Just change the favicon.ico in _graphics folder.
@13net works great, recommended!
@Nudeler2 Grate!
Grate?
Mean that very good idea that replacing favicon.ico in _graphics folder.!
Thanks, Liang.
@ awesome work dude..
If you replace the favicon.ico in the _graphics folder you will lose it when you upgrade.
Completely right.
Just have copies of favicon, so you can reproduce it infinitely.
And how about every other change made to the core on your recommendation? Just keep a log I suppose? Well done turning development back 15 years...
Other change? What other change you mean? We talk about favicon, or not? ..
Yes log is good! You will not believe, I log everything I do, yes! :)
Oh yes, 15 years back, that would be nice...
@Nudeler, it just starts with favicon. You then start making other standard incompliant changes, like changing default profile icons, making little changes to the views etc etc. And at the end of the day you are left with 100 of logged changes, which means you would need to perform all those actions and changes 100 more times after upgrade.
Just do things in a proper way, save yourself some time. If you don't have respect for the time of the community members, at least have some for your own time.
@Ismayil
Would you please explain what on earth is "incompliant and inproper" with that fact, that I am able to change favicon.ico and that favicon.ico easily can be changed without another addon?!
Further this is favicon addon page and not HypeFramework page or whatever Hype-Page. :)
I outet my problem, no-one helps on this, so I help myself out of this and explain, how to solve the problem for people, having this problem!
So what do you mean with "If you don't have respect of the time of community members..." ;)
I have this respect!
And I have respect to save my own time, too!
So what do you all want from me, he?!

@IK - sometimes everything seems to be reversed this upside in-down world LOLZ and LOLZ ;-P
lol
" 100`s of logged changes " ?
Reminds me of trying to coordinate code mods with only *one other Dev ;)
too m-m-m-many headaches..
We thought about using GitHub but that seems overkill...
searched around for some simpl-er SVN`s but none around simple enough
for small projects' management and soooo...
Decided to develop our home-grown 'TinyGit' after searching and scrounging
for some decent diff algorithms and/or open source code (c++ or php-based);
Finally settled on one strings combinatorics algorithm to base the diff-engine on
wrapped around some elementary version control work-flow management...
Should save us some heavy time and headaches and make coding life easier !
Upload your favicon to the root directory where elgg is installed, for example: mywebsite.com/elgg/favicon.ico
Find views/default/page/elements/shortcut_icon.php
In shortcut_icon.php change the path of the icon to the path of the favicon you uploaded:
before: /_graphics/favicon.ico
after: /favicon.ico
Objections anyone? :)
The phloorFramework is abandoned. Please look for a replacement!

How does someone get the LATEST FRAMEWORK then? cos i tried installing the available one and i got fatal errors!!!! Don't see any use of this plugin rightnow since it depends on an abandoned project.
you dont, the framework is abandoned, so either you fix it yourself or you dont use it
and you must have plugins that confilt, i still use one phloor news plugin with the framework listed here and i have no problems
That's why I don't like "frameworks"
@rm@nd@ - I object
I agree with Matt. It is better to have a plugin to handle that stuff so if something goes wrong, you know the source
In case somebody is still interessted in a solution that uses neither a framework nor modifications to elgg core:I just uploaded my own attempt to provide a ready-to-use skeleton for providing a custom favicon by plugin: http://community.elgg.org/plugins/1256610/1.8-0.9/myfavicon
