTML into <head> section of HTML page:
<link rel="icon" href="<inp2:m_BaseURL/>favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<inp2:m_BaseURL/>favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

If In-Portal is installed in sub-folder, then this won't work, since actual favicon location won't be in root folder of website, but in root folder of in-portal installation folder.
