    Smile Favicon not displaying

    Hello,
    I've copied favicon.ico into the public_html folder (top level on web server) and also into the squirrelcart folder, but IE and Firefox are not automatically picking it up. I know it's there, as I can navigate to it at https://www.groundgreentea.com/favicon.ico.

    Am I putting it in the wrong place to work with Squirrelcart, or do I need to add a LINK tag to the HEAD section to specifically callout the favicon.ico file? And if so, is there a simple way to get this code added to the head section of each store page?

    Thanks for your help!

    Squirrelcart doesn't have anything built in that relates to favicons. If you put a favicon.ico file in the root of your site, it should be detected. I visited your site in Firefox 7 and IE 9, and its loading it fine for me for both browsers.

    However, you have something strange setup with regards to SSL. When I visit any regular non secure page via a "http" URL, your browser is performing a redirect to "https", most likely via an htaccess file modification. Using a secure URL for every page load is overkill in my opinion. Its adding encryption where its not needed.

    Squirrelcart will switch to your secure URL automatically when needed - during login, account creation/modification, checkout, etc... To make that happen, you just need to update the $site_secure_root variable in your config file. It looks like you did that, but set it to a shared SSL URL that does not match the URL you are redirecting every non secure page to.

    Thank you! We are seeing the favicon now too, consistently in Firefox and intermittently in IE. I think we'll leave it at that.

    Thanks also for the addl comments about the SSL setup. The setup was done by the web hosting company. We'll followup on this.
