Browser compatibility Issues

Post by wakewatcher »

I've got a recurring issue. (Actually probably not recurring but outstanding.) I thought I had this fixed. http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... =7&t=65361 but apparently not. I thought it was related to the FEU module but now I'm wondering if it is a general issue. You can see the behaviour on this screencast http://screencast.com/t/nBZ2bMyv.

As mentioned in that post I thought it went away when I added the line to the config.php file. (At least it exhibited that it went away on my machine.) However now I'm thinking it went away because, as instructed, I cleared the cache when I edited the config.php file.

But A few days ago I got contacted by one of my users describing the same problem as shown in the screencast. Sure enough when I went and tried using IE I had the same problem as well. When I cleared the cache then the problem went away FOR ME. But he was still having the same problem after I cleared the cache. Our versions of IE are same.

I then tried it on my work office machine and I'm having the same problem as he is. At work I fired up admin and cleared the cache and no joy on IE. But as the screencast shows the (feu) table registers that I've logged in I (we) just don't get the 'signout' page (normally replaces the login page) AND the protected content does not become visible despite being logged in. (I also looked at other tables but really didn't know what I was looking for to see if something else needed to change to make the protected content visisble.)

[THINKING OUT LOUD MODE ON]
I'm trying to think this through. I would have thought that if this was an feu module issue then perhaps just the signout page would not appear but since the the protected content tab doesn't display then I'm thinking it is more general in nature. As I assume that if feu knows enough to note me logged in to the feuser_loggedin table that it does whatever else would be necessary to display the protected content tab. (As an aside of course the logged in user, me, is in the group that has access to the protected content.)

This just seems weird. First of all since there is such a drastic difference in browser behaviour (even the same version of the same browser) and not just some css sort of thing. Secondly if it didn't register in the loggedin table then I could better accept/understand that it might be some html form not getting passed back properly.

I have of course have not touched any cmsms source code. (Other than the config.php file)

Anyone seen this before or can point me in some direction so I can dig deeper?

FEUMailer hasn't been upgraded in a while, you may want to go thru all your modules to make sure they are compatible with the latest CMSMS...

Thanks. Let me add that this cmsms instance was a virgin install on 2/14 and I used the module manager to install all the modules during the week or so that followed. I'm assuming the module manager is picking up the latest modules. Right?

Oh. Thanks for the tip. I uninstalled FEUMailer and it didn't make any difference to this behavior. Incidentally how would one check if they are compatible with the latest CMSMS? thx.
