No-JS PNG Solution

[BigFishPhilip]

Hello All,

Just started trying out CMSMS and am most impressed so far!  Thanks a ton for the work so far.  I had to implement a good PNG fix so I thought I might as well document it.  It's based on Justin Koivisto's technique at http://koivi.com/ie-png-transparency/.  I won't repeat what he says, just a quick checklist of what worked for me with CMSMS...

1. Create the replacePngTags.php.
2. Use the FileManager to upload the file to your server.
3. Create a User Defined Tag called "ob_start" and paste this into it...

Code: Select all

ob_start();

4. Create another User Defined Tag called "replacePngTags" and paste this into it...

Code: Select all

include_once 'uploads/(some folder?)/replacePngTags.php';
echo replacePngTags(ob_get_clean());

5. Edit you template(s) and place "{ob_start}" at the very top (before ) and "{replacePngTags}" at the very bottom (after .

This worked for me anyway.  Remember to follow what Justin says, background images must be declared inline and so on.

Happy Coding,
Philip

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna try this one out later. I have been looking for a way to implement Transparency for a while now.

Not sure what you mean? what does PNG Transparency have to do with Google Maps?
