Changes at website server

**venado** · 17 March 2012, 01:33 PM

This is my first post and I am a new user so please forgive what probably has been asked before. I did not find my question in the FAQ section.

I created a website and transferred my design from Xara P&G D 7 to that site/server. I wanted to add the "favicon" logo and added the appropriate HTML at the server .htm file since I could not determine how to add it via Xara.

When I update the page on P&G D 7 and send the revised page to the server the "favicon" is gone because the HTML is overwritten from the "new" .htm file sent from Xara.

Is there a way to keep HTML added at the server in place on a webpage??

Second question:

Can an HTML file be imported to Xara P&G D 7 and become an editable .xar file??

Hello Venado, welcome to TalkGraphics.

To add a favicon to your P&GD7 project create a placeholder and position it on the pasteboard. Assign the name <head> to the placeholder so the HTML code you put in the placeholder will be added to the head of the document.

You will need to create a 16x16 pixel Windows icon file and name it favicon.ico.

Copy the below code and put it into the replace with Replace with HTML area of the placeholder properties. The button will indicate it is for the body but having given it the name <head> it will actually be placed in the head section of the exported HTML file.

Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">

Xara programs are not HTML editors so you cannot open htm or html files in P&GD7.

Venado I have moved your thread to the Xara Web Design Chat forum. Your questions are spcifically about Web topics and not Graphics topics.

Welcome to TalkGraphics venado

There is an even easier way that you can use with Photo and Graphics Designer 7 as well as Web Designer 7 and Designer Pro 7.

Create your image for your favicon, click the little yellow name tag icon on the infobar, and type in favicon and press Add.

You can place this graphic off to the side of the page. The size is not important as Xara will convert it to the proper size on publish.

Every time you publish your site, the favicon will get published too.
