Introduction
Internet Explorer 6 is the plague of the Internet. Sure there are other battles, like net neutrality or censorship, but I think it's safe to say that IE6 has held back innovation more than anything else, because of its slow JavaScript engine, incorrect rendering of web pages, bad security, and more. At the time of this writing, Net Applications says 18% of Internet users still use Internet Explorer 6. Even worse, many sites have a much higher percentage of Internet Explorer 6 visitors.

Hi JBlaze, nice mod. I'd love to use it but my custom theme's index.template.php file does not have any "template_menu();" entry. Everything else seems fine.

Where should I put that block of code?

[JBlaze]

Thank you all for the comments

Can you attach your index.template so I can take a look?

Here you go JBlaze, thanks for your help.

Here you go JBlaze, thanks for your help.

Code (find) Select Expand

<div id="mainmenu">' , template_menu() , '</div>

Should work if you add after that. A link to your site can help so I can see how it is layed out.

Screen Shot? Sounds neat!

Screen Shot? Sounds neat!

I forgot to take them when I was testing and as such, have removed IE6 from my computer because I felt contaminated

I will, however, get them when I visit my friend as he has an old computer running IE6.

Cool, thanks JBlaze, I'll give it a shot and report back. As discussed before, I can't link you as my site is private. Always appreciate the help you give me here though!

Edit: not sure if this helps but I use the Mesh theme by Bloc, here's a link to the demo - http://www.tinyportal.net/demo/index.php?demo=mesh

That's pretty much how my forum looks (I have more boards though!).

Great mod! I have it installed and can see where I should be able to customize it. However the place has no text?

1.1.8 or 2.0?

[Antechinus]

Just tried this out for fun. Could do with a bit more oomph on the message IMO but it works. Screeny attached.

Seems like the stylesheet aint workin...

Hmmm...

[Antechinus]

Ok dude, you have a bug in the RC1 version. The call for the stylesheet is wrong.

Should be like this:

Code Select Expand

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['theme_url'], '/ie6mod2.css?rc1" />';

You had it calling ie6mod.css instead.

[Antechinus]

Here, new screeny. I changed the css a bit too but whatever. Looks good bold and centered IMO.

I used this:

Code Select Expand

/* A fake IE information bar */
#infobar {
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
}

[JBlaze]

Thanks Antechinus

Will update now.

[Antechinus]

Hang on, do this too:

Code Select Expand

#infobar a:hover {
color: #FFF;
background: #3169B6 url(../images/warning.gif) no-repeat center left;
cursor: pointer;
}

Teh cursor, bro. 

ETA: Whoopers. The warning image ist kaput also. Needs to be called as url(images/warning.gif) not url(../images/warning.gif)
The second is only correct if you are placing the stylesheet in the default/css folder. Doesn't work straight in default.
