This was the easiest installation I ever did on my virtual Server (FreeBSD)!!!

Import of the old databases worked fine.

Only the category browser does not work with Explorer 5 (Mac-Version).

Congratulations, Lars

Ack! What happens? Do you get a javascript error? If so, can you tell me what it is?

Cheers,

Alex

Alex,

This is probably the same old bug. MSIE 5.0 didn't work on the PC either.

Hi,

This should be fixed in the beta? I had found the bug on IE5 and fixed it. The beta should work fine on IE5.

Cheers,

Alex

Well - seems you already know what´s going on.
When the frame that contains the browser is loading it only shows the home-directory (without the small arrow!)
Clicking on Home does not provoke anything

Hi alex,

I Had problems on install with the category broweser, it put the images in www.domain/images/

but the script tried to read /images/browser so i had to create a new directoy in FTP then move the images into this and all was OK.

Also i installed, Beta2 but my admin still says beta1. is this correct or an oversight on your part?

Regards

Hi,

Strange about the images, I'll have to look into this. If possible, can you try running install again, and see if the Unarchive ... part says the proper path?

As for the version number, this is a bug. The installer doesn't update your config file with the new version number.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi,

Does the demo work:

http://gossamer-threads.com/...l2/admin/browser.cgi

(Login is admin/admin).

Do you have a local copy setup? If so, can you edit line 1188 in browser.html:

The original looks like:

Code:
if (document.all) {
var ver = navigator.appVersion;
var ie55 = (ver.indexOf("MSIE 5.5") > -1) ? 1 : 0;
if (ie55) {
frames[LEFT_FRAME_ID].location.hash = node_id;
}
}
change it to:

Code:
if (document.all) {
var ver = navigator.appVersion;
var ie55 = (ver.indexOf("MSIE 5.5") > -1) ? 1 : 0;
if (ie55) {
alert ("Version: " + ver);
frames[LEFT_FRAME_ID].location.hash = node_id;
}
}
and see if you see an alert?

Cheers,

Alex
