IE6 redirection works... with IE8

Hello,

I've got a problem with IE6 redirection. Indeed, Memovie redirects even with IE8. I'm trying to solve it but can't find a solution.

Second question : is it possible to disconnect this redirection ?

I'm still searching anyway...

Thanks for your help.

Best,

Phil

Hi,

Best,

I have visit your website with IE8 and IE7 compatible view.
All is working well, so it seams that it's from your computer or version of IE8.

Cheers

Sorry but it doesn't work on several computers.

Can you explain me how to disconnect this warning please ?

Best,

Phil

I had the same issue, but with Firefox!!

How can I disable this.

Have you changed your user agent ? or you're using some specific firefox extensions which can do this ?

Hello,

If you don't have a solution, can you tell us how to disable the redirection please ?

Thanks,

Phil

Please! inform us how to disable the ie6 warning.

I have the same problem. People with IE cannot see the site

Got the same problem. A page saying I am using IE6. I am not. I have IE8. So, I cannot see the templates at Gavick-site.

Hi

Please try opening the following file:

../gk_memovie/layouts/blocks/head.php

and find this lines:

Code: Select all

<?php if ($this->isIE()) :  ?>
<link href="<?php echo $this->templateurl(); ?>/css/ie.php" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<?php endif; ?>

replace it with

Code: Select all

<?php if ($this->isIE()) :  ?>
<link href="<?php echo $this->templateurl(); ?>/css/ie.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<?php endif; ?>


I am not talking about an own site, I am talking about YOUR (gavick.com) site. I am trying to click on DEMO or TEMPLATES and all I get is a redirection. On this page, the forum, is a a link that says Demo! But I cannot go there.

The template does not work with IE8 too on my notebook. I am running ie 8 @ 64bit. Is that the reason why its not working? I couldn't locate your code in my head.php.

It works with a 32bit IE8 but not IE8 64bit. I tried it on a desktop which is 32bit and it worked.

Even with the changes in head.php code the site does nnot open in IE. A big bug I have to say.

I´ve tried to open in other computers and it´s the same

I aslo visited the site, and the only thing I see is a redirection to windows update.

Hi

I have send this problem to our programmer.

It is a little bit strange, because I've visited mentioned websites and it works for me fine on IE8 64-bit, IE8 32-bit (both on Windows 7) and in IE8 on IE Tester app.

I've found this topic: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1582 ... -vista-why

Probably people with mentioned problem have some garbage in useragent.

So small fix which should help - please in file libs/gk.template.helper.php change function:

Code: Select all

   function isIE6 () {
      $msie='/msies(5.[5-9]|[6].[0-9]*).*(win)/i';
      return isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) &&
         preg_match($msie,$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) &&
         !preg_match('/opera/i',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
   }


for:

Code: Select all

   function isIE6 () {
      $msie='/msies(5.[5-9]|[6].[0-9]*).*(win)/i';
                $notIE6 = '/msies([7-9].[0-9]*).*(win)/i';
      return isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) &&
         preg_match($msie,$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) &&
                        !preg_match($notIE6,$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) &&
         !preg_match('/opera/i',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
   }


Please feedback if it works (especially please tell me if in IE6 page shows information about upgrade and works normally in IE7/IE8).

I get the same problem as him when looking at your demo. I use Win 7 + IE 8 and get the alert prompting me to upgrade from IE6 (which I don't have).

The only way I could view the demo was to use FF. That's fine for me, but I imagine I site would lose traffic over it. In all fairness, this is not the only time I have encountered the problem. I have seen several Joomla sites that tell me I need to upgrade to IE8 when I already have the most current version. I think it is a problem that is bigger than this template.

I still cannot see the Memovie in action. Curious to see it (working).

I have tested on one pc that add this problem with IE8 and after changing the code provided on../libs/gk.template.helper.php and clean up all cache on ie, now it works perfectly.

Please don't forget to clear cache, if still doesn't works.

Cheers

I have cleared the IE cache. I still can't see your demo.
