Context menu layer on does not work on Mac
Added by Peter Niederlag about 20 years ago.
Updated over 18 years ago.
Description
This menu works without problems on Mac, with a Mozilla based browser.
Maybe it should be activeted for that platform on a next release of
Typo3... ;) I'm sure it will be appreciated...
For the moment, you can remove the detection at line 350 of the typo3/template.php file. Change this:
return !$GLOBALS['BE_USER']->uc['disableCMlayers'] &&
$GLOBALS['CLIENT']['FORMSTYLE'] &&
$GLOBALS['CLIENT']['SYSTEM']!='mac';
To this:
return !$GLOBALS['BE_USER']->uc['disableCMlayers'] &&
$GLOBALS['CLIENT']['FORMSTYLE'];
And it works like a dream...

If we change this, then we need to be sure that it won't break other browsers.
- Which browsers work fine with the change? Which don't?
- Are there any differences with some browser versions?
- Please don't test the first menu level, also check the "More options..." submenu.
- Some have said it fails on Opera. Why does it work on Opera/Windows?
Ok, so here are complete tests on Mac (OSX 10.3), as requested:
Browser: Mozilla
Version: 1.7.3
Problems: None
- -
Browser: Firefox
Version: 1.0
Problems: None
-
Browser: Netscape
Version: 7.0.5
Problems: None
-
Browser: Internet Explorer
Version: 5.2.3
Problems: None
Note: The second level menu is drawn correctly on this version. This is the last realease of the browser. It's not developped for the Mac platform anymore.
-
Browser: Safari
Version: 1.2.4
Problems: Roll-Out problem. The menu (level 1 & 2) are functionnal, but the rollout feature doesn't work, so the menu items stay highligted.
-
Browser: Camino (was Chimera)
Version: 0.8.1
Problems: None
-
Browser: OmniWeb
Version: 5.0.1
Problems: Same problem as Safari, and the second level does not display.
Note: This browser is a complete nightmare with the T3 backend. Takes a few minutes just to load the page tree, some parts of the backend are not displayed correctly.
-
Browser: Opera
Version: 6.0.3
Problems: The full menu doesn't work. Nothing is displayed.
Note: Screenshot added by request of Michael Stucki.

If you need more informations, just tell me. : )
More facts about Opera:
The last release is 7.5.4.
The menu is displaying, but when you try to click on an item, it disappears...
No JavaScript error is detected in the console.
Opera is working quite ok here - no problems, even with the secondary options.
Version information
