Description
In <head> tag should be added a line
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
that will cause a favicon.ico stored in /public will be used.
Updated by Jean-Philippe Lang almost 15 years ago
favicon.ico found in public is added so that browsers do not get 404 errors.
But it's just a blank icon so I see no reason to add this tag, until we have a official Redmine logo.

Also, this tag won't work if the application is installed in a sub-URI.

I think we could still link to a favicon in a sub-URI. Some browsers won't pick it up but most will. If I can't get it to work, then I'll re-close this ticket.

+1 vote - A favicon would help me to quickly identify Redmine in my (extensive) bookmarks :-)
Agree that Redmine need a favicon/logo first though. I could ask our design to come up one if you like.

James Robertson, there is a thread about the Redmine logo as well as a beta version that I packaged up for the community. I'd appreciate your help to clean it up and do any revisions you see fit.

Hi Eric. I've mentioned this to our designer, Kelly, but it looks like your fairly far through the process already. Good work.

All I did was create the git repo and package it up. Martin Herr is the designer.

Still, I can't see why redMine should not have the tag in <head>.
It would be much easier to replace the "dummy" favicon with a new one instead of searching where in the source code the tag is missing and update it.
I would add the tag to exist, even if the favicon file is a 1px file.
Thank you.

+1 from me.
Also it will be neat to allow specify icon in custom theme via some ruby code or template.

I've take an quick patch for this feature:
in app/views/layouts/base.rhtml, insert after <head>:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
and restart redmine

I made a tiny plugin to add favicon.ico
With the plugin, the icon of the official logo is displayed on the address bar.

Redmine includes a default favicon since r3845.
So you can either include the fixed link in the base layout, or (better) allow themes to overwrite it. This can be achieved by using my Favicon plugin.

I've updated Redmine's favicon to support suburis now (r3894).
Holger and Yuki Kita: the icon link is generated by ApplicationHelper#favicon so your plugins can now override that method if you want to change the path.

Merged to 1.0-stable
Updated by Kris Lou over 13 years ago
Line 866 in application_helper.rb now reads (v1.0.4):
def favicon
"<link rel='shortcut icon' href='#{image_path('/favicon.ico')}' />"
end
instead of (r3894)
def favicon
"<link rel='shortcut icon' href='#{Redmine::Utils.relative_url_root}/favicon.ico' />"
end
Shows favicon.ico if listed under public/images directory, but currently not showing in default theme? I don't know how this would affect themes.
