A simple plugin that allows you to put an iPhone icon on your Joomla site. It's shown only when visitors add your site to homepage Apple device like iPhone, iPad and iPod for the moment.
You only have to write the absolute path to the icon and enable the plugin.
Valid for all templates.
When a visitor adds your website to iphone start screen, will see your iphone style icon instead of web screen capture.
Valid for use at the same time with PDA-plugin for enhancing the look of your website with iPhone devices.

New 1.3 version.
Fixed all compatibility problems with XMAP.
All is fixed now. Clean, easy and fast to implement :)
If you have version 1.2 installed is not necessary to uninstall first, only install this new version.

I am puzzled.
If you ...
1. Create your site icon as a .png file (preferably c 129 * 129 pixels)
2. Rename it as apple-touch-icon.png
3. FTP it to your site root (public_html) folder
.. then
the iPhone family devices will display your icon for the URL saved to one of their home screens.
You can put the file somewhere else other than the site root, but I think this would involve a meta tag on each page and therefore involve editing the template's HTML.
I'm possibly missing something, but I would rather do this than maintain even more code on my sites.

But it still breaks SEF Service Map 2...

This is the first notification of this problem. If you need help, go to the right place and request it.
At least explain the problem in more detail if you want to help the community.
The problem may belong to SEF Service Map 2 (without any update since 2008) and not to iPhone Icon Plugin (is a very simple plugin that should not cause problems, take a look at source code).
Really simple to install.
One thing you aren't told is the icon should be 60x60 pixels.

Owner's reply
True, I forgot. Really, the icon must be at least 57x57 pixels (png 24 bits for better quality). But any larger size will also be effective because iPhone makes it 57x57 px automatically.
Thanks for your review.
