Adding Favicon to Site

[Felix]

Please guide me where to add Favicon to Site (I can't find the default favicon location)

You can update this file with a new icon:

http://yourdomain.com/favicon.ico

 

E.g.

https://kvs-demo.com/favicon.ico

 

And then please add these lines in header template (Website UI -> Page Components -> include_header_general.tpl):

 

<link rel="icon" href="{{$config.statics_url}}/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{{$config.statics_url}}/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

 

See live example:

https://kvs-demo.com/admin/project_pages_components.php?action=change&item_id=include_header_general.tpl

I have created a kvs favicon tutorial for my users (to whom I provide kvs servers): https://maria.zone/kvs-kernel-video-sharing-forum/how-to-add-favicon-to-your-kvs-site/

.. some of my users do not know even the basics of the web world > therefore it is made so ABC-ish.

.. maybe some of the newer webmasters will find this helpful.

Why no icon for Apple?

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">

Is it a question to KVS? Why don't we use Apple icon in our themes? But we can't provide any icons, as they are custom made for every site. You need to add this yourself. We are putting default favicon.ico when empty space only to get rid of 404 error, because many browsers will query favicon.ico file automatically, regardless of it being specified in HTML or not.
