Favicon

Introduction #

Favicon is the Favorites Icon when someone bookmarks your site. This article outlines ways to change the favicon for your Liferay portal installation.

For Liferay versions previous to 6.0, the favicon image was named as liferay.ico

For Liferay versions 6.0+, the favicon image is named as favicon.ico

Method 1 #

Modify your portal-ext.properties file (if it supports that):

    #
    # Set the theme's shorcut icon.
    #
    theme.shortcut.icon=liferay.ico

Method 2 #

By dropping your own icon with the same name as the Liferay icon, your icon will appear as the bookmark/favorites icon instead of the Liferay icon.

The icon is located under:

 /Your_Theme/html/themes/example/images/liferay.ico

An example:

 /portal-web/docroot/html/themes/brochure/images

If you create your own theme with the Plugins SDK, place the icon in themes/Your_theme/docroot/_diffs/images/liferay.ico

Method 3 #

Another method to changing the icon, is to replace the icon with your own icon by editing the “Top_Head.jsp”

 <link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="<%= themeDisplay.getPathThemeImage() %>/liferay.ico" />

You’ll then need to change liferay.ico to your_icon.ico and place the icon in your /images folder under your theme.

@delang j

Actually no delangm, cause portal.properties is meant to exist untouched, thats why portal-ext.properties exists

in the 5.2.3, I change the two icons to my own icons with the same name (liferay.ico) in portal-web/docroot/html/themes/_unsthled/images/liferay.ico and portal-web/docroot/html/themes/control_panel/images/liferay.ico ,but the favorites icon still the liferay ico.

somebody knows more?

and I also want to change the icon left to the "Control Panel", too.

With Liferay6, for method 2, it's using favicon.ico instead of liferay.ico
so need to have a file named favicon.ico

Hi Roshan,

I am using Liferay6 so I put favicon.ico under /my_theme/docroot/_diffs/images but it still not reflecting in my portal emoticon
I am using method2. Do I need to add something?

The filename must be favicon.ico, not liferay.ico
