var jQuery = jQuery.noConflict();


is unnecessary - and is where the problem is being reported.

that line should be

jQuery.noConflict();


Which makes the delimiter jQuery without assigning it to a var.

Also - pagetracker/analytics stuff should be in your footer, not in the header.

Removing prototype from the header got rid of the big error - now we just have to figure out what is messing with jQuery.

Is the smartpartner block on the same page as MyTab?

I wonder if they could be clashing?

hm, i dont know wheter this is ok thath way, but there are many scripts loaded on the start page.
i found no way to post the code here, but there are 5 scripts loaded.
for bookmarks, mytabs, googleanalytics ga.js, xoops.js and link external.js.

the pagesource shows it, but i couldnt paste it in code xoopscode.
i couldnt see wheter this makes it load jquery multiple times.

what i noticed befor i installed mytabs was that the smartpartner scrolling block wont scroll too smooth on osx and debian firefox, but does(on a little wrong place) very smooth on ff in xp.
i know from other sides that this scrolling block is shown as it should on other sites, so i guess there could be a problem too.

i'll tell when i found something and am happy for any idea on this.
thank you!

thank you for the tip!
i deleted the 3 files, but it didnt change the mytabs prblem in ie.
i will downgrade it to 2.1 again and see.
xigg needs prototype and scriptaculous to make the comment effects(one to show the - and + symbols, one to make the opening and close slide). neverthenless, i deleted the 2 files and enabled them directly inside xigg, it has prototype and scriptaculous as a plugin.
i think projax waxsnt used until now.

i will tell how it worked

Open up your preload folder and delete the following files.

prototype.php
scriptaculous.php
projax.php

Re: MyTabs works not with IE8

Mytabs use custom javascript along with jquery. It does not use prototype. Please check if you are loading 2 different jquery versions in same page because that can cause problems. Version running in xuups.com is 2.2 and is not available for download(not finished yet).

Let me clarify something real quick.

The module itself still works fine - this is just a conflict in the JS - and it looks like it isn't even dependent on prototype.

I just downloaded 2.1 - and it is a DHTML script from dynamic drive - if you go to xuups prototype isn't even called on the page.

So - I would imagine that the issue is not because the module needs prototype - but because prototype is loaded, it is really hard to say without seeing the page on which the error is occurring - I went to xuups.com just now and ran IE8 in every mode available, and couldn't produce any errors whatsoever. I went to addons, and the same thing - no errors in any mode in IE.

I could probably tell you what the problem is and give you a solution if I happened upon a website that was having the issue.

I could have sworn that the module REQUIRED prototype - but it apparently does not. So sorry that I created some confusion on that subject.

give me a url where you get the error and I will look.

hmm, i wish there was something like a compatibility bridge to support the other modules too, maybe this could be something static in a upgraded Frameworks expansionpack? like it's needed for the News Module and CBB. maybe this could provide to fill "generally xoops" based code gaps. then, ImpressCMS wouldn't be innovative only but also extremly versatile one could have a super performed IPF-Modules only setup, but also mix in some of the many many modules around. maybe it could stay compatible with 2.0.x modules, i just thought because it's based on 0.18 i guess.

i don't know if it would be a too exhausting and/or unreliable thing to do.
neverthenless, i'm definitely happy to make my site run on 1.2 and i'm sure there is a very good way to do it.

Would be interesting to see what's required to get it to work for anyone that does want to use the module.

Agreed, if anything - you should be upgrading older browsers to be MORE like IE8, (IE8.js)

and I will reiterate this again in case it was overlooked.

IF you plan on using 1.2 - you will need to either rewrite mytabs using jQuery (which Trabis may be doing anyway - but as he is X lead dev I am hesitant to expect an ICMS compatibility release) or give up mytabs all together.

Prototype and jQuery that is not in Compatibility mode will simply not work.

For that matter pretty much any raw combinations of javascript libraries will fail epically, with some obvious exceptions.

Re: MyTabs works not with IE8

Forget IE8 compatibility view. IE8 is now nearer Firefox than IE7, but their Javascript engine remains the same. Use IE8 in IE8 mode. trying to downgrade IE8 to a lesser browser is not a good idea.

IE8 is compatible enough with standards to let you find a common approach that works on IE8, Firefox and Chrome without having to use this nasty compatibility mode.

yes, s*** ie.
adding this "compatibility"

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
line to the theme.html head section did not do it.

are there other good ways to dynamically channel blockscontent together for a startpage overview area?
(i'll see if the whatsnew module could do it.)

hmm
so this works with 2.0.18 then??
could i work around this somehow to make it handle the mytabs like it?

thank you!

Fortunately, Microsoft also added a "Compatibility View" feature to IE8 that forces IE8 to behave more like IE7—that is, to be compatible with the millions of web pages that were tested against IE7 but now break under IE8. Unfortunately, they did not make Compatibility View the default. In other words, the default is non-compatibility. (Silly.)



My experience with this is that it should be called 'incompatibility view'. It breaks IE8 on my site when older versions actually worked fine.

Damn you Microsoft! 2 more browsers to support in a single release. Arghh!!!!

@thomas - Also, be sure the site you are talking about is indeed an ICMS site - because I think the one you have in mind is not.

thank you for the infos and the good tip with the selfmade tabs!
to some degree it's really bad news to me thou, but i am really happy that there seems to be a way to work around this as i read in Mr.Themes new thread here.

what i'm curious about thou is how it could be that it works with thomas' installation.
@thomas: do you have a special modified version, or did you adjust something yourself? are you really sure it works, and if so, could you maybe share a download to let me test wheter yours works here too then?

thank you!!

Re: MyTabs works not with IE8

MyTabs is overkill for such a simple effect. Making tabs is not that difficult. You can either use a jQuery plugin, or check Mr. Theme's tutorial, which doesn't require plugins and it's the approach that less code uses.

Sure, but once 1.2 comes out - it will not.

The core uses jQuery
Mytabs uses prototype

Result = Mytabs will fail epically in ICMS

Re: MyTabs works not with IE8

This is strange... I am using my tabs v2 and it works fine in IE8 not one person has complained about it not working. Trust me these people would be all over my arse if it didn't work in IE8.

Mine work fine...
