I have tried many of the twitter re-publish plugins. Most have this problem.
Whenever I try to tweet an article it wants to tweet this -
"RT @thecontel You are currently browsing this site with Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) http://ow.ly/1qG8ps"

However I am not using IE6. I have tried it with the latest versions of IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera on Windows and Mac.
I understand that this is not entirely a Gavick problem. However, how can I disable the IE6 warning? This may solve this issue.
Alternatively has someone found a similar plugin that works with this template?
Thanks - John

I also have been having the same problem - and not understanding.

From this page: http://www.nationalblackguide.com/art-a ... inment/art

if you click the tweet button next to the article - you get the IE6 message?

On your top menu - how do you make it so the lower sub-sections show when you mouse over the top entries?

Hey, thanks for the compliment. As far as the menu - I don't know how it did that, I think it may have been some conflict w/ another script??? At first I was trying to change it back and couldn't, now it's starting to grow on me.

Nice site of yours also well. Where did you get the "Most Read Tags" and "Back To Top" feature.

Thanks - hope we get a response for support soon!

Hi,

I tried disabling the IE6 alert - and clear cache - and still didn't work.

Hi

Ok. Try maby with this. Edit templates/gk_twn/index.php and replace the code:

Code: Select all
if($Template->settings["ie6info"] && $Template->IE6Detection())
{
   $Template->loadSkeleton("ie6");
}
else
{
   $Template->loadBlock("gk_wrapper");
}


with that:

Code: Select all
   $Template->loadBlock("gk_wrapper");

require_once('layouts/GKTemplate.php');

$Template = new GKTemplate($this);

$Template->loadBlock("gk_wrapper");

?>

Hi

That's odd. That was the only place where the checking was made. I gotta see it myself :) Please send me Joomla Panel access and ftp access to Your site.
