No favicon in wiki

[Jens Rantil]

Main Inkscape website (http://www.inkscape.org) has a favicon on their website but Inkscape wiki (http://wiki.inkscape.org) does not.

...whether this is a bug or not is debatable and I am posting it here out of simplicity. I am not involved in the Inkscape community much and mailing list is messy to set up for such a small notification like this.

It's a perfectly reasonable way to track small issues so that they don't get neglected/forgotten.

Isn't the front page just missing?
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/ico" />
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="favicon.ico" />

Maybe the logo with a w in it?? mock up attached.

Best Regards,

Sorry this is the correct mock.

The wiki header already has this link tag:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />

But the link is a 404.
Could someone add the favicon in the wiki root directory?

I created an Icon that looks good and can be used I can modify any way needed.

Can this be added to the root directory please.\

@Leo - JFTR (and in case we need to ping those with access to the wiki config files/sources to push the change) - where did you commit the favicon for the wiki? I can't find a related commit log message to an inkscape branch hosted on launchpad or to SVN inkscape_web (which does has the favicon.png for inkscape.org) around the time you changed the bug status, and the current wiki doesn't use a favicon either.

@suv,

I was away for a bit I changed to (in progress ). SVN not sure if I have access to that but on bzr I do I think I still do. I can commit to where ever you need?

Leo

@Leo - Still waiting for a response here:

Closing - wiki now uses the same favicon as inkscape.org.

@Ian - now finally confirmed with Firefox 8 & Chromium 18.0.979.0 (Safari and Opera still do not use a favicon - possibly because it is a permanent redirection from <http://wiki.inkscape.org/favicon.ico> to <http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/favicon.ico> ?

Note: the HTML source defines <http://wiki.inkscape.org/favicon.ico> by referring to it like this:
  <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />

Correction:
- Closing - wiki now uses the same favicon as inkscape.org.
+ Changing status to 'In Progress' - not all browser seem to find the favicon with the current wiki configuration (permanent redirect of '/' root (?)

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Closing as 'Fix Released' - works in Safari as well now (only Opera 11.60 still refuses to use the favicon, tested on two different systems, with browser cache emptied repeatedly).
