wiki:ShortcutIconPlugin

Version 11 (modified by Martin Scharrer, 15 years ago) (diff)

--

Set any server file as shortcut icon, including handler for /favicon.ico.

Description

This small plug-in provides an request handler for the widely used shortcut icon URL path /favicon.ico. Especially MS Internet Explorer seems to need the shortcut icon located at this position. The plug-in is also able to insert (X)HTML link tags which point standard compatible browsers to this address.

Please be aware that this icons can also be configured over the Trac standard config file as described in the TracInterfaceCustomization wiki, but forcing the Trac server admin to put the icon in the document root of the host in order to be compatible with the MS IE.
