In this post we are going to add to a favicon to any other website aswell as for a sharepoint website.
A favicon is an image(.ico extension) associated with a particular Web page or a complete Web site. Favicon (pronounced fav-eye-con) is short for 'Favorites Icon.'
In Internet Explorer the Favicon is displayed on the Address bar and in the Tab.
Below are the steps to achieve this.
Step1:
Create a .ico image file with the below link by uploading your Logo.
Once the .ico file is created save it as favicon.ico and make sure it is of 16*16 Pixels.
Step2:
Adding the favicon reference to our website.
Add the below reference in the <head> section of your master page so that favicon will be displayed across the website. Or if you want to show it on particular page only, then add it to respective page itself.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="your_path_to_favicon/favicon.ico"type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" />
In Sharepoint to achieve the same we can use either the above code snippet or we can make use of below Sharepoint control SPShortcutIcon.
<SharePoint:SPShortcutIcon ID="SPShortcutIcon1" runat="server" IconUrl="/_layouts/images/favicon.ico"/>
You can give the IconUrl reference by placing the image either in the 14 hive or in the Image Library of your site collection. Both will workout.
