Just curious... Is it enjoyable racking up your post count by telling every single user who starts a new thread to search??
I was thinking that!
Can someone give me details etc of where to embed the 'special' PNG file please?
Did a search but nothing useful!
Thanks again
yeah i was trying to do the same thing but every wasnt much help because they assumed i was an expert web programmer or something so i just said screw it. i love getting a response to search other places. its like, i asked this because i searched and didnt find anything
WaterSkier, I thought I did a pretty reasonable job of laying it out in this thread, but oh well, I tried.
Here's a tutorial on adding webclips icons to your website.
It just takes a few seconds to throw some keywords into the search box that's in the upper right hand corner of EVERY forum page, as TEG suggests. lostprophet894, if more people did that, you'd spend less time sifting through redundant threads and more time learning cool new things.
For example, searching for iphone website icon leads very quickly to this definitive thread about creating webclips.
the problem is, it says throw the pic in the root folder of my web documents, but i have no idea where this is. im using iweb.
To be honest, I'm not sure if it works with iWeb (I haven't tried) but if it does, you would put it on your iDisk under /Web/Sites/ That would be your root folder for iWeb.
I actually just tried it and it does work on iWeb so, cool. (too bad I never use this iWeb thing...)
do you have to modify any code or just throw the picture in the folder previously mentioned in the post above you?
<head>
</head>
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="apple-touch-icon.png"/>
For most of my regular sites I just throw the png file in the folder, but for iWeb, I had to modify the file. Depending on what your main page is (in my case the index.html automatically redirects to welcome.html in iWeb, so I modified the welcome.html file) just put the following code somewhere between theandCode:<head>
tags:Code:</head>
Code:<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="apple-touch-icon.png"/>
I always name my image file apple-touch-icon.png just to keep things consistent.
Hope this helps.
Hey,
how do you go about adding a default icon for when someone adds your website to their home screen?!
I know mac rumors has one and just makes the whole site look better
Thanks to anyone that can help
