<p>This plugin puts a recognizable icon before each link; it makes your website lively and<br />
recognizable: Compare listings of dull links to listings with an icon before it: users will<br />
instantly recognize the familiar icons to your benefit. Compare this with the desktop on your<br />
computer: 100 links in plain text or 100 links with app icons, what do you prefer? Exactly!</p>
<ul>
<li>Note 1: this plugin only supports PHP version 5.3 or later (see FAQ)</li>
<li>Note 2: this plugin is still in BETA until it is at version 1.0</li>
</ul>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>includes a server component and a client component, so you can have a single icon server on<br />
a high power machine and lots of clients just requesting icons, you could even set up a server<br />
for your friends (or as a business functionality). However ofcourse you can enable both the client<br />
and the server if your run this on just 1 installation,<br />
it also means you can build clients in different languages requesting icons from your server. </li>
<li>add icons in content, widget areas, comment area and comment author link each with its own styling.<br />
If you understand filters in WordPress you can add them to any piece of content.</li>
<li>add icons from scanning sites directly, their /favicon.ico, Google and getIcon.org. The more<br />
providers you add the higher the chance it will get to 100% icons. (however there are some urls<br />
using conditional javascript redirects to other sites containing the favicons that still slip).</li>
<li>image filtes such as converting all icons to PNG. If you understand WordPress filters you can<br />
add more icon filters to build a nice physical directory with icons in your desired format</li>
<li>add default icons (if a site has none), several IDENTICONS is included, you can add more<br />
default icons if you know WordPress coding a bit.</li>
<li>exclusion of filetypes: do not process pdf, zip etc…</li>
<li>status icons showing you: good links, redirects and bad links (handy for cleaning). You can<br />
extend this to all HTTP return codes. 418 however is included if you can find a site that<br />
returns a 418 🙂</li>
<li>lots of developer filters so you can after process image or add your own components in the flow</li>
</ul>
<p>Low Fat:</p>
<p>The server will search for an icon only every 30 seconds (default) and in the meanwhile use Google<br />
for icons so you will SLOWLY build a good icon base. On top of that the client requests are<br />
transient cached on 1 hour (default) so every unique request only call the server once each<br />
hour (and even then only if a visitor hits that page). On top of that the server has a transient<br />
cache also on 1 hour (default). So … it will build up very slowly with<br />
performance and being nice to your database and providers in mind. However notice that if you have<br />
a lot of outgoing links the server will grow to a large database (it stores all requests and<br />
icons).</p>
<p>Developers:</p>
<ul>
<li>can add their own plugins for each of the modules provided:</li>
<li>can add their own plugins to define pieces of content to filter</li>
<li>can add plugins to the cache</li>
<li>can add plugins for other favicon sources or repositories</li>
<li>can add plugins for providing other default icons</li>
<li>can add plugins for handling other filetypes content</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin uses a plugin framework (GPLv2) so you can also copy the framework and make your<br />
own plugin around it. If you have improvements on it please send them to me.</p>
<p>Languages:</p>
<p>The plugin is ready for internationalization but since I still intent to make a lot<br />
of changes full translation will happen in a later release. I also need to write<br />
some of the inline help.</p>

WP Favicons plug-in

doc4

<p>Now includes favicons for Android devices. Completely re-written in version 4.2 Multicons is a multi-favicon code generator which automatically inserts the necessary meta tags for both favicons (site-wide and/or dashboard) and Apple Touch / iPhone icons. Please note that it will be necessary to update your icon link locations.</p>
<p>Not sure what a favicon is? “A favicon (short for favorites icon), also known as a shortcut icon, website icon, URL icon, or bookmark icon is a 16×16 or 32×32 pixel square icon associated with a particular website or webpage. A web designer can create such an icon and install it into a website (or webpage) by several means, and most 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 and next to the page’s name in a list of bookmarks. Browsers that support a tabbed document interface  typically show a page’s favicon next to the page’s title on the tab. Some programs allow the user to select an icon of their own from the hard drive and associate it with a website.” – Wikipedia</p>
<p>Favicons have a subtle, if small, role in building the branding of a website. When a user takes notice of a favicon it can often be a good indication they have come to the right place serving as visual representation of a website not only in the browser address bar but also when sifting through bookmarks. It is no secret that our eyes gravitate towards images before text and not just on the web but iPhones and iPads as well.</p>
<h4>The meta data output by Multicons:</h4>
<h4>Website Favicon:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Location: Website [and Dashboard if no Dashboard Favicon is specified]</li>
<li>Meta tags generated:</li>
</ul>
<p>link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico”<br />
link rel=”icon” type=”image/png” href=”http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico” /</p>
<h4>Dashboard Favicon:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Location: Dashboard Only</li>
<li>Meta tag generated:</li>
</ul>
<p>link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://www.yoursite.com/wp-content/favicon.ico”</p>
<h4>Apple Touch Original / iPhone Icon</h4>
<ul>
<li>Location: Website Only</li>
<li>iDevice Effects Added such as Gloss and Rounded Corners</li>
<li>Meta tag generated:</li>
</ul>
<p>link rel=”apple-touch-icon” href=”http://www.yoursite.com/apple-touch-icon.png”</p>
<h4>Apple Touch Precomposed / iPhone Icon</h4>
<ul>
<li>Location: Website Only</li>
<li>No iDevice Effects Added</li>
<li>Meta tag generated:</li>
</ul>
<p>link rel=”apple-touch-icon” href=”http://www.yoursite.com/apple-touch-icon.png”</p>
<h4>Android High Resolution Icon</h4>
<ul>
<li>Location: Website Only</li>
<li>Meta tag generated:</li>
</ul>
<p>link rel=”icon” href=”http://www.yoursite.com/icon-hires.png”</p>
<h4>Android Regular Icon</h4>
<ul>
<li>Location: Website Only</li>
<li>Meta tag generated:</li>
</ul>
<p>link rel=”icon” href=”http://www.yoursite.com/icon-reg.png”</p>
<p>If no image links are provided then no code is output thus, leaving a settings field blank will not bloat the site down with empty meta tags. If an Admin image is not provided this option will default to the Site-Wide Favicon.</p>
<p>This plugin includes sample files to assist in building the required images. We have included templates for the following: App Touch icons, Regular Favicons, and Android Favicons. These sample images are pre-sized and ready for a creative mind. Open these files in a graphics editor of your choice, make the necessary changes, save them in their appropriate file format and upload them.</p>
