Including IE7 in the IE6 warning plugin

Posted 14 years 1 month ago
- Is it possible to extend the IE6 warning to include IE7 as well...I am not a fan of IE7 and the problems I am continually ironing out with margins etc.
  
  Ideally I would like to have the IE6 warning to also come up when an IE7 user logs on to the site. Where can I change this?
  
  Cheers,
  
  Andy

- I need this feature too and changed in ie6warn.php the line
  
  if ($gantry->browser->name == 'ie' && $gantry->browser->shortversion == '6'))
  
  to
  
  if ($gantry->browser->name == 'ie' && ($gantry->browser->shortversion == '6' || $gantry->browser->shortversion == '7'))
  
  but it does not work for IE7.
  
  Please help.

- Since there is no help from RT I use now a solution from Microsoft:
  
  <script src="http://www.microsoft.com/germany/msdn/components/ie/ieinfobar.js" type="text/javascript">  </script>
  
  The code has to be implemented after the <body> tag and work fine for me.

- I decided just to target all IE versions. It's my stand against crapness!
  
  Make this:
  
  if (JRequest::getString('tmpl')!='unsupported' && $gantry->browser->name == 'ie' && $gantry->browser->shortversion == '6') {
  header("Location: ".$gantry->baseUrl."?tmpl=unsupported");
  }
  
  Look like this:
  
  if (JRequest::getString('tmpl')!='unsupported' && $gantry->browser->name == 'ie') {
  header("Location: ".$gantry->baseUrl."?tmpl=unsupported");
  }
- Cheers,
  Mr Toast says... keep toasting!

- function init() {
  global $gantry;
  
  if (JRequest::getString('tmpl')!='unsupported' && $gantry->browser->name == 'ie' && ($gantry->browser->shortversion == '6' || $gantry->browser->shortversion == '7') ) {
  header("Location: ".$gantry->baseUrl."?tmpl=unsupported");
  }
  }
  
  would target ie7 and ie6.
  
  I believe the error the Peter made was to test it on
  someurl/?tmpl=unsupported
  But you have to test it on
  someurl/

- With the Kirigami template, where would I find the ie6warn.php file to make the modification?

- I think Kirigami has already included ie7 ... (check latest 1.2)?

- Thanks Henning for your reply.
  
  I installed version 1.2 of Kirigami, but am not seeing any kind of template warning when testing in IE7 (using IETester). I also can't find any unsupportedredirect.php file in the template's feature's folder.
