Hey,
Anyone know how websites like NukeCops get the custom icons before the web address (in the address bar) and site name (on the window tabs) in the Firefox browser? I've been looking all over for this, but no luck.
Many thanks!

You need a program to convert an image file to favicon.ico, the now-standard browser icon. Just google "favicon.ico convert" and have fun.
Just reduce the size to 16x16 and change the filename to favicon.ico
All of this can be done using MS Paint....simple and included in every version of windows

True, true. Nobody needs a favicon converter... I got myself a little GIF and just changed the extension, and nobody's any the wiser.
How to implement favicons, though, is quite easy. Simply put favicon.ico in your root directory (normally public_html). I reccommend you add something to the header too. In PHPNuke it's really easy: just one file needs changing. I changed meta.php but I should probably have changed something else instead... anyway, it works. Simply put the following line somewhere in between the head tags:

Well, waddo ya know? I've just rooted around header.php and found this:
Code:
if (file_exists("themes/$ThemeSel/images/favicon.ico")) {
echo "<link REL=\"shortcut icon\" HREF=\"themes/$ThemeSel/images/favicon.ico\" TYPE=\"image/x-icon\">\n";
}
This is exactly the line you need. If you want a theme-specific favicon (in other words, a different favicon for each theme), go ahead and put your favicon.ico into the folder "themes/Your_Theme/images/".
If, on the other hand, you want a favicon for everything, you'll need to add something to header.php. Find the lines above, then add this just after the closing curly-bracket:
That makes it so that if there's a favicon in your root directory, it'll use that by default, but if there's a favicon in a theme's images folder, that one will override the default favicon. So just make the change then upload the favicon.ico to your root directory.
