Are you by any chance trying to install mydownloads rc1? I managed to make it work by reading this thread:
https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1037

Fix all the bugs mentioned in this thread. Also make sure to deactivate and uninstall the original mydownloads module (and delete the folder from your server).

I wasn't going to answer your post, but hey... I'm having fun

First of all I supposed that you would be able to read between the lines when I said 'everybody'. If I use 'omnipresent', would you then understand what I'm trying to say?

Secondly implementing standards isn't done overnight. Back in 1999, when IE5 was launched, all browsers had lacking support for css1 and css2 (up until today even the W3C 'browser' Amaya, doesn't fully support css2).

Thirdly, you may not be barring anyone, but UKDave is. When I said "you can do whatever you want" I wasn't refering to you barring anyone, but to you supporting UKDave's case (and of course you have the full right to do that).

Let me finish by providing this link:
http://www.google.be/search?q=browser+stats&num=100

Browser stats may not be 100% reliable, but they may give you a hint of what the average Joe is using. I'll stick with Opera though

It was nice discussing with you!

Ciao

As I said before, I am not a fan of IE, but I am realistic: everybody uses it so my site supports it (even ol' version 5). It's that simple. Of course you and UKDave can do whatever you want, but if everybody would do likewise the internet wouldn't be a friendly place.

Comparing NS 4 to IE5 would be wrong: NS4 launched in 1997, IE5 in 1999. Although both are dinosaurs, NS4 is a total nightmare with contemporary sites. It used to be good... in 1997. IE5 still has mediocre support for css and does a satisfiable job when rendering current websites (although there are better programmes available). Plus of course NS4 is used by less then 0.5% of all users (last time I checked) while IE5 is still widely spread.

Ciao!

Hi UKDave!

I'm a bit stumped by that superficial remark about browsers. Although I'm not a fan of IE5 (not even IE6), It is a reality that many surfers still use IE5 for browsing. Barring them from entering isn't good for your site, because it will cost you at least 25% users plus it will irritate a lot of surfers (even the non-IE5 users).

You are asking us to go back to the time of the big rivalry between Netscape and IE, where hobbyist web designers would block certain web browsers because they just felt like it.

The internet is an open medium and websites should be accessible to everyone up to some point. Your theme can be made IE5-ready btw. I read some posts about it on this site.

Ciao!

Fonts render too big in IE5 - possible solution

Hi everyone!

I had this css problem in XOOPS where fonts would render too big in the control panel and in some themes when using IE5. I searched xoops.org and found quite a few people struggling with this problem. I also found zero answers to solve the problem.

After some dabbling I found a fairly simple fix to fonts rendering too big in the control panel:
just add this code in modules\system\style.css

td
{
font-size: 11px;
}

Fonts in the control panel will now render the right size when using IE5 (in this case 11px).

This simple solution could help you when debugging themes that have problems with IE5. I haven't checked it though cos my theme is IE5 compliant

Ciao!

I already checked the file containing the function. I changed some stuff, but maybe I overlooked something. I will check again with smarty debug enabled.

Thanks for the tips! I'll keep you posted!

Of course I made it the default template set. How else would I notice the changes I make to the template

Everything is in place: I have a cloned template set that is the default, I made the changes through the template manager, I have seen how the changes affect the module (the alt tag becomes empty)... I have made numerous changes with the template manager to other modules and never get any problems. This is NOT a problem of templates, dear svaha. Maybe you should change that lovely sig of yours

Anyway enough teasing. Maybe one of the developers of this module can help out? I just want to change the Alt tag of the buttons from the button url to the button title. Simply changing "partner.url" into "partner.title" in the template doesn't seem to work.

Hope someone can help.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do! The code you mention is described in my first post. You're talking about line 40 in xoopspartners_block_site.html. I changed the alt tag from "partner.url" to "partner.title", but XOOPS doesn't grab the title data from the database.

Replacing the "partner.url" code by a simple description isn't of any use, because then the alt tags of all buttons would have the same text (like you mentioned correctly).

PS: I make all changes from a clone template set in the Template Manager. All changes I make are updated immediately so that can't be the problem.

Changing Alt tag in Partners module

Hi all!

I'm making my site more accessible for blind and sight impaired visitors. I want to find a way to change the Alt tag in the block in the Partners module from the button link to the button 'title' (which you have to specify anyway in the admin menu).

I tried editing xoopspartners_block_site.html in the template manager:

on line 40 I changed

alt="<{$partner.url}>

into

alt="<{$partner.title}>

Nothing happens though. I also found an entry about this in index.php on line 72, but changing that didn't solve the problem. All I get is an empty Alt tag.

Can anyone help out?

Ciao

Jay Jay
