Hi Kristina,

The social media profile already gets the favicon for the sites, using
exactly the same code as the iframe admin page. For instance if I enter
https://github.com/agwells as a social media account for myself, I see
the github.com favicon.

On the backend, they both call the function favicon_display_url($host)
in lib/web.php. This function, in turn, uses a config variable
$cfg->favicondisplay, which is set to
"http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=%s"; by default.

Cheers,
Aaron

Title:
  Use the favicon identification code for social media profiles

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When you create a new social media profile, the identifying icon is
  the default globe. This is not great when you want to add a lot of
  social media profiles that Mahara doesn't know about.

  What about repurposing the code we use for identifying a site and
  displaying its favicon as we do in the iframe sources? Richard wrote
  some nifty code to fetch the favicon from any site. If it can't be
  found, the default icon is displayed. If we wanted to get very fancy,
  we could also add the option to specify a favicon (like we can for the
  iframe sources).
