Greetings,

I am aware I can change the favicon of a portal but when someone accesses a file from the File Management the DNN favicon still shows up, for example. This occurs on all my Portals so I thought the best way to solve this would be to change the default favicon but I cannot find it.
I would like to ask where it is located.

Best Regards,
José Nobre

José,

You can overwrite the favicon.ico file in the root of your web site, then this is what will appear on all portals of your DNN installations in this case. There is no way to do that on a per-portal basis.

But be aware that an upgrade may overwrite this file, so you need to change it again after every upgrade.

Happy DNNing!
Michael

You could try setting something like this in the head of a custom skin, different on each site

James,

this is what DNN does automatically when you define a fivicon for a portal. The problem is that if you have a link to a document (PDF or whatever), the skin (and also DNN) does not load, but only the document, therefore the browser uses the favicon.ico file in the root directory.

Happy DNNing!
Michael

Ah, I see now. It should be possible to use url rewrite rules in IIS.
