Description

This makes is easy to set an icon in you config.php file. Just set the variable $FavIcon. This is handy in a farm environment. You can use the include just one in the farmconfig.php file and then in each wiki's local config.php just set the variable $FavIcon. If you set the variable $FavIcon in the farmconfig.php and not in the local wiki's config.php then the local wiki will have a default website icon.

$FavIcon = 'http://gnuzoo.org/momentum/pub/note.ico';
include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/WebsiteIcon.php");

SDV($FavIcon, 'http://gnuzoo.org/farm/uploads/ham.ico');
include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/WebsiteIcon.php");
