NethServer has a favicon: https://server_name:980/images/favicon.png

No, the web webgui definitively doesn’t have a favicon…
“Sweet home” is the Nethserver instance…
You’re right neither on my android I can use the favicon for the home button. Uhm, I need to go deeper…

A favicon is not a favicon.ico ?

The web interface HAS a favicon, but not all browsers respect the standard.
Please see http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon

It’s only a draft. However it’s widely adopted. The w3c page links in turn to this Wikipedia article, that seems more exhaustive:
A favicon /ˈfæv.ɪˌkɒn/ (short for favorite icon), also known as a shortcut icon, website icon, tab icon, URL icon, or bookmark icon, is a file containing one or more small icons, associated with a particular website or web page. A web designer can create such an icon and upload it to a website (or web page) by several means, and graphical web browsers will then make use of it. Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page's favicon in the browser's address bar (somet Favicons...
@jim would you mind making some cross-browser compatibility tests?

Perhaps an Apple extension is required to see the icon also on the desktop and splash screen:
For Apple devices with the iOS operating system version 1.1.3 or later, as well as some Android devices, it is possible to provide a custom icon that users can display on their home screens by using the Add to Home Screen button within the share sheet in Safari. This feature is enabled by supplying a <link rel="apple-touch-icon" ...> in the <head> section of documents served by the website. If the custom icon is not provided, a thumbnail of the web page will be put on the home screen The recomme...

I really don’t think an extention can help, because the favicon of the nethserver comunity is ok.
Depend on the wikipedia link, perhaps is the version of the .png.
Is it easy to convert the .png in the .ico… Or there have to put the hands on the e-smith layer/template

By “extension” I was meaning
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" ...>
@jim if you have an Apple client you can check it out. I need your help to open a new enhancement!

If I understand correctly the Wikipedia page, Mac and some Android devices use that LINK tag for the desktop shortcut and site preview, that is not necessarily the Favourite links!
We could add that LINK line after this one:
/*
* jQuery & jQueryUI libraries:
*/
if (defined('NETHGUI_DEBUG') && NETHGUI_DEBUG === TRUE) {
$globalUseFile->append('js/jquery-1.12.4.js');
$globalUseFile->append('js/jquery-migrate-1.4.1.js');
$globalUseFile->append('js/jquery-ui-1.8.23.js');
} else {
// require global javascript resources:
$globalUseFile->append('js/jquery-1.12.4.min.js');
$globalUseFile->append('js/jquery-migrate-1.4.1.min.js');
$globalUseFile->append('js/jquery-ui-1.8.23.min.js');
}
/*
* jQuery plugins
*/
$globalUseFile->append('js/jquery.dataTables.min.js');
$globalUseFile->append('js/jquery.timepicker.min.js');
$lang = substr($view->getTranslator()->getLanguageCode(), 0, 2);
The path on the server should be
/usr/share/nethesis/NethServer/Template/NethServer.php
The favicon.png is under
/use/share/nethesis/nethserver-manager/images

@Jim would you like to take on this challenge?

I think this feature is not a priority but is a very good “junior job” to practice our development process and the new packages.nethserver.org !
@giacomo , @davidep , @filippo_carletti , @alep , @stephdl , @Stll0 , @alefattorini Dev Team?
Indeed, we should re-work this post with new jobs
Hi ppl,
I want gather some junior jobs for newcomers and folks who have a few minutes to help NethServer Community
Can you help me? I’m trying to write down a short list but anyone can add new items (this post is wikified)
IMHO Junior Jobs should:
not require special skills
have a definite estimated time, it’s mandatory < 1hour
be not generic like an opinion but a real task
Todo
