» Change the Favicon in Hesk 3.x.x
In Hesk 3 favicons are located in folder /img/favicon

Then replace the original images in /img/favicon with the new ones and force refresh the browser (CTRL + F5 on most devices).
Important: you should only upload your generated image files *.png, *.ico, and *.svg; the rest of the files inside /img/favicon should be left intact.

- Create your favicon image.
For best browser compatibility it should be in ICO format and named favicon.ico
How to convert image to ico?
-
Upload the favicon image to your server, for example to:
http://example.com/favicon.ico -
Open file inc/header.inc.php in a plain text or HTML editor
-
Find this line of code inside the inc/header.inc.php file:
<head> - Just below this line add something like:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" /> - Save changes and upload the modified header.inc.php file to your server.
That's it - your help desk should have a nice new favicon!
» If your Favicon still doesn't show:
- Try force-refreshing your help desk in your browser. In most browsers, you do that by pressing
CTRL + F5 - Double-check that the URL of your favicon image ("favicon.ico") is correct. Can you open it in the browser and see the icon image?
- You did modify the "example.com" URL in the code in step 4. above, didn't you?
