I'm happy with my username, and don't intend to wirite to the DB directly, that makes it way way to easy to break things. I might do some reading to get stat at some stage but I'll let you know before I try anything and I'm not ready for that yet. I need to look at the tables and how they are indexed etc. before I try anything.

I'll have to try IE 6 tomorrow. I don't have a computer at home with it installed. There are lots of CSS bugs in older versions of IE ( ie pre IE 7 ) so I'm guessing it is the result of one of these, but they are well documented so I should be able to find something.

Hi Reborg,

I "fixed the problem" by modifying the user.module (not a very clean way):

Adding this code:

Code:

 $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';

After this code in user.module:

Code:

function theme_user_profile($account, $fields) {
  $output = '<div class="profile">';
  $output .= theme('user_picture', $account);
  foreach ($fields as $category => $items) {
    if (strlen($category) > 0) {
      $output .= '<h2 class="title">'. $category .'</h2>';
    }
    $output .= '<dl>';
    foreach ($items as $item) {
      if (isset($item['title'])) {
        $output .= '<dt class="'. $item['class'] .'">'. $item['title'] .'</dt>';
      }
      $output .= '<dd class="'. $item['class'] .'">'. $item['value'] .'</dd>';
    }
    $output .= '</dl>';
  }
  $output .= '</div>';

To read:

Code:

function theme_user_profile($account, $fields) {
  $output = '<div class="profile">';
  $output .= theme('user_picture', $account);
  foreach ($fields as $category => $items) {
    if (strlen($category) > 0) {
      $output .= '<h2 class="title">'. $category .'</h2>';
    }
    $output .= '<dl>';
    foreach ($items as $item) {
      if (isset($item['title'])) {
        $output .= '<dt class="'. $item['class'] .'">'. $item['title'] .'</dt>';
      }
      $output .= '<dd class="'. $item['class'] .'">'. $item['value'] .'</dd>';
    }
    $output .= '</dl>';
  }
  $output .= '</div>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';
  $output .= '<br>';

  return $output;
}

Of course, my "fix" is not a good way to do it, LOL.... for obvious reasons (other modules like search.module).... more importantly, theme info should not be in modules.

A CSS or template fix is preferred....

I think it might be better not to worry about IE6, considering all the CSS bugs.

What do you think?

reborg · #19 02-04-2007

If I can figure out a workaround that works for all it would be good. There are a lot of people still using IE 6, especially in controlled corporate desktop land. It should be possible, and will probably just be a case of getting a "display: inline;" in the right place.

Neo · #20 02-05-2007

Good idea, but don't work too much for IE6 CSS.. since it is so buggy and does not support the full CSS standard.

I updated to IE7, and wish I did not! IE6 was faster and cleaner.... anyway, I mostly use Firefox these days.

reborg · #21 02-05-2007

I have to say I felt the same, but the "Updates are ready for your system" message was more annoying than the change. I quite like netscape 8, and it can use the IE rendering engine for those badly designed websites.
