I understand the template author was trying to create a unique template. The buggy ie6 warning really should have been left out of the template or should have encouraged use of one of the plug-ins. Some of us are not coders and get really frustrated when things don’t work right. We are looking for design ideas in the templates, let us choose the other options without forcing them upon us. When you start stuffing in features that are available as optional plug-ins, you just add more ways for something to go wrong.

Removed from ja_kyanitelayoutsdefault.php
<?php if ($this->isIE6()) : ?>
<?php $this->loadBlock(‘ie6/ie6warning’) ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Removed “you are here” from ja_kyanitelayoutsblockstopsl.php
<strong><?php echo JText::_(‘You are here’)?></strong>

Changed ja_kyanite/css/ie.css – kept wrapper for future use
from
*html #ja-wrapper { margin-top: 205px; }
to
*html #ja-wrapper { margin-top: 0px; }

Removed from ja_kyanitelayoutsblockshead.php
<?php if ($this->isIE6()) : ?>
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php echo $this->templateurl(); ?>/css/ie6warning.css” type=”text/css” />
<?php endif; ?>

Removed now unused isIE6 function from ja_kyanitelibsja.template.helper.php

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’]); }

Brent,

Thank you for your comments on the IE6 Warning.

I, too, see this as an issue with my sites, but it appears to be something in my local configuration that is setting it off…because everytime I complain about it, none of my Joomlart colleagues can replicate it and think I’m crazy.

For me, any template using T3 throws the IE6 Warning up constantly…and so I do what you’ve done and go in and delete the IE6 check first thing.

To be honest…as we enter the new decade, I think it’s time we just turn our sites away from IE6 altogether. After all, Microsoft did last year. Less than one percent of my viewers come in with an IE6 anyway.

Happy Holidays, Brent!
John.
