but, in my case (personnal siteweb and admin tabs), there is no button.
the only way is to put "document mode" = IE9 with Devloppment tools (F12).
that is absolutly not "user friendly".
I don't know why the "document mode" is wrong, but it can be forced with the code above.
according to me, it should be added in the theme of zenphoto and in the admin tabs.
You are welcome to make that change if you like. But we will leave Zenphoto browser neutral. CSS3 is not required to run Zenphoto's back end at all.
Zenphoto's back end uses css3 : the tabs have some border-radius description, and that is css3.
I think there is realy a problem with ZenPhoto and IE9.
But these are optical things which are absolutly not required for functionality at all. Older browser will also simply not see them. That's all.
(What is this frequenlty with IE and its extra ways anyway - I thought IE9 does it all better now....?).
Anyway, there certainly is NOT a problem with Zenpage and IE9. I have been using IE9 since its public beta with great results. I certainly do not know why your compatibility button seems hidden--perhaps because of the meta directive. But for me, and I supsect any one else who is using it, IE9 both works on the back end out of the box and has a button so that if you want it not to work you can so specify.
I thought that IE solve these css problems, but obviously it must be IE9 with the correct mode (you should modify them with F12, but that isn't user friendly).
after several trials, the addition of line
``, before the TITLE tags, solves the problem properly, without user actions.
it's a pitty that you want not add it to your themes and to the admin screens...
I have searched some sites with the zenpage theme, and some one works well and others not.
exemples :
- http://zenpage.maltem.de/
- http://pascal.ledisque.free.fr/gallery
on the 2nd one, doctype seems not to be accepted by default, unless you change de IE9 values.
I will create a ticket to give more explanations and give some screenshots.
Maybe the server indeed delivers something wrong. I can't answer.
The first example is my test site and it is just a plain 1.4.0.3 installation with a plain Zenpage theme. The 2nd is a modified Zenpage theme (and older Zenphoto release), so you can't really compare them.
I have done some attempts on my website, with plain 1.4.0.3 installation and official zenpage theme.
of course, it is difficult impossible to make crossbrowser websites and I am sure, that you works hard to have proper code.
but my impression is that you do not want to make a small correction which seems to fix the problem on IE9 which is the latest browser (I understand for IE6 or IE7).
Seems to me that IE9 still has problems with standards then (sorry, since ever I am doing websites IE is constantly annoying me...;-)). Since you say it apparently works on my test site it might be more a server issue (my test site is on quite standard shared host, really nothing that specific). I suggest to try a proper host as well (free.fr is maybe a little too "free", but I don't know it).
Additionally my collegue who is on Windows seems not able to reproduce this as he mentioned above.
Your ticket has been rejected. This is NOT a Zenphoto issue, it is a problem specific to your particular IE9 installation. We will NOT output browser specific headers. If your theme really requires CSS3 (as mentioned, Zenphoto and the Zenpage theme do not) then you have excluded the vast majority of browsers still in use and I suggest you place a prominent notice on your download page.
If you cannot live without these headers then create a plugin which attaches to the admin_head and theme_head filters and then output whatever you think you need.
