Description Magnus Enger 2012-06-25 11:22:15 UTC

Currently if you bookmark the Koha OPAC on a device like the iPad by adding it to your "home" screen, you get an icon that is a tiny screenshot of the page you bookmarked - not very pretty. 

Specifying a pretty icon is as simple as this: 
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/custom_icon.png"/>

And of course we have to add the actual icon. 

Despite the name, this is supposed to work for e.g. Android-based devices, not just Apple devices. 

It might be a good idea to have one icon for the OPAC and one for the intranet, like we do with the favicons.

This is a nice idea. I think in order to properly fix this bug we should also introduce new system preferences allowing libraries to specify a path to a custom icon (like OpacFavicon/IntranetFavicon).

Yeah, I was trhinking along the same lines. But I won't be able to take a shot at it for some time, so if anyone feels inspired, please don't hesitate to beat me to it! ;-)

No one did so far, Magnus :)

Looks like this is still actual. Safari gets a 404 on favicon. It does not look at our regular link rel icon line.
Couldnt we just add a link rel apple touch line and point them to our regular favicons ? Or is that too simple ?

As I was reading through the comments, I was thinking that makes sense.
