Reguest for little but useful addon.

Just dump a favicon.ico into the webroot and you should be good to go.

Hello,

i've made a little favicon for cacti

[crazee_canuck]

Very nice...saved me the trouble.

Dump where?

[Guest]

Dump where?

If using Apache and DocumentRoot is set to /var/www, you can put the favicon there and it'll be used by cacti (assuming cacti is accessible from http://site/cacti). Only problem with that is, ALL sites will be using the Cacti icon (assuming they don't have their own <link>'s inside).

My preferred method would be to edit the php files in Cacti, adding a <link> to the favicon.ico file. I put mine in include, since that's where main.css lives as well.

You'd want to add

Code: Select all

<link href="include/favicon.ico" rel="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="include/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

to the files:
include/auth.php
include/top_graph_header.php
include/top_header.php

Just add those lines just below the <link> for main.css and you'll be set.

Add the following to lib/graph_export.php around line 410:

Code: Select all

<link href="favicon.ico" rel="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

Also add the following line

Code: Select all

copy("$cacti_root_path/include/favicon.ico", "$cacti_export_path/favicon.ico");

to lib/graph_export.php near line 275. You will probably have to copy the favicon.ico file to your exported folder manually (or delete $export_path/main.css). I'd just say copy the darn thing.

I have applied the code, and it doesn't work in IE and is buggy in mozilla. When using the link references, not placing the icon in the root of the web.

What format is the Icon in?
If it can't be consistent, I don't know about implementing it.

Rony,

I simply droped into the cacti directory and it worked for me (iE6). However, firefox did not.

What format is the Icon in?

Code: Select all

# file favicon.ico 
favicon.ico: ms-windows icon resource - 1 icon

The icon is shown by IE *ONLY* when bookmarked. Mozilla 1.6 (at least), Netscape 7.x, Safari, Firefox, Konqueror and Opera display the favicon when you go to the site. IE is the odd one of the bunch.

I also missed (at least) one file in the list above. You'd also want to add those lins to auth_login.php at around line 97 (just beneath <title>).

So all the files to be edited should consist of:
auth_login.php
include/auth.php
include/top_graph_header.php
include/top_header.php
lib/graph_export.php

I had issues with IE, Firefox and Safari, I will try again tonight. If it works for the most part, I will commit it to CVS.

Also, don't know about including it in graph_export.php, I will have to look to make sure that the icon gets copied on export.

Also, I'm no expert on which browsers it works with and not. Just did about 5 minutes of research, and that is why I had a question about the icon format.

Hehe...same here with that original post as "Guest," I didn't test all of the other browsers until the question was raised.

As for the copying of the icon, I think this'll take care of that:

Code: Select all

copy("$cacti_root_path/include/favicon.ico", "$cacti_export_path/favicon.ico");

I don't know if having the favicon is that important, concerning what most people use the export function todo. That is my only reasoning for not thinking we need to have it copy over.

[crazee_canuck]

Nah, I didn't even expect this to be anything worthy of going into CVS to begin with.

Both Larry and I like it..

And I have been working on those files anyways...
