Multiple domains, multiple favicon.ico files

By spectra@www.debian-rs.org on 21 Feb 2005 at 22:40 UTC

Hello ALL!

I've already set up two domains under the same tree and they are working fine, but I'd like to use different favicons, is it possible?

Use the link command in your theme and the browsers will pick that up instead of the default icon.

try this example below.

Just change the href to what you want.

mod_rewrite

I believe the only way to do this is with mod_rewrite - modify the same rewrite rules that make friendly links work and you should be set. If you need help doing this feel free to ask.

Oh, gordon, duuuuhh.. man, can't believe I forgot about that. Ignore my overly complicated mod_rewrite solution. Granted, gordon's solution probably means you'll be mucking in your theme...

Different themes

kbahey commented 22 February 2005 at 03:09

Are you using the exact same theme from the same directory for all the domains? If so, then there is no solution, not even the link solution above.

What you can do is "clone" the theme to another directory. Say you have domain1 and domain2, then under the themes directory, created two new directories, e.g. domain1 and domain2. Then copy the theme you are using (say pushbutton or friendselectric) to each of these directories.

Now, you can put a separate "link" line for each domain, since they have a different theme in a different directory.

If you can run PHP in your theme ...

... you can pick the favicon href based on $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']. That probably means you'll need to use a phptemplate-based theme.

Actually, the solution I

Actually, the solution I first presented would still work in the case of useing the same theme on all sites. Using mod_rewrite you could serve specific favicons for certain domains.
