Themes

Hi Julian,

links work in IE6 if you add to the end of styles_ie6.css

*a{position:relative;}

and DO NOT add anything relative or z-index to tags before it in  styles_ie6.css.

Paths for images are another problem (blank.gif in iepngfix.htc and theme/funky/... in styles_ie6.css) if moodle is not installed to the webroot...

That can be fixed...it is an old bug of IE6 and IE5.5 on Windows and there are a couple of fixes that allow IE to properly render PNG alpha transparency. I have archieved one theme that has a small javascript for this purpose - if you need it Julian...

Thinking of those old browsers it could be also possible to have separate css for IE6 in styles_ie6.css (moodle 1.8->) or use gif images for old browsers. Using alpha filter (like any other filter) makes pages to load images a little slower but it might be the best solution.

Julian,

the fix that I sent before works but the main problem is not in IE - it is that your themes do not read meta tags at all. I made those two changes to theme funky styles_ie6.css, added styles_ie7.css and meta.php with styles_ie7 code, added to funky config.php (parent theme)

$THEME->metainclude = true;
$THEME->standardmetainclude = false;
$THEME->parentmetainclude = false;

and for other "children" of funky

$THEME->metainclude = false;
$THEME->standardmetainclude = false;
$THEME->parentmetainclude = true;

If moodle is not in web root, you must also change in styles_ie6.css paths /theme/ to "real paths like /moodle/theme/

Test with IE6 in http://korpelainen.net/moodle (theme selector). Attached changes.

Hi,

I have had a go at making sideblocks transparent. I have

.sideblock {
  margin-bottom: 7px;
  width: 100%;
  filter:alpha(opacity=70);
  -moz-opacity:.40;
  opacity:.40;
}

This works, however, any text or links also become slightly transparent too. How would I go about keeping them in full colour like in the funky themes?

Thanks,

Mike

Alex,

did you install the parent theme funky or just funky_red ? (parent theme must be installed)

Another explanation could be config.php (wrong wwwroot or dirroot or empty rows at the end of config.php). I have seen css broken in moodle 1.8 also when I edited moodlelib.php or some other lib files with notepad (editing with wordpad did not break the code)
