| [epf-dev] RE: EPF Wiki 1.5 release candidate |
|
Hi, I got some great feedback already including some feedback on the
cross browser compatibility of the new toolbar, which troubled me enough to do
some extra research. I focused on MSIE and FireFox on Windows and Linux
and tested the rendering of pages framed (with tree navigator and banner) and
unframed. I attached the results (zip files with screenshots) of rendering
to my bugzilla for this https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=240279. Text of the bugzilla is below. Thanks and Regards, Onno All
tested FireFox version render the toolbar ok. IE is not ok: 1) PNG transparancy
only works from msie7.0 upwards 2) positioning in IE is a little bit
off (lower) causing extra whitespace. The
positioning issue can be fixed with CSS hacks. I propose we don't fix the PNG
transparancy issue as this is a bug in IE and will be solved as users upgrade
to more recent versions of IE. First

der Hi all, I use the
contents of CVS to do a daily deployment to my own server. If you are interested
to see the results live, you can find them here http://dailybuild.epfwiki.net.
The server is rebuild every day at 12:30 to 13:30 GMT so you will not be able
to access around that time. A few test
accounts are created: You can also
sign up if you want, email is configured on that server. If you don't, if
multiple users logon using the same account and start making changes, it can
lead to strange results, but maybe you are lucky. I receive
detailed error reports from that server, so if you play around with it and
something is not working as it should, it will be useful input for me. If you want
to install this yourself, you can download the build and there is a
installation guide for Windows. Excluding time for downloading the components,
it takes a little more than half an hour to install yourself. I am not
finished with the installation guide for Linux, which is the preferred platform
for EPF Wiki. For those
who are interested in de development bit, there is also a development guide http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/EPF_Wiki_Development_Guide Best
