There is no internet explorer configuration settings listed at the bottom of the configuration page.
Any Ideas?
Comments
#1
They seem to be listed for me. Not quite sure why they wouldn't be for you. Are you getting any javascript errors? What browser are you using?
#2
no errors that I see, I am using latest version of FF, i.e. 8 safari, chrome- all the same.
#3
Can anyone else verify this issue? Do you have theme developer turned on? It's found in the devel module.
#4
no, its not an enabled module.
#5
sorry I can't reproduce. It's just a fieldset. Nothing crazy happening. Can you try uninstalling and reinstalling the module to see if that fixes the issue? Maybe upgrading to the dev version.
#6
i can disable the module but when i goto uninstall there is nothing listed. is disabling and then removing via ftp a uninstall method or?
#7
ok, so i disabled the 3 slideshow modules, slideshow, singleframe, hover... I removed the views_slideshow via ftp and uploaded the new 6x2xdev and the problem persists...
I also tried to create a new "view" and that did not help.
#8
I have attached a couple screenshots of my settings- I reverted back to the 1.0 version and the Interent explorer settings disappeared. But as soon as i update to 2.0 it is there with no settings under it.
#9
Any chance you can message me through my contact form with access to your site? Promise I won't pwned you ;) I just can't replicate this. Do you have firebug installed? If so can you check that fieldset area and see if the internet explorer fields are there just hidden?
You could workaround this issue by adding cleartype:true/false or cleartypenobg:true/false to advanced settings. You will need to apply this patch first http://drupal.org/node/632838#comment-2265562
#10
I added the patch and tried both different advanced settings, still no luck.
I will contact you. thanks for your support.
#11
Try both of them being false.
#12
tried that, now I do see a difference, now the images when scrolling never turn transparent. with the other setting the image would start transparent, then turn black to fade, then transparent, then black to fade, etc...
It seems as though perhaps a background color setting during the "fade" ?
Thanks again for your help!
#13
making active again.
#14
Seems like I'm facing the same problem as in #12. My half transparants images turn partly black during the fading in IE 8, 7 and 6 (all other browsers shows the slides perfectly). You can see an example her http://d6.auroralabs.no/k/exolo/bli_medlem (EDIT: I changed from transparent PNGs to GIFs so you can't really see the problem anymore. However the GIF quality is horrible so I still really would like to get it to work with PNG)
IE settings are:
ClearType: false
ClearType Background: true
Tried (with no visible change) ClearType: false and ClearTypeBackground: false
ClearType: true and ClearTypeBackground: false
Would it help making the images in GIF?
#15
To answer my last question "Would it help making the images in GIF", well, I tried and it actually helps. I don't have any problems with transperant gifs. Seems like this problem only occur with png.
#16
Subscribing.
#17
Regarding #14, the black flickering when fading transparent PNG in IE7+ (which perhaps should be a separate issue?); I worked around this by setting a background to
.views_slideshow_singleframe_slide, that is the div that fades.It's not a good solution since sometimes you need that element to have no background, but at least in my case it worked.
I tried some other suggested methods (like this one) but it didn't work for me (or I wasn't able to apply it correctly).
#18
marking as critical to look at before release.
#19
I have this working on many different sites and it is working for me. I going to mark as won't fix. If someone can give me a test site that they can see it happening on then please post it here and make this active again.
#20
Here's a page where this happens: http://test.higrandhaven.com/
Ie8/7 both show a black border when transitioning. The light blue background is also transparent so the background image at the bottom can show through. I have a hunch that if the background behind the slideshow was a solid color and not a transparent PNG then it would work properly. No combination of IE settings has been able to remove the black transition.
Setting this got rid of the black on transitions but I don't really want to resort to setting a background color to the slideshow:
.views_slideshow_singleframe_slide{background: #FFFFFF;
}
I'll leave this test site as-is for a little while but I might end up just adding a bg color to the slideshow after a few days if this doesn't get fixed.
#21
It looks like this is a problem for everyone who uses the jquery cycle plugin. I haven't found a proper fix for this. So I think the only option left is to use gifs unfortunately.
#22
There is a jquery png fix: http://jquery.andreaseberhard.de/pngFix/
This fixed this problem for me. I have attached the file, remove the txt extension and include the file. Bingo.
#23
I have this same issue = using PNG files in the Views slideshow causes a strange bold outline around the images during the Views slideshow transition. I added the jquery.pngFix.js file but it did not solve the issue.
Any other suggestions? Adding GIFs is not an option since the image quality is so much poorer compared to using PNG.
