I could really use some hints or tips as to how to diagnose this problem with Internet Explorer and Gallery.

This only happens in Internet Explorer (7) and not in Firefox (3.0), the theme disappears after clicking on an item or album. In Firefox everything works kewl. The sidebars work great, image blocks display correctly though after clicking on the images the theme disappears in IE7.

It started when I was using Garland so I tried a few other themes and still have the same issue of the theme dropping out when using Internet Explorer to view the items or albums.

Gallery2 does not have this problem in the standalone site.

Gallery2 Standalone Location:
http://www.handymanreality.com/gallery2/main.php

Drupal 6.10
Gallery 6.x-1.0
Gallery Addon 6.x-1.x-dev (2008-Jun-09)

Gallery location Settings are:
Gallery2 URL or URI: http://www.handymanreality.com/gallery2/
Gallery2 filesystem path: /home/XXXXXX/public_html/gallery2/
Embed URI: /index.php?q=gallery
Gallery base: gallery

Url Rewrite Settings:
Public path to your .htaccess file: /
Filesystem path to your .htaccess file: /home/XXXXX/public_html/

If anyone has any ideas of how to fix this problem or even what to do to diagnose the issue I would surely appreciate it. I have the devel module installed and I have the IE developer bar too!

I could really use a hint or tip as to how to diagnose this problem I am having with Internet Explorer dropping my theme out when I view an item or album in my gallery module for Menalto Gallery2.

Pretty Please! With sugar on top?

I'm starting to think that this is a cookie issue between my drupal 6.10 site and my menalto gallery2 2.3.

I have been looking at the cookies generated by using the web developer toolbar extension in firefox 3.0 and I am finding that I have cookies both with and without the www for my domain. I'm wondering if this may be the reason that I cannot view items or albums in my drupal theme. Yet everything works well in my standalone gallery2

I know that in the variables table for drupal that my cookie domain is set to .mydomain.com and the same setting is in my gallery2 administration. I did at one time have the www set on one of the domain cookie settings I just cannot remember which it was. (I have already tried using devel to reinstall the dhtml menu and I still have the cookie just as it was)

The offending cookies are:
(cookies have the www attached while the variable is set without the www)

  • has_js with a value of 1
  • dhtml_menu with a value of _menu-11

At the moment I have not found where to change these settings and I really believe that they may be the exact problem because when my I try to view an item or album in IE I am actually 'no longer logged in' and my theme for drupal disappears.

Anyone have any comments or feel that I may be on the right path to a solution, well, I would appreciate the support.
Got any idea of where I can go to change these cookie settings? I haven't the faintest where the 'has_js' is coming from, do you?

I'm having the exact same issue. Theme works perfectly in all browsers but IE in the gallery only, any other drupal pages are just fine. At one point I saw that the item page iteself was showing up fully themed with no issues at all, this all broke when i made some changes to my sidebar menus (i think).

As far as the cookie issue, i think i saw some settings in the general section of the gallery install, you can also get to it from the gallery2 module settings. I played with the settings, so far the theme still gets stripped from my gallery pages.

I'm not sure if this may help you, but I think my issue could possibly be related to the 31 css file limitation in IE, I just came across this bit of info, so hopefully it will lead me in the correct direction. I'm no web developer so i'm guessing some more seasoned people could help out.
