Per-Browser Specific Control - Joomla 1.6/1.7 - Internet Exp

Posted 13 years 8 months ago
- I am trying to add a stylesheet for various versions of IE, using the standard template provided with Gantry (just upgraded to latest version 3.2. on Joomla 1.7, there is a stylesheet already called template-ie7.css, and I have added template-ie8.css and template-ie9.css to test
  
  Seems correct as on www.gantry-framework.org/documentation/j...ser-specific-control
  
  They are in templates/rt_gantry_j16/css
  
  However IE does not seem to be loading them in, one site is here
  
  startersite.code7webdesign.co.uk/
  
  startersite.code7webdesign.co.uk/templat...css/template-ie9.css
  
  I have tested in native versions of IE, on different PCS and also Virtual machines, this works fine on my Joomla 1.5 installs

- Hi code7,
  if you are a member of the joomla template club, then take a look at the maelstrom template files.
  If I recall correctly this template has several style sheet files for ie6-ie9 and other browsers.

- Hi
  
  We just use the Gantry framework and make our own templates, it does have style sheets for IE but they do not work.
  
  Is this not a support forum for paid members?

- Did you check the rownumbers of the background-color css statements in the following files:
  template.css or style1.css
  template-ie9.css
  (maybe gantry.css as well? - but don't change anything in there)
  
  It will always use the one that has the highest row number unless you make one important.
  So you can move the background color statements to a lower row number in the other files (the non ie9 ones) and/or use the !important option in the ie9 css file (check if the other files don't have important in them as well .

- If you check the source code in IE though the ie css file is not there, it works OK with Joomla 1.5

Hi there,

We tend to use the unanswered posts as our first port of call. Your post was answered so fell out of our queue without being addressed by a mod. Apologies.

I have checked the Gantry templates and the initial call is different to the club templates. Here is a sample of the extra code in the templates....

<?php
/**
 * @package Gantry Template Framework - RocketTheme
 * @version ${project.version} ${build_date}
 * @author RocketTheme http://www.rockettheme.com
 * @copyright Copyright (C) 2007 - ${copyright_year} RocketTheme, LLC

 *
 */
// no direct access
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted index access' );
 
// load and inititialize gantry class
require_once('lib/gantry/gantry.php');
$gantry->init();
 
function isBrowserCapable(){
     global $gantry;
     
     $browser = $gantry->browser;
     
     // ie.
     if ($browser->name == 'ie' && $browser->version < 8) return false;
     
     return true;
}
 
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

As you can see there is a call to check browser. Perhaps try inserting the extra code into your template and see if that works.

Hope this helps

- Hi David
  
  Thanks for reply, tried that and did not work, getting more info for you prompted me to look at the version of the template, although Gantry and Joomla updates this doesn't obviously, installed the newer version and all working OK!
  
  I was using rt_gantry_j16-3.2.4 and its now on rt_gantry_j16-3.2.8.
  
  Does not have that code you mentioned, looks like something to do with IE8 and below, maybe for css3 rendering?
  
  It is you guys who developed Gantry? We use it a lot....
  
  Thanks
