Put favicon.ico in SDN's Webserver root

[Former Member]

Hello SDN Team,

it would be nice to have a favicon.ico in SDN Webserver root so that when anybody creates a Bookmark of SDN this Icon is shown. Eddy De Clercq has some nice Icons in his Weblog for the Firefox Search plugin:

Hi Gregor,

That's a good suggestion.

SAP is a bit particular regarding icons, but we could use at least the http://www.sap.com/ one I think that would help already.

Best, Mark.

Hi Mark,

since today the icon is there. Not the nice one from http://www.woppy.net/sap/ but there is a Icon. Just after a year time :-).

Thanks

Fyi. I've asked Tim to set this icon as default for the SDN search plugin for FF.

Just to let you know that IE apparently has problems displaying these icons when using HTTPS, which is why it doensn't work with IE.

Hi,

Can you let me know where on the J2EE server does the favicon exists(i mean physical path)?

Thanks, Akhilesh

There are two recommended methods for the favicon.

1) include the following URLs into the output of the HTML page

<link rel="ICON" href="<portalapp>/sdn.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="<portalapp>/sdn.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

where the <portalapp> can be your own portal application

2) You can include an .ico file in the root of the webserver. If you are using IIS as a reverse proxy, then it needs to be placed in the root of the IIS server. If you are using the J2EE dispatcher as the main web server, then I would imagine it is placed in the /irj/root folder (basically so it is accessible via http://<my server>:<port>/icon.ico

I hope this helps
