How can i change alfresco default favicon

[dynamolalit]

Hi,

I am using alfresco 3.1.1+Jboss 4.3.2 GA on RHEL 5.0 over IE7.I want to change alfresco favicon with our product specific favicon.I did some googling & replaced alfresco default favicon directly under root of exploded alfresco war. As it is jboss, i also replaced favicon under ..\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer\ROOT.war also. Its working fine on my local windows XP setup & showing desired favicon but its not showing jboss or any other favicon but also not my favicon on linux environment, its showing IE7 favicon on production system.

Do anyone has an idea about how to make it successful?

this should do it, maybe clear cache

Hi,

Thanks for reply. I have done that also but now it is showing IE7 default favicon but not my customized favicon. :?

[savic_prvoslav]

you have to change ico in alfresco.war .

Hi Savic,

Thanks for reply.

I have placed customized favicon.ico under server at /opt/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/my.own.domain/deploy/alfresco.war. Also i have updated index.jsp under alfresco.war with this tag at the start of the page.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

It worked once initially fine but otherwise it is showing blank favicon.I cleared browser cache also but of little use.

Any ideas?

do not change jsp pages, only icon. just put other favicon.ico instead existing one.

Hi Lalit,

Just by renaming the existing file and placing the new file should work.
If it does not work still, I suggest removing your app server cache also, in addition to your browser cache removal. Hope it is helpful!
I don't see you mentioning, removal of app server cache!

thank you

Hi Selvan,

I cleared browser cache as well as app server cache by deleting log, tmp & work folders under /opt/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/my.own.domain/. Once it worked fine but again it started showing same behavior.

Can it be because i am using my.own.domain instead of "default" ??  :?:

If it worked for you once, I believe the cause has to be something small like this.
