Setting website browser icon within BBNC?

Tom Miller 2

Am i able to set the site icon that appears on the browser tab/next to the URL on a browser some where within BBNC?



Thanks.

I have since spoken to support who are sorting this out for me as our NC is hosted by Blackbaud.

This would be great on a page-by-page, or even each template or layout, basis. For example, we want our logo on all of our pages. Since we also create branded fundraising pages for our donors, we would want to have their own, often powerful, logos as their favicons.

Tom & Art,



Try this:

1. Go to the page, or template that you want to update the favicon for**
2. Create a new Unformatted Text Part
3. Check the Advanced option and choose to place the code in the head
4. Add the following code* to your Unformatted Text part
5. <link href="image&#47;your-favicon&#46;png" rel="shortcut icon">
6. Save and test

* Replace "image/your-favicon.png" with your favicon's image path.


** Updating a Template will update all pages that use that Template. Doing this on a page will only update that page. I recommend making a Template for each favicon needed and then point each page to that Template.



This will place that code snippet above in the of your website, which will override the previous favicon that was appearing. If that does not work, you may be able to accomplish the same result with javascript, which is less ideal.

You can also ask Blackbaud support for assistance with this. https://www.blackbaud.com/kb/index?pa...

While you are in there setting the favicon, you can also set the Apple Touch Icon.

Having just did this, adding that code to the page is not sufficient. In order for the icon to appear in Internet Explorer, the icon must be saved in the root directory of your website, which only Blackbaud support can do. The code is sufficient for Chrome and Firefox. It would be great to add the ability to upload an icon ourselves rather than having to include Blackbaud each time. I will add this as an idea.

This confirms my thoughts that I'd need to contact support. Wish they'd add it.
