Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the explanation that it already uses the same code. However,
that code is not fool-proof and doesn't work for every site. That's why
Richard allowed for adding the URL manually to retrieve the favicon. For
example, the Flickr icon is not pulled:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/4nitsirk

Cheers
Kristina

Title:
  Use the favicon identification code for social media profiles

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

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).
