    SOLVED Stuck in IE7

    Posted 12 years 3 months ago
    • Hi,
      We did a website with Graffito for a client and we learned at the end that it has to be supported by IE7.
      Which other Joomla template would you recommend that would be solid in IE7?

      Also, what tool would you recommend to emulate the IE7 browser?

      Thanks!

    • You can remove IE7 limitation in Graffito template by editing the following file

      /templates/rt_graffito/features/ie7splash.php

      Find the following code
      if (JRequest::getString('tmpl')!='unsupported' && $gantry->browser->name == 'ie' && $gantry->browser->shortversion == '7') {

      Change it to (for example)
      if (JRequest::getString('tmpl')!='unsupported' && $gantry->browser->name == 'ie' && $gantry->browser->shortversion == '6') {

      That will remove IE7 limitation but you have to know that you will have to work with css to adjust it to IE7. Please don't ask for a support here regarding this part because it represents big customization and this forum can't provide such service 8)

    • Tho I have still a native ie7, mostly use the I devtools in ie9 to switch to ie7 mode.
      (I'm on mac using Parallels to run windows)
      But you can also use services like "sauce" ... works pretty good. They have a mac app but you can also use the web interface.

    • Hi Igor,
      Thanks for your quick reply.
      I totally understand the pain of IE7 and thank you for your suggestion. We will try that for now but I might just change the template for another template that it is supported in IE7.
      Thanks!

    • Hi Henning,
      I didn't realize that devtools could switch version.
      Thanks a lot!

    • It doesn't look too bad with Graffito in IE7. I'll need to do some more test and tweaks but I am pleasantly surprised :cheesy:
      Thanks guys!
