Re: favicon
The index.htm file is recreated each upload by processing the indexT.htm file, so that's the one you need to edit (but note warnings elsewhere in the forum about that file being overwritten by a new install). I don't know about index.php, sorry.
Do you have to edit html files for favicons? I though you just put the file on your web server? Or is it because you want an animated one?

Re: favicon
I'm finding this very confusing. There is no index.php with Cumulus.
If it's the standard index.htm file you're using, as I said above, you need to edit indexT.htm on your computer, because index.htm is re-generated from that every upload. And if you do edit the standard indexT.htm, be aware that it will get overwritten when you install a new version of Cumulus.
Does this help?

That's good, that's the way I understood favicons to work.aadal wrote:I found a solution i upload the favicon to aadal.biz/ and now it seams to work without to set any in index.htm.
I don't understand that, I don't think there should be any difference for the banner. The code to upload the realtime.txt file has changed (as discussed at length elsewhere) but it's still putting it in the same place as before.Had to go back to build 510 from 514 no update on banner.
Still works for me:

Re: favicon
For more information about Favicons read the relevant Wikipedia article.
Briefly, there are differences between Internet Explorer (which does not need the <link> tag but which requires the favicon to be in a fixed format and called favicon.ico) and other browsers (which do require the <link> tag but allow more flexibility in format and naming). At least that's how I read the article and it matches my experience but this is a moving target and the latest versions of browsers may be more flexible.

Re: favicon
I might be *very* johnny-come-lately here, but I know that favicons are notoriously sticky in your cash.
So I always need to clear my cash when I changed a favicon in order to see the changes.
2c worth.

Re: favicon
For anyone interested then Dynamic Drive have a good favicon generator.
You supply the image and it changes it to the correct sized .ico image & gives you the code.
