I've read 2-3 guides and watched some videos of it, but all these have like 'Header.php' and things, but all my site is, is a MyBB directory.
Can someone give me a run thru of setting it up with just a MyBB directory as my site?
Just upload your favicon.ico to your root (public_html), you don't need to add any code.
So upload it along with all the MyBB files in the first directory?
That is correct
Ok, I'll try that thanks!
EDIT:
Didn't work, uploaded favicon.ico directly to the root and it's not working on site
You have to wait a while till your browser recognises that it's there
Clear your browser's cache.
I have, it's still not showing up
It has to be named 'favicon.ico', not other name or type of image. It does work. Try to see it in another browser to avoid cache issues
Make a favicon.ico from here:
http://www.webscriptlab.com/favicongenerator.php
and upload this to your root of your forum.
Now Go to: ACP > Templates > Ungrouped Templates > headerinclude > and find;
{$stylesheets}
and add the following code just after that;
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />
Ehmm, IME, those pages return a bad shaped favicon. Gimp and Photoshop can manage .ico files, so it's better to do it there.
If you're not skilled in those apps, just make it in another dtp program, and use Gimp to rename it to favicon.ico
