I am looking to either get my site working in IE6 or a way of letting our customers know to upgrade their browser.
This is a bit of a pain as our old site did work with it but the new one does not.
We are looking for a quick turn around on this.
If you are good with css or you know a quick fix please let me know.
Please send me a PM with the cost and I will PM the full site details.
Many Thanks
Paul
Even Microsoft and Google stopped supporting IE6. There is no serious designer and developer in this world who would contribute to extending IE6 life.
Check this site with IE6 (if you have it) - http://matevicentre.com/. If this is something that you could use, I could implement it in your site. Send me a PM if you're interested.

You should create a browser warning page telling the user to upgrade to a more modern web browser.
For example, have this in your template/common/header.tpl:
And use the following catalog/controller/common/bad_browser.php:
With the following template/common/bad_browser.tpl:
And the following catalog/language/english/common/bad_browser.php:
Then, if a user attempts to access your site using IE6, he will get something like this:
For example, have this in your template/common/header.tpl:
Code: Select all
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=index.php?route=common/bad_browser">
<![endif]-->Code: Select all
<?php
class ControllerCommonBadBrowser extends Controller {
public function index() {
$this->language->load('common/bad_browser');
$this->document->title = $this->config->get('config_title');
$this->document->description = $this->config->get('config_meta_description');
$this->data['title'] = $this->language->get('title');
$this->data['text_warning'] = $this->language->get('text_warning');
$this->data['links'] = $this->language->get('links');
if (file_exists(DIR_TEMPLATE . $this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/common/bad_browser.tpl')) {
$this->template = $this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/common/bad_browser.tpl';
} else {
$this->template = 'default/template/common/bad_browser.tpl';
}
$this->children = array();
$this->response->setOutput($this->render(TRUE), $this->config->get('config_compression'));
}
}

C'mon people, get back to reality!

Yeah, I am getting the same problem. I'm guessing JNeuhoff wrote the script 1.5.0. Im using 1.5.1.3 and it throws a database error: Fatal error: Cannot access private property Document::$title in /home/content/87/7899187/html/catalog/controller/common/bad_browser.php on line 5
Please keep in mind that I.E. 6 is dead, unless you live in China, where we do a huge portion of our sales (imagine that, and American company selling to China /pwnge). When Microsoft is dead, maybe we can consider ignoring the IE6 warning screens. Until then we should continue to alert those forced to use IE6 which I am sure are several million people.
I will hack at this until my boss screams to see how far I can get. Then it will be up to others better than I at OC.
