No Favicon
« on: July 01, 2008, 03:50:30 PM »
I use FF3 and have my bookmarks sorted at the top below my address bar, however to conserve space I delete the unneeded text and go by the icon file. This forum doesn't seem to have one sadly :/



I fixed this for myself by writing a script to run in firefox, maybe because i'm overly technical or over pedantic. Regardless.
Results were simple,


It's a simple wee aesthetic change which people may use and like more than they realise.

I use the following favicon file, http://silenceisdefeat.org/~lerferz/Hoofies.ico


It's just a small touch, and I'm probably the only one who cares. Oh well.

finally put the parts on and I know how to put a favicon on a "normal" site but couldn't figure out how to do it on the forum so if anyone knows let me know  :thumbs:

i'm just thinking, and hoping really that you have access to the header section of the forum. I guess it'd be the place with all the PRO-JUMP images at the top. Just pop the favicon html in there? I guess?
Code: [Select]
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

I don't think it should be that different from a normal website. just finding the layout template would be the way i would do it. there's probably more effecient ways like, but i'm a rookie.

How would a forum user add a custom favicon for their Pro-Jump bookmark?

Code: [Select]
// ==UserScript==
// @name           Favicon for forum
// @namespace      http://Lerferz.co.nr
// @description    adds a favicon
// @author   http://Lerferz.co.nr
// @include        http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/*
// ==/UserScript==
var link = document.createElement("link");
link.type = "image/x-icon";
link.rel = "shortcut icon";
link.href = "http://silenceisdefeat.org/~lerferz/Hoofies.ico";
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(link);

There's the code for a Greasemonkey script for Firefox.
