I located the source of the problem. The day and hours aren't displaying because the themeinfo.php files still contain %e for the day and %l for the hours. If you change the %e to %d and %l (small L) to %I (capital i), then it works fine on IIS. Small L isn't on the list of recognized specifiers. I'm surprised that one works for anyone. For your records, IIS recognizes all specifiers for the date function. It does NOT recognize these for strftime: %C, %D, %e, %g, %G, %h, %n, %r,%R, %t, %T, %u, and %V. Recommend a comment be added to the documentation telling IIS users to avoid them. The other ones work okay. On a different subject, the graphics for phpwiki look very professionally done. But...yes, I'm inserting a but here....some (not all) have a gray border around them in IE 6. They look great in NS 6, NS 4.7, and Opera 6 but IE doesn't render some of them correctly. I'm bringing this up because IE is the predominantly used browser today. About 90% of the people use it. Whatever the difference is now this browser doesn't like it. |

Thanks. I'm using a white background so yours will probably work okay. The test inline PNG images from the link you provided don't display correctly in IE6...as expected. I saw this the other day: http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/pngbehavior/pngbehavior.html Looks like there's a way to use AlphaImageLoader to force IE to display an image with alpha channels correctly. I haven't had the chance to play around with it yet. When I get some time after the holidays, I'll see if this really works or not. |

This looks like a very bad idea - or rather, it looks like a very non-standards-compliant way of writing (X)HTML. If we start using such workaround to fix the bugs in IE, then they'll never get proper support for PNG images. But this is of course a somewhat arrogant attitude, so you might still want to see what you can do with this AlphaImageLoader thingy... -- Martin Geisler My GnuPG Key: 0xF7F6B57B See http://gimpster.com/ and http://phpweather.net/ for: PHP Weather => Shows the current weather on your webpage and PHP Shell => A telnet-connection (almost :-) in a PHP page. |

The problem is,t that IE doesn't support full-blown transparency in PNG images, it just supports the 1-bit transparency we know from GIF images. The beautiful images shipped with PhpWiki uses transparency to blend into any background --- if you change your background color to blue (yuck! :-), then the edges of the images will remain anti-aliased. The W3 has some great pages where you can read about this defect in IE, such as this page where you can test your browser's ability to display PNG images with transparency: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/PNG/inline-alpha.html If it still bothers you that the images look strange, then you could remove the transparency from them, by blending them into a fixed background-color. If you're interested, then I've done that for a white background and put the result here: http://www.gimpster.com/downloads/phpwiki-icons-white/ If you need a different background-color, then let me know. -- Martin Geisler My GnuPG Key: 0xF7F6B57B See http://gimpster.com/ and http://phpweather.net/ for: PHP Weather => Shows the current weather on your webpage and PHP Shell => A telnet-connection (almost :-) in a PHP page. |
