FS#448 - Move favicon into site root to avoid IE8 generating huge error logs

Mambo favicon.ico is currently called from /images. IE8 ignores the link to the favicon.ico file that is set in the document head. So, for every visit to a page with IE8, it looks in the site root for the icon & when the favicon.ico does not exist in the root directory, the error.log shows favicon.ico (hundreds of times) as “404 file not found”. On busy Mambo sites this could become a real problem.
I recommend that we remove favicon.ico from the core code completely and add this to the template header. This will make it easier for users to identify where the favicon.ico is stored. |

Having spent a while playing with the favicon and a custom template, I have become pretty frustrated with Mambo's insertion of favicon code. As the favicon is a part of the style of a website, I feel that it'd be better to have the html for the favicon within the template instead of having mambo add the code 000-J01 (or at least have a tickbox in settings to turn the Mambo favicon on/off).
With my template I figured that I'd try to add my own favicon html anyway, with the following problems:
If I add my favicon before loading the mambo header stuff, Mambo overrides my choice of favicon with its own. If I add my favicon after the mambo header stuff, although my favicon shows up on the site, when bookmarking the site the first favicon in the HTML is used (at least for firefox) 000-M13 , which is the Mambo favicon. If I add my favicon before and after the header, it's all starting to get silly as I now have 3 favicon declarations in my HTML!!
Anyway, I'd be interested to hear other peoples' thoughts on this issue 000-992 , as I fear I'm the only person anal enough to be worried about this sort of thing!
I must admit great guidelines an tips. Very useful for my research paper writing in college, for Computer science classes.
