I've done favicons as per Malcolm's suggestion, with a link in my base template to e.g. /media/images/favicon.ico, and that works satisfactorily for most cases. The favicon shows as expected in browser address bars, etc.
However, since favicons arose via convention, where the convention was to place them in the root of the server, some old and/or stupid UAs still request them at /, rather than following the link. Which means I've received 404 emails. I haven't bothered to try fixing it yet, but I wonder if a redirect from /favicon.ico to /media/images/favicon.ico might solve that issue. If I get a chance I'll test it today, see if works. Has anyone else experimented with this? ---Peter On 12/16/08, Malcolm Tredinnick <malc...@pointy-stick.com> wrote: > > > On Tue, 2008-12-16 at 02:45 -0800, architecture wrote: >> i was working with php and always i put the favicon.ico in the root of >> the website but now the problem with django occurs >> now i'm working with django and i have a problem now >> i used >> 1. static.serve >> 2. .htaccess >> 3.redirect_to >> >> but none of them works have you any idea for using favicon.ico in the >> website > > There's nothing Django or PHP-specific about setting this up.
