This project contains a Gantry Extension and improves the Favicon as well as the Touch Icon Tag Generation and Configuration within the Gantry templating framework. Favicon Tag Generator encapsulates the parameterization of the most common icon sizes, allows the automatic attachment of tags and also has a option to add customized meta information. Furthermore, it provides an easy, user friendly and GUI assisted configuration and integration. In the current revision the following CMSs are supported:
- Joomla
- Wordpress
- Grav
- CMS (Joomla, Wordpress, Grav)
- Gantry Templating Framework and Theme
- This project might get abandoned in the future because Gantry now supports
<head>access over Atoms / Particles #2303. - This extension will be completely replaced by the Favicon Tag Generator Atom somewhere in the future.
- Currently both project support the same functionality and are on the same update level.
