Problems with a CMS site.

[Sy]

My home development system has no problems at all, having the latest versions of everything (PHP, MySQL, Apache, CMSMS 1.1.1 and SMF 1.3)

The server I'm uploading to is running very old versions of PHP without GD and ZLIB support (4.4), MySQL 3.x and Zeus instead of Apache.

So far I've found TinyMCE has no tool bars, I'm guessing this is due to lack of GD support, would this be the case?

The lack of ZLIB support prevents SMF packages from funcitoning.

I'm also experiencing CSS problems when using IE6 to view the pages,the drop down menus don't appear, these are based on the standard menus supplied with CMS.  They work fine in IE7, Firefox and Opera but not with IE6, they're are also several other CSS issues between IE6 and IE7 which I will try to fix with the help of a validator.

The site address is http://eskajrh.demonweb.co.uk

Any help would be greatly apprecieated.  If I can't get TinyMCE working without GD then I may have to find another host.

For the pulldown menu in IE6.

Do you have:

Code: Select all

<!--[if IE]>
<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="modules/MenuManager/CSSMenu.js"></__script>
<![endif]-->
{* The above JavaScript is required for CSSMenu to work in IE *}

just above the

I just checked, it isn't in they're....how strange, why wouldn't it be there?
What do I need to check or modify in order to ensure it gets put in?

This does work in IE7 and Firefox, why would it work for those without this file?

Thank you..

Sy,

IE7 is a little smarter then IE6, and acts more like FF.

I think that you could just copy those 4 lines above the in your template and see if IE6 works. IE7 probably doesn't really require these lines, but I'm not sure.

Hi, I've done as suggested and put the js file into the template.  Unfortunately I don't have IE6 at home, and won't be back at work until Monday, can anyone tell me if the drop down menus now work in IE6?

I figured out what was wrong with TinyMCE, it appears to be a problem with the Zeus web-server, the content of the $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] was not correct so the tinyconfig.php was not getting loaded properly, I changed this to be the correct document root and now it works.
