I´ve just checked all modules of the TYPO3 4.5 Backend (web3, playground installation) in IE6 and detected some problems. Some of them could be solved by CSS but most of them are bugs regarding functionality.

CSS issues

  • _Background images_´ (Sprite) transparency is not displayed correct
  • News admin: the area that contains the News Categories is too small and generates scroll bars. Just the text contents can be scrolled, the icons stay in their original position

Other

  • Several actions (clicking the pagetree or create/ edit buttons in the mainframe) cause database errors (e.g. Page and List Module)
  • Sometimes Context Menues (after click on pagetree icons) don´t appear
  • The Workspace Module is unusable: after Clicking the Module, the pagetree appears but the main content frame stays blank
  • Filelist: File upload is unusable. After submitting the upload form, the first field dis cleared, the second already filled, but no data is sent

Performance

  • The performance of the backend is very very bad. Page loading takes more than 12sec – testing the whole backend took me hours!

Thanks, Raphael!

  • _Background images_´ (Sprite) transparency is not displayed correct

known and intended (as the gif files are automatically generated as fallback for IE6)

  • News admin: the area that contains the News Categories is too small and generates scroll bars. Just the text contents can be scrolled, the icons stay in their original position

not a core issue

  • Several actions (clicking the pagetree or create/ edit buttons in the mainframe) cause database errors (e.g. Page and List Module)

that's a problem of the server, will talk to Ernesto, why this happens pretty often

  • Sometimes Context Menues (after click on pagetree icons) don´t appear

I think that's also the problem, when the request ends up in a server error.

  • The Workspace Module is unusable: after Clicking the Module, the pagetree appears but the main content frame stays blank

that's pretty important! however for me it just worked, already it looks unusable and the entries are not expandable.

  • Filelist: File upload is unusable. After submitting the upload form, the first field dis cleared, the second already filled, but no data is sent

also very important! however this also worked for me

  • The performance of the backend is very very bad. Page loading takes more than 12sec – testing the whole backend took me hours!

ummm.. bad :( The in-transparent icons are the result of performance issues with pngfix, which added semi-transparency and was thus removed from core.

  • Status changed from Accepted to Needs Feedback
  • % Done changed from 80 to 100
  • Workspace Module is still unusable: IE6 doesn´t complete loading and the main content frame stays blank
  • Filelist: The file upload is unusable as well (for description see above)
  • Background images´ (Sprite) transparency is still not displayed correct

The overall performance seems to be a little bit better and during my tests have not occure any db errors. Context menues were displayed as expected.

Thanks for the Feedback, Raphael,

however I have to appologize, I think. Although the fix has been committed to the workspaces repository last night, it hasn't been merged back to TYPO3 trunk.

I have now manually updated your version to the latest state of workspaces.

  • Workspace Module is still unusable: IE6 doesn´t complete loading and the main content frame stays blank
    For me it looks like in attached screen shot
  • Filelist: The file upload is unusable as well (for description see above)
    Does a JS error occur? I retested it again successfully. I'm also a bit curious, how the field can be filled. IIRC it's not possible to set a default value for an upload field, thus.. dunno.. how this can happen. Could you try clearing the browser cache?
  • Background images´ (Sprite) transparency is still not displayed correct
    This will not be changed :)

Thanks for your work!
Steffen

hi Steffen,

File upload works now as expected.

  • The workspace Module is loaded completely now, but no items are displayed (see attached screenshot)
  • The form elements (levels, filter) aren´t positioned correctly and overlap the tab navigation
  • The line height of the legend has to be adjusted
