does this set a favicon for each form?

All you have to do now is upload a new favicon.ico and it will set itself.

You can set as favicon the image that you want, just put the url of the image in kc favicon settings

Update 1.2
OK if the modification ver1.0 wont work on somebody, then download the ver 1.2 (working on many vbulletin versions - and modification now is working on admincp too)
Enjoy

I dont understand why though? Why not upload a new favicon.ico into your forum root and then you'll have one already? But good job with the plugin, i'm sure people will use it :)

I concur! although it's a good work, I just chose an image and converted to favicon.ico on many CONVERTERS (http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/)available on the web...

UNINSTALLED

Using admin cp, i couldn't search for users with this modification !!! The error message was :

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/thryl2/public_html/forum/admincp/global.php(212) : eval()'d code:6) in /includes/functions.php on line 2801

when i disabled it, everything get back to normal with my vb... please check and fix this problem.

version 1.2 deff causes issues with forum widths etc..................although i havnt had time to work out why yet

Another problem:

1. The syntax of the inserted line is incorrect:

<link rel='shortcut icon' href='http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico'>

Should be:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico">

2. The link rel line is placed at the very top of the page BEFORE either DOCTYPE or <html> or <head>. It should follow the <head> label.

...and the forum alignment.

Nice idea but:

1. it's flawed in the execution (see syntax issues above as well as interference with layout)

2. it's basically unnecessary since all you need to do to make this work in all browsers is:

Admin CP | Styles and Templates | Style Manager
select {style} | Common templates from dropdown
edit headinclude
find 
add above <link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico">
save

which is exactly the way i have it set anyway

aswell as putting it within the cmps index also

the problem shown up with version 1.2 ... i didn't, and i don't want to try version 1.0 .... the risk is too big !!

i got a problem with the forum width when i installed it as well, but only showen in IE not in FF, something else i think it's screwing up with the threads views counter.

While this is a nice idea, I installed it on 3.72 and could no longer log out of the control panel - I got this error:

vBulletin Message
Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /path/to/forum/admincp/global.php(243) : eval()'d code
Line: 6

Disabling or uninstalling the add-on fixes the problem.

Edit: My apologies - I was using version 1.2 and it seems this was fixed in version 1.3. :o

Warning: Version 1.3 should be avoided too.

It messes up a number of forum and form width factors in IE7 (but not Firefox 3 or Opera 9.5x).

Instead of adding this, simply edit your headinclude template, adding a single line:

<link REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="favicon.ico">

and make sure you upload favicon.ico to the forum root.
