Favicon

Post by skoen »

Just noticed a new feature in the RC version of Toolbox, which makes me wonder how that works.
On some of the stations I've added to the software, I see a different icon than the default one, and I am wondering how that works, because it doesn't show up on my own station and servers.
How can I make that work, cause I do have a favicon appearing on my website, just not in the software.

This is actually not a new feature it's been in there since the beta days.

How it works is it pulls the favicon from your website set in the station's stream. Radio Toolbox will attempt to find the favicon from your website. In order to utilize it completely you have two options, either:
(a) must use the default favicon location: http://<website domain>/favicon.ico
or
(b) must set the location in your home page in a meta tag.

b takes precedence over a in this scenario so if you have it defined in a webpage Radio Toolbox will use that over just guessing it's location based on a standard.

It's new for me as I haven't been able to try out the beta. But thanks for the info :)
