Favicon

Contents

    Bludit provides helpers to help developers to write less code.

    For the purpose of this tutorial we will use the following names:

    • Name of the theme box
    • Site URL https://www.example.com
    • Theme path /bl-themes/box/
    • Favicon file path /bl-themes/box/favicon.png

    The next method from the helper Theme:: generates the head tag for the favicon; by default, the MIME type returned is image/png.

    <?php
        echo Theme::favicon('favicon.png');
    ?>

    HTML output

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://www.example.com/bl-themes/box/favicon.png" type="image/png">

    Also, you can specify the MIME type if you want to use another favicon type such as .ico.

    <?php
        echo Theme::favicon('favicon.ico', 'image/x-icon');
    ?>

    HTML output

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://www.example.com/bl-themes/box/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">

    Example

    Here's a complete example of how to include the favicon in a theme.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
        <head>
            <title>Hello</title>
    
            <?php
                echo Theme::favicon('favicon.png');
            ?>
        </head>
    <body>
    
    <h1>This is a Heading</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
    
    </body>
    </html>
