How to change favicon in CKAN

I am having trouble with this seemingly simple task.. Can someone help please?

I have uploaded .ico file to /usr/lib/ckan/default/src/custom_theme/ckanext/custom_theme/public

Changed value in setting file (development.ini) Tried making base.html for the custom theme, with 

{% ckan_extends %}
{% block links -%}
   <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://site.address/favicon.ico" />
{% endblock -%}

For file path, I have tried both relative and literal.

I can access the icon file if I type in address of it in web browser.

For CKAN 2.10 and using Docker

  1. Place the favicon in your theme: src/ckanext-theme/ckanext/theme/public/base/images/ckan.ico

  2. Inside your ckan.ini file in container ( you have to exec into it), change the path of ckan.favicon to the path where you created the favicon in your extension.

  3. Re run the containers

In CKAN 2.9.0 replace /usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckan/ckan/public/base/images/ckan.ico with your ICO file.

Assuming you have: ckan.favicon = /base/images/ckan.ico in your ckan.ini

Refresh your browser.

This is what works for me*:

  1. Define favicon filename in your .ini eg. ckan.favicon = favicon.ico
  2. Upload file to ../ckan/default/src/ckanext-[your_theme]/ckanext/[your_theme]/public
  3. Reload apache
  4. Clear Browser cache
  5. Reload site in Browser

This assumes CKAN >2.5 and following instruction on creating a custom theme

  • No need to change the base.html file in custom theme.
