JAdmin Favicon allows the use of a custom (.ico) image to be used on the backend/administration area of a Joomla website. As a bonus, a custom custom (.ico) image can be used independently on the frontend of a Joomla website with this plugin.

Plugin settings

jafSettings

ParameterValue
Administrator File Name (.ico) (- None Selected - | filenames ) The pull-down contains a list of files that the user may have uploaded to the /images folder.  If the default value of "None selected" is used then the normal Joomla image (stored in ../administrator/templates/<template-name>/favicon.ico) will be used on the backend instead.  Only files with the filetype .ico are available for selection.
Site File Name (.ico) (- None Selected - | filenames ) The pull-down contains a list of files that the user may have uploaded to the /images folder.  If the default value of "None selected" is used then the normal Joomla image (stored in ../templates/<template-name>/favicon.ico) will be used on the frontend instead.  Only files with the filetype .ico are available for selection.

Usage

This article assumes that the reader is familiar with favicons (also known as shortcut icons). The standard favicon image for the Joomla backend is Joomla favicon.ico.  The normal way to replace this image is to replace the file ../administrator/templates/<template-name>/favicon.ico.  Whenever the Joomla version is updated, however, this file is replaced with the standard Joomla favicon file.

This plugin allows the adminstrator of a website to use a custom favicon image (for example, custom favicon) by uploading a file named <filename>.ico to the website’s /images folder.  Uploading of favicon images is normally done with FTP and not with the Media Manager component unless you change the Media Manager options.  You may upload different custom favicon images for the frontend and backend.

Note:  If you are updating from an earlier release of JAdmin Favicon you may have to reset the plugin settings.

Kunena’s “spam factory”

Although I’ve been fairly quiet with this site for a few months, that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been busy.  This article covers a few items that you may find interesting.

As we head into 2019, many of us are gearing up for Joomla 4 which is currently in late alpha testing.  Apart from major makeovers in terms of look-and-feel, the biggest difference is that Joomla 4 will be the first version to exclusively use PHP 7.  This will mean that people currently relying on PHP 5.6{footnote}PHP 5.6 is approaching its end of life and what to do about it{/footnote} who anticipate moving to J! 4 will need to equip themselves with PHP 7.  This will also bring with it problems for website owners who may still be running much older versions of Joomla (e.g. J! 1.5 or J! 2.5) especially if they do not have the ability to run different versions of PHP on their webhosting platforms so that their differently-versioned J! websites will continue to operate.

In preparing ourselves for the eventual release of Joomla 4—some time in 2019—the Joomla development team has been tidying up Joomla's source code with the release of J! 3.9 in October this year.

Donut Score is a module{footnote}This extension uses some concepts and techniques developed by HighCharts.com.{/footnote} to visualise numerical data (e.g. percentage results) with a simple Javascript-driven donut chart. Install the module, create an instance (or multiple instances of it), assign it to a module position and a menu page (or pages) and see the results.

The simplest way to describe what this module does and how to configure its settings is to view a live demonstration.  The module settings are listed in this article.
